Presumably, the buyer would get my guitar in a few days, though! Wow. How could I refuse?

I believe that I shall be looking elsewhere to sell my guitars!
I just found this out too. Wow. I've been using ebay occasionally for 9 years. I've only got 75 feedbacks (all positive), so I guess I'm just a nuisance to them. I just recently started using paypal, I'm sort of glad I did, although I don't know if I want to continue selling on ebay. This is just another shaft that ebay is giving the small sellers.
