New ebay policy will alienated buyers and sellers even more

I really hope eBay will back out of this new policy because it will lead to even more buyers versus sellers problems. There is no way for a seller to opt-out of this new "improvement". So what is it all about?? Something that can hurt sellers DSR and even worst, it can make them buyers angry at them.

EBay has started to send automated "payment reminders" to buyers who did not pay their seller. No big deal you think? Think again, eBay starts sending them after only 48 hours!
So you bought let's say 10 items from a seller and are waiting for another auction ending in 7 days? You will receive 10 of these nice reminders after 48 hours, and more coming your way if you didn't pay after 96 hours!

Sellers cannot opt out of the first wave of reminders, they can only opt out for the second waves. But believe me, most sellers are not even aware of this new "improvement". So their buyers will be receiving quite a lot of useless of reminders.

In my opinion, buyers may feel harassed and this can lead to even more problems for the sellers.

Leave communication tools into the sellers hands.
