I must've missed this when it was announced.

"In addition to the Member Profile enhancements, in the next few weeks eBay will be adding a new feature called Mutual Feedback Withdrawal. Mutual Feedback Withdrawal allows members to withdraw feedback on those occasions when they have worked out a dispute that caused a negative feedback. Stay tuned for more information on this new enhancement later this month."

This pre-filled information is a bunch of crap. Do you realize how many negatives are going to be left after this is in place.

"USE A PROFESSIONAL STOCK PHOTO
There's no need to upload or take pictures unless you want to."

This will of course make it easier for people with cracked, broken, messed up stuff to fool the buyer. I hate when someone uses a stock photo and now they will be encouraged. And that goes for the pre-filled information about the product too. This isn't a retail store where you know the quality of the product your getting. You have to rely on the actual photo and info. I know that you can still use your own photo and info, but since this is going to be easier, why would the seller put any effort into the auction at all.

I hope it denotes somewhere by the picture that it IS a stock photo and not the actual unit for sale. I think that's terribly dishonest.

Ugh, this is making it SO much harder to just casually browse the vintage stuff when I don't know what I want. I have either a) know what I want right off the bat or b) surf 1,000's of pages through Xbox, SNES, etc. whatever I don't want.

Why don't they just get rid of the Videogame section at this point and just dump it all into "electronic toys" Is eBay trying to dumb down the system and in effect, make it more difficult to use?

The Muze listings I believe say that the seller is responsible for the listing right at the very bottom (small text than the rest of the auction)
