I admit using Paypal is convenient, getting $$ fast etc, but while you hear everyday about "power sellers", how often do we hear about "power buyers"? Right- we dont. I fear that the average buyer is just a once in a while buyer, and they would rather just not bid, instead of being forced to open a Paypal account.

I fear this new change will only reduce the number of bidder willing to put up with Ebay's demands. Just as their "Best Match" system seems to favor items sold by power sellers, I see this as just another way our items get lower views/selling prices.
