Good news !

However, the terminal declines that I have seen lately in winning bid

I think that the damage to their company was done from the moment that
they publicly announced this ridiculous idea.

" ebay continues to flog dead horse by challenging no PayPal only ruling "

Reminds me of the wise, old saying:

When flogging a dead horse, you always gotta watch out for the back lash.
