Fellow collectors,
        I am wondering if others have noticed this and
Have concerns as do I: I have noted two recent trends with eBay
(at least regarding meteorites, which are 99 % of my eBay interest)

1: Up until very recently a perspective bidder could send a question
To the seller regarding the piece. NOW, there is an IMPLICATION
You can ask a question, but, in fact, there is just a list of stock answers
In a few categories upon which you may click....

2: Up until recently one could download (a) photo(s) of what one was
Buying. Now, about 95% of the time one cannot. (It seams curiously
Inconsistent that in a very small minority of cases one still can....)

        Do other list members have concerns about this shift in eBay?
        RSVP to list, Michael
