Maybe i'm thick, but what possible benefit is it to play to allow people to
sell stuff on their site at inflated prices to play....and they DO
sell...which means maybe i'm not the one who is thick afterall.

What I fail to understand, is why have this feature, when it says they are
not currently allowing people to be "playtraders".
One seller - the only seller? - dvdukltd, seems to be dvd.co.uk (dvdukltd
screenname on ebay..powerseller with no items for sale.) Could play be
targetting powersellers etc for the purpose of denting the ebay revenue
stream?
Also noted that this dvd place ship from jersey (and oxfordshire) - might
have a deal with play...more to it than meets the eye that's for sure.
Hmmm...conspiracy :-)
