I haven't been able to say this often in the past two years...in fact never....Ebay's changes have been so anti consumer and anti small business, that it's hard to find the silver lining in all this 'Innovative Disruption'..*cough* *choke*.........but I'll give them credit where it's due...Ebay have finally figured out that Jewellery buyers DON'T want to wade through endless crap listings to get to what they're looking for.....read on...
***Changes to Selling Jewellery Policy – Effective January 2010***
12 November 2009 | 10:28AM EST
From 5 January 2010 eBay.com.au will begin enforcing the recently introduced Selling Jewellery Policy.
We had announced the introduction of this policy in August this year however after consultation with a number of Jewellery sellers, eBay decided to revise the policy before enforcing it. The revisions pertain to the sale of Gold Jewellery internationally and domestically.
The policy is available for review here.

The eBay team The Specifics are Here....
