Sounds like their elite is as out of touch as ours.

I was considering going back to selling international again when I started back up in Jan.
No way in hell will I do it now, at least to European countries. I will still consider Japan and Australia, but that's about it

Is that only for selling WITHIN the EU or for EU buyers no matter where the seller is located? Unless credit card co's totally throw us under the bus the 2 year thing may not apply to us. Of course we're on the hook for a year anyway which is bad enough.

As far a I know it's only for EU members selling within the EU and just regulates cross-border transactions from an existing ruling. I'm going to continue with international sales. I have a feeling this will be revisited fairly quickly by the EU, particularly Germany as they're the second greatest exporter in the world behind China - they can't afford to have their trade throttled.

Reversal of the burden of proof: For instance, if an Italian consumer discovers today that a product he/she purchased online more than 6 months ago is defective and asks the seller to repair or replace it, he/she may be asked to prove that this defect existed at the time of delivery. Under the proposed new rules, throughout the two-year guarantee period, the consumer will be able to ask for a remedy without having to prove that the defect existed at the time of delivery."

Wasn't it paypal that threw us under the bus with 180 day return policy?

Yup. Supposedly based on something the EU was doing, as that's where it originated and then PP just slapped it on everyone. Now I have to wonder if PP will go to 2 years.

Whatever happened to reading product reviews before a purchase? Two years is ridiculous.

That two year policy might entice buyers to buy from out of country sellers. But that won't be much good when sellers stopped selling. That's the dumbest policy I think I've ever seen. Who in their right mind is going to sell and give a 2 year guarantee?
