I think this way is better, instead of buyers getting screwed, now we have a little bit more of non-paying bidders and you have to wait a little longer for your money..

Before, I could buy something from someone and it ended up not being what I expected and I couldn't leave negative feedback because they would leave me negative feedback saying "SCAMMER" etc.. even if I paid and did everything a buyer should..

Now, this entices the seller to be honest and do everything to satisfy the buyer, and even give refunds if the item is not as described.. Something that eBay was really bad about..
