It is good that the receiver can now pay the ticket fee. Without the exchange being linked to Tm like last year, I haven't found it to be helpful. I don't think many people know about it. For me stubhub and the Facebook group have been very helpful this season.
Yeah but I suspect that'll improve over time (knowledge that a 'new' TE exists). Overhauling the system coming out of a lockout was bad timing to put it mildly. At least they don't artificially jack up the list price this year - last year something I list for $40 was like $44 in actuality.
The other thing about the new system that sucks is you have to log in twice, to your team account then to the TicketExchange account. Plus I state on my preferences I want everything credited to my bank savings account but I always wind up getting checks in the mail 
btw I got my hard copy invoice but I'd already renewed online. The hard copy does reflect the credit, but the money got taken out of my account without the credit (i.e. the initial total) cause I renewed early. Oh well, either it'll show up as a credit later on or I'll just be on them to apply it to the playoffs.
