OK.
If you"re playing a rebuy, consider 10 rebuys as a guide, and if that"s too much for you, don"t play - or look to get lucky and not have to rebuy.
There is a skill to rebuys, and it"s different to a freezeout. Obviously, after the rebuy period it"s exactly the same as a freezeout. During the rebuy period, what is wrong with someone calling all-in pre-flop with J7o? They aren"t going to be a huge underdog to any other hand (no hand is that big a dog against one other preflop),and they are looking to double up or rebuy.
Yes, it favours those with larger wallets - but so do freezeouts. If someone is playing a £100 freezeout and has millions in his bank account - he isn"t going to be too bothered if he gets knocked out and loses his buy-in.
The satellite is a $5 rebuy. Ten rebuys is £35. Is that too excessive? The more who take multiple rebuys, the more seats there are on offer.
People don"t have to play it. They can win a seat in the freezeouts, or via the clickfest. It"s another option for those that want to take it up.

I always line up with 3 buy ins - the first entry, one rebuy, and an add on. I certainly never go crazy and use as many as 10 buy ins - I prefer to play the other side of the equation and take advantage of those who do.

I"d say you"re limiting your long-term EV.
