Jim Alfredson Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 I noticed I now have a 100% feedback rating on eBay. I have two negatives from a few years ago; did they just drop those? What happened? Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 3, 2008 Report Posted November 3, 2008 Your percentage only covers the last twelve months now. Quote
kh1958 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 Buyers can no longer receive negative feedback on ebay. That change was made a few months ago. So feedback ratings were restated, eliminating prior negatives received as a buyer. Quote

RDK Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 It doesn't. Ebay changes haven't made sense in some time. Quote

It seems too many sellers were posting retaliatory negative feedback. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 It seems too many sellers were posting retaliatory negative feedback. Which, of course, buyers never do. Quote
Daniel A Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 It seems too many sellers were posting retaliatory negative feedback. Which, of course, buyers never do. Usually the buyer is the one to submit feedback first, so I would think buyers were subject to this more often than sellers. Quote
Niko Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 i would say the old feedback system was definitely flawed in that respect... if a seller gets a negative feedback what reason does he have not to give a negative feedback back? (none i'd say) so a negative feedback in the old days only meant the person had been involved in a screwed up transaction but it didn't say who was the victim so it was a bit unfair restricting feedback to the buyers is of course problematic as well but since the seller can at least wait until he got the money with sending the item i'd say it's a better solution (maybe separating buyer and seller feedback would be an option as well... haven't thought about this) Quote
AllenLowe Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 ahh, the whole thing sucks - I love ebay and have done a lot of stuff over there, but nothing makes any sense and the more they "fix" things, the harder it is to use. Not to mention how vertically integrated they are - fees on the sale, fees on paypal - which they own. Also, and try changing a reserve price - do they refund the fee you paid for the HIGHER amount? no - Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 4, 2008 Report Posted November 4, 2008 Omigod...Allen's gonna turn this into another "horizontal vs vertical" thread and confuse the hell out of me! But I agree. At this point, I see eBay as a great idea that ran it's course... Quote
