Ebay has lost thier minds

[427king]

Heres the new ebay policy regarding feedback,i guess buyers dont have to pay anymore and can have a 100% rating . Should work real well .................................
Important changes to Feedback
Buyers, you can no longer receive negative or neutral Feedback from sellers.


You should leave honest and accurate Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings.


Don't show me this again

Chuck,

I saw this for the very first time tonight and almost did
a double-take! My reaction was the same as yours. What's
the point of feedback if you can't call a spade a spade.
I guess feedback just went PC - huh? Now children, say only
nice things about one another........

My thoughts exactly Chuck.

If it's deserved, leave a positive feedback, but with a <u>scalding</u> comment.

...they do other stupid crap now too...

Actually it was just put into effect today. I left feedback yesterday and it gave me the option of neutral or negative. Today it did not. Very stupid on ebay's part.

Actually it just went into effect. It was announced months ago. The reason for it is so sellers can't give retalitory feedback if the buyer gives them bad feedback. There were also a few other changes. You now get credit for multipule feedbacks from the same buyer. My feedback rating jumped over 125 points today. Their reasoning is good but the way they tried to fix the problem sucks. Now if a buyer doesn't pay, you can't leave bad feedback. So now buyers will always have a 100% rating. I think the way they hid the bidders name is stupid too. You can't tell if there is shill bidding.

I agree with the policy but not the way they did it. Sellers wait for a negative feedback and then blast you even though you did nothing wrong. The way the policy should be, is that once the buyer has paid a proven payment through paypal etc., then you cannot leave negative feed back.
This allows a screwed buyer to post freely, and allows the victim of a dead beat the option to call out the jerk.
