New eBay Feedback Policy

I mostly buy on ebay and its been hit and miss with sellers leaving feedback. It ticks me off cause I always paypal within minutes of winning an auction that I sometimes don't get feedback even after leaving it for the seller, which is something I view as their responsibility and part of the deal.

I can see this fixes only some of the probs though and opens up avenues for more scammers. For a small seller, this seems to have no advantages at all.

I don't think this new policy will go long without changes, too ripe for potential abuse. Most of the people I've encountered have been great, but there have been a few of the other kind.

No problem anymore. Just let them know in your Paypal comments section that feedback must be delivered within 5 minutes of payment or you leave a big fat negative! Get a few friends together and have them buy some cheap items and leave negatives. After getting stung like that 4 or 5 times the seller will learn their lesson. I am actually thinking of building up a pool of buyers and offering a "revenge" service. For a small fee, we will crush any seller you want. The fee will vary on whether the seller is a small time 85 feedback seller or a 1000+ powerseller. The same could be done with your fellow competitor sellers. Have competition for your products? Neg them into a black hole. We could also get together and force a seller to give members of our group a ten per-cent discount on everything we order or else, the whole group negs the seller into suspension. The possibilities are endless!

What's your eBay user name so I be sure and block you from ever bidding on anything I sell, ok?

I'm sorry, but it's thinking like that that is just completely unethical. For every honest person you try and screw over on eBay, I hope karma bites you in the ass.

lol.... I was thinking the same thing.

Knotted, I must admit, that's pretty funny. Perceptive, but very messed up. Its like an online hit squad. You should only hire female hitmen and call it "Knotted's Angel's". Then you could be like charlie, and no one has to ever see you. Just call in the missions from a voice box.

Thanks for proving our point of buyers taking advantage of this new policy.

Actually guys, I was using it all to prove a point. I am a large eBay Seller. That is how I finance my RC habit. I sell stuff I don't need to buy more stuff I don't need! I have over 300 positives and have been selling for 3 years. In that time I have been amazed at the unbelievable demands buyers come up with. I have 100% because I worked hard and bent over many times to make customers happy. People have tried to scam me many times with "no delivery", need partial refund, want refund and want to keep the item. The list is endless. Most are newbies who don't read the terms in the description and hit you without even a single contact to make things right. Now, anyone can give a neg for any reason and you can do nothing. Paypal can even freeze your account with no evidence of wrongdoing, just a buyer complaint. Anyway, it's the end for me. I closed my account and will try other avenues. The sad thing is that soon all eBay will have is huge powerselling stores with junk, the whole auction idea will be gone. Sad.
