New eBay Feedback Policy

[pipeous]

I have one negative feedback, from a non paying bidder I filed against. the person did it to a few people and had his account suspended. Even though this person was proven to be a bad person, to remove this bad feedback, I would have to pay the fair trade fee to remove it. I think that is assinine having to pay to remove a negative because someone didn't pay in the first place.

I do dislike the sellers that wait for you to leave feedback first though. I always leave feedback as soon as payment is done. That is the way it should be. Their part is to pay. If they have, you leave feedback. Too many sellers use it to retailiate when they have done the wrong thing. I bought some brushless stuff, the guy takes off camping and delays shipping to me for 2 weeks and then still waits for my feedback? so if I leave a negative for waiting forever for my products he slams me even if I paid within minutes.

I think a better solution is a seller can't leave negative feedback if he waits until after the buyer leaves feedback. the option for a seller to leave negative feedback after the buyer has done so gets disabled, but also, a buyer should have feedback disabled if a npb file has been claimed for the flip side

Bottom line is if you arent able to be honest in your comments to/about buyers then the whole premis that Ebay works on will be lost. The system works basically on the honesty and integrity of the people buying and selling on there and if you are not allowed to place negetive comments when they are desreved then the whole system crashes down.

Ebay has gotten out of control anyway. Between the Ebay listing and final value fees and the Paypal fees they are taking a huge chunk of cash. They are taing way more than they desrve anyway. Its about time they did something stupid to knock themselves down a few pegs.
