Am seeking general opinions from eBay sellers & buyers regarding the new feedback policies. Is this the right forum to discuss the recently initiated rules disallowing negative or neutral feedback from sellers? I've had a 100% eBay feedback rating for eight years (earned and maintained by bending over back-words, sometimes to a degree that threatens spinal injury) that has just dropped to 99.6, the result of neutral feedback left by someone who did not receive delivery within what they feel is a timely period. Is eBay focusing on the buyers and investors these days, to the detriment of their sellers; the folks who pay the fees that provides the company its income?

I too feel htat treating neutral as negatives was wrong. My percentage droped from a 99.8% to a 96.1% from some buyers leaving neutrals.

Luck for us eBay has heard our concerns and are not going to include neutrals as part of our pertentage. You can see more info here: http://www.yourauctionnews.com/ebay-hears-our-concerns-about-neutral-feedback/

I'm sure these changes came about do to all of us sellers letting them know how we feel.

Here is to your success.

The problem with the new feedback system is you can no longer as a seller leave negative feedback. The problem is when someone doesn't pay you can't leave them negative feedback but any buyer that wants to can leave you negative feedback.

It's a system that leaves sellers vunarable to unscrupulous buyers. I don't know what ebay was thinking about when they introduced this, but one thing is for sure, it's taken away a part of the ebay soul. Feedback is what made the site unique. It's complete nonsense to shackle the seller. Unfortunately they've got a monopoly and they are cracking the whip. We sellers have just got to get on with it or leave.
