Feedback Snipe - a million dollar idea

Do any of the snipe services offer a method to snipe a feedback (so I can Neg when it's appropriate, without fear of retaliatory garbage)?

Also, what about eBay introducing auto feedback for buyers based on paypal payments made within a time period - say, positive feedback for items paid for in zero to seven days, neutral for 8 - 10, and no auto buyer feedback thereafter. If the paypal is somehow reversed, the feedback is too.

Seems ridiculous to get a neg (like my only neg) when you have paid swiftly - your only real buyer's responsibility.

Thoughts?

    Wouldn't work - there's no set time limit on how long you can leave feedback. Ebay says that items remain available for feedback for at least 90 days, not exactly 90 days. BIG difference.

    There have been previous posts here at CU from buyers who have left a neg at the last second but it extended the 90 day period and the seller was able to still leave a retaliatory neg.

    You'll have to come up with a different million dollar idea - perhaps a chocolate candy in which the more you eat, the more weight you lose - LOL

    First of all, I believe (and I think other sellers will agree) that the buyer also has a responsibility to communicate with the seller if there is an issue. I can't tell you how many times I've heard of a seller getting a neg before he knew anything was wrong. More often than not, the seller would have been willing to refund or replace an item, or at least try to make it right - but was never given a chance. That is why so many sellers have taken to only leaving feedback until after it has been received. The transaction is not done until the buyer is satisfied. So many times something can be worked out if the seller is given a chance.

    Also, the way I understand it, there is a firm 90 day window for leaving feedback. As far as getting a retaliatory neg, most sensible people understand what a retaliatory neg is and take that into consideration. What's more improtant is how you respond to it. If you can make a statement just giving the facts and remain professional, then an experienced Ebayer will know who was the idiot and who was not. In other words, a good response can be a positive for you. But remember, if you gave the first neg, and it was unwarranted - that reflects on you also.

    Nope, I have left feedback well after 90 days. In one case over 100.

    Good for you.

    Good one!

    Or how about a Hershey bar with bristles - that way you're brushing your teeth while eating a sweet!

  • auction #'s are sequential, and if ebay transactions "leave" the database after whatever # days on a FIFO basis, you could predict when the transaction in question would "leave". therefore you could have negative "snipe" feedback queued to when some set item number before the one in question becomes no longer available. just a thought...

    I was looking at items that get dropped and have come up with a formula:

    Now, if anyone has any questions...every positive number has two square roots: one positive, the other negative. The notation Öb generally is only used when b is a nonnegative real number; it means "the nonnegative square root of b," and not just "the square root of b." The notation Öb probably should not be used at all in the context of complex numbers. Every nonzero complex number b has two square roots, but in general there is no natural way to say which one should be associated with the expression Öb.

    I could tell you how I came up with this but then I would have to kill myself!

  • the integral of the product of two function is equal to the product of the integral of two functions image

    i think the first few #’s of an item number correspond to the category of the item, and the rest are sequential. i would imagine they're modular and item numbers eventually repeat?

    and mike, if you want equations, try this on for size image

    and the separated flow model is even worse...

    I only have one question for Mr. Melon, but it is broken into 27 different parts.
