eBay Feedback

AKFlyer

I have read here that sellers can no longer give feedback on buyers. Yet I have received feedback from sellers several times recently. One seller gave feedback immediately after receiving payment...

Is it a case where sellers can only give positive FB?

Thanks.

Positive only to buyers

There is a new report buyer button on the feedback page

All buyer should receive positive feed back, right??

Some sellers would threaten buyers with negative feedback if they did not give the seller positive feedback on eBay. eBay found out about it and changed the rules so that sellers can only leave positive feedback for buyers.

Buyers have now wised up to how it works and at times threaten sellers with negative feedback until the seller gives in to their demands.

I suppose that someday it'll go full circle and eBay will dream something else up.

BTW, where have you been since this policy has been in effect for a couple of years now?

I've been around... I just haven't done any selling on eBay in a couple of years. I'm glad they changed it.

Didn't pay any attention to feedback directed my way since only a neg would have gotten my attention.

I always found it irritating when a seller would send me a message saying that as soon as I left positive feedback for that seller, THEN he would do the same for me. After all, my part of the contract had already been upheld. Either the seller was satisfied already, or not. So withholding FB was wrong.

Positive Feed Back has alot to do with your fees that you pay, so if you are doing very large volume a 5 to 5% difference on every transaction can add up.
