eBay's New Feedback Policy is rolling out...

eBay LINK

If you open the above link and sign in (upper left) it'll take you to the same page where you can then check what your feedback (click the link) will look like once eBay kicks in these policy changes for the U.S.

Remember, neutrals will now count.

that link is to Ebay Australia...wont let me sign on

newbiecollector · May 14, 2008 1:34AM

Are you sure that is the correct link?

It will not let me sign in

newbiecollector · May 14, 2008 1:34AM

AJ types faster than I do

braddick · May 14, 2008 1:35AM

<< that link is to Ebay Australia...wont let me sign on >>

Yes, it will.
Just log on anyway and even though the second page (looks the same as the first) appears like it didn't work, it did. Click the feedback (lower center of page) and it'll take you to your feedback.

newbiecollector · May 14, 2008 1:37AM

Nope........
No workie for me

braddick · May 14, 2008 1:40AM

Ok, let's try this:

On the upper left of the page (where it says, 'G'Day') log in. It'll take you back to the SAME PAGE (where an error notice will still appear, in red). You really are logged in though, and if you then click the go to feedback link it will allow you to do so.

Again, it appears like you're not logged on, but you are. Try again!

I think I finally found it.............says I have NO feedback but will after I have 10 transactions (or something like that). It then lists all my existing feedback

My feedback and the page I found

you can just go to www.ebay.com.au . you dont have to sign in at all. just go to advanced search and pull up (items by seller). then type in your user name. then click on your feedback. no need to sign in.

newbiecollector · May 14, 2008 1:47AM

I do believe i Just confirmed how dense I am.............it is about sellers feedback.

Sorry I messed up your thread

When does this take place in US?

I want to throw an "eBay feedback" rock at a seller and have my "eBay Buyer feedback" Shield in place.

braddick · May 14, 2008 1:57AM

I like cohocorp's way much more, the method I used was the only one I knew (until now).

What is fun is to pull the auctions I have runnung and find I have ZERO offered! Then I realize I don't ship out of the U.S. so there would be no record on that site of my listings.

Russ · May 14, 2008 2:01AM

You may not have a "shield" for auctions that closed prior to the change. eBay has not clarified that issue.

Is this designed to eliminate "retaliatory feedback"?

If so, won't this ruin alot of powersellers?

Wolf359 · May 14, 2008 3:44AM

I suspect the 99% and above feedback we see for a lot of problem sellers is going to go dramatically lower by the end of summer or so.

Sellers can still protect themselves though, by blocking buyers who give them negative feedback.

Russ · May 14, 2008 3:58AM

<< Is this designed to eliminate "retaliatory feedback"?

Yep. Of the top 100 powersellers on eBay, 60 will no longer be powersellers once the new feedback calculation kicks in. And that's before they even start seeing an increase in negs.

You may see more organized groups of sellers sharing information about bad buyers to block.

i never sign into a site which was linked. thats why i provided a different method for everyone.

with the new system, my feedback rating went from 99.8 % to 100%. so it actually went up. i guess ebay only goes back so far when determining your percentage. the oldest negs dont count apparently. i had 2 retalitory negs in my early days. but that was probably 2 years ago IIRC. anyone know how far they go back for the rolling average regarding the feedback percentage, 12 months or so i would venture to guess?

One year under the new system.

Russ, What is the threshold for PS? 98% I think, correct?

When does the NARU kick-in...95%?

Russ · May 14, 2008 6:16AM

<< Russ, What is the threshold for PS? 98% I think, correct? >>

Yep, 98%. In addition to the neutrals being added in, eBay will now calculate the powerseller percentage the same as everybody else. Under the old system, they counted all feedback for PS'ers not just uniques, so many powerseller's numbers were inflated compared to other sellers.

As for NARU, there is no set percentage.

Nice. Same number of positives (415), but my one neg no longer shows (prior to 12 mos). I'm 100%
