Ebay NEEDS a new feedback system!!!

About 3 days ago I sold about 25 etopps cards to one buyer on ebay. He bought almost everything.
He sent me the payment the next day and i transfered the cards to him within 3 hours!!!
He just left me positive feedback but with what i'm guessing is 4 stars for all my stuff.
My star rating went from 4.8 to 4.6
And i "shipped" the cards in 3 stinking hours
He must of been another of those buyers who say 4 out of 5 stars is good
Thats not what ebay thinks though...
Is there anything we can do to get ebay to fix this problem?
There has to be somebody i can call.
I'm fairly sure that i'm not the only one who has had this problem before...

  • that sucks! I would like to think something could be done but in ebayland your attempts will probably fall on def ears!

    I think ebay needs a buyer feedback system like the seller one where sellers can rate buyers.

    Obviously your ebay account is ruined and you need to start over from scratch.
  • its a crappy system made crappier by the morons running the company. It is, what is and I use it to redirect sellers into buying from me directly thus cutting down ebay fees, listing fees and final value fees.

    I have enough customers now that my % of money coming in is 70% non Ebay. They still get their cut via FeePal, but its much much less.

    The feedback system was imperfect, but NOW its an abomination.

    Agreed. If having your DSR stars dinged doesn't get you reaching for Jello shots laced with Strychnine then nothing will.

    Who did everyone used to whine to about totally inconsequential happenings before the Internet was invented? Their wives?

    Since Al Gore ( claimed ) invented the internet , maybe he can fix Ebay's problem.

    How could I have ever missed his potential ?

    "the real question is what, if anything, did Gore actually do to create the modern Internet? According to Vincent Cerf, a senior vice president with MCI Worldcom who's been called the Father of the Internet, "The Internet would not be where it is in the United States without the strong support given to it and related research areas by the Vice President in his current role and in his earlier role as Senator."

    The inventor of the Mosaic Browser, Marc Andreesen, credits Gore with making his work possible. He received a federal grant through Gore's High Performance Computing Act. The University of Pennsylvania's Dave Ferber says that without Gore the Internet "would not be where it is today."

    Joseph E. Traub, a computer science professor at Columbia University, claims that Gore "was perhaps the first political leader to grasp the importance of networking the country.

    Al Gore invented the Spelling Bee.
  • feedback system gets better with this new item: "Check your low DSR's and if you're on track to qualify " . This will make it even more fun, now if you get to many low DSR's 1's or 2's, bing bang boom there goes your status and possibly your account ifin u don't get these 1's & 2's to go away.

    In other words or my point is you think it is bad now just wait it's about to get worse. imageimage

    Not sure how that works as the buyer does not get stars the seller does.

    Does the seller after you buy this 5 star ratingfor a buck then buy something from you?

    The only thing this seller can do is leave a positive for the buyer.

    Good for you.

    Good point Steve . . .

    Looks like the seller gets the $ as well as the bump to their DSRs -- nice work if you can get it!

    I guess this scheme worked better pre-DSR when high/100% feedback ruled eBay.

    Buy it and leave 1's across the board. YOU get feedback, they get what they deserve for beign stupid

    I emailed the seller and asked how it worked.

    This is her/his reply.


    You are right! I changed the listing. Didn't mean to be misleading, and I do appreciate you pointing that out. Two people purchased and I did give them positive feedback, in which I wrote "5-star eBayer" or something to that effect when I realized my error. They were happy with that.
