SELLERS AGAINST NEW FEEDBACK SYSTEM

PLEASE LISTEN, SELLERS !!!!! To those sellers who keep writing letters and inserting them in purchases and petitioning the new feedback system: I appreciate the fact that some people are vindictive and may leave you unjust reviews and I am sincerely sorry for your trouble and stress. HOWEVER !!!!!!! I am so glad I no longer have to just shut up and take it if I have been swindled, treated poorly or carelessly after spending my hard earned money with an Ebay seller just to preserve my rating from the damage inflicted by retaliating, extortionist , bullying sellers. I  have never and would never leave negative feedback carelessly. I know some circumstances dictate need, however, I was unjustly slandered twice by reporting fraud and for a long while felt  resentful and helpless and let it restrain my feedback honesty, which defeats the whole system and made me feel irresponsible for failing my fellow members by not warning them through sharing experiences truthfully. Sellers, please know that most buyers (including myself) review and consider the source of negative and especially unreasonable sounding feedbacks before deciding against doing business with someone. So, if you are an honest respected seller, you should not be worried about the rantings of a few petty and probably inexperienced ebayers in your ratings. The pros outweigh the cons, in my opinion.  Still, I am not saying you are not entitled to disagree. I AM saying, stop harassing your fellow ebayers - most of whom are thrilled with Ebay for the liberating action that defends and protects its honest customers. I Heart Ebay! ;-) KKFDIVA

Wow, that outta stir the waters a little. Not sure why you're addressing this crowd, though. Most of the sellers here are the responsible ones.

I know what you are saying but we should have rights to. for now we can not even leave a neg for a NONPAYING winner and it's starting to be more and more of them now that they can get by with so to say. I mean we don't know how many times they have done this to others anymore, before if I saw a bidder had not paid for items I could canceal that bid but now I have no ideal how many times they may have done it. then if they don't pay it takes me 14 days to be able to relist and get my fees back.

I guess that is to the point. I believe most of the ebay sellers are very honest and responsible. I would go out of my way to make sure you were happy with any purchase. I would never try to swindle you. I think you must have done business with the exception to the rule here on ebay. I have only been selling for a few months. But I have made a number of purchases in that time, and I have not had a bad experience yet. Most sellers are very honest people who only want to make your experience a great one. How does everyone else feel about this???

I solved the problem...I left Ebay,and Paypal....Plus if you want to really get thier attention,send that letter attached to a brick.You send them 20,000 bricks ...they'll pay attention.However,Ebay is not changing because they are doing away with the small seller in favor of BIG BOX sellers.The small guy will not be here much longer.AND ...no matter how good of a seller you are...your ratings are going to drop lower and lower..that is the plan.

I've just started to do the same, proto. Slow so far, but like you say, with aggressive marketing, it should pick up quickly.

Yes, just doing mommy stuff... :)
I do think there should be a way to filter the fraudulent buyers as well. I would absolutely support a petition to amend the extremely flawed lack of pre-screening available to the seller.

Yes, I am a seller when time permits and I know I risk a negative transaction but I have mostly great things to say about the sellers AND buyers i have dealt with here.
I'm really sincerely sorry for the honest sellers who are being driven away, though.

yeh I buy and sell.. I have been got as a buyer and now I make sure I read the whole listing before I buy anything and I will ask for more pictures if all they have listed is one.
As a seller I try to treat my buyers the way I want to be treated.

Pot stirrer, I kinda resemble that remark.... No, really just venting for the first time ever here.
I buy a ton of stuff here and have gotten recently annoyed by being constantly addressed and solicited in this matter....

Yes, that's why I buy so much stuff on ebay, it's a mom's dream for saving time and money and most moms are really sweet and grateful , like myself, to be selling or buying things needed or past their usefulness.

Your comments are duly noted...but look at the facts, less than 2% of all e-bay sellers were creating the problems with retalitory feedback, non-shippments, just plain scams..so the sins of a few effect the standings of the many, the facts of the matter is that the 2% were also in the top 10% of e-bay sellers, so instead of losing theyre largest revenue stream they just screwed it up for everyone, to keep thier pockets lined, take a look at some of the feedback on these titanium sellers, anyone else would of been banned from e-bay long ago...and i think that this is where most of the disgruntled sellers frustrations are coming from, there is now a rash of dishonest buyers taking advantage of the no-neg feedback ruling, non payers, claiming non-delivery, and guess what,its just raised the cost to everyone. i now require insurance on all shipments, also i charge my customers delivery confirmation on parcel post listings, i have ended auctions early and banned buyers due to previous bad feedback, I worked very hard to get and maintain the standing i have in the e-bay community and i plan on keeping it that way, if its to the detriment of the buyer based upon e-bays decisions.so be it...

Yes, Mark. The frustration is widespread now. I was scammed by one of those powers sellers, and reported as much. Then they ruined my perfect rating and continued to bombard me with emails, phone calls and arbitration requests to withdraw but I stood firm, on principle.
I sympathize with your changes in shipping and would not question it as a buyer, you are just being careful and I respect that.
I would gladly do business with any of these blog sellers but then as said earlier, they are NOT the sellers in question just as I am NOT these buyers from hell.
So, please don't cancel my bid if you see me on one of your auctions - I'm good for it.
Signing off for now, kinda busy over here .....
blessings to you all.
sincerely, kkfdiva
