EBay to ban negative seller views

Another daft idea.......

I got negative feedback on a book i was selling all because the buyer failed to read the description, he just read the title......
Never contacted me, just left negative and returned the book....
As a seller what can you do with prats like that.

I think the feeback system is a false safety net, as often people will agree not to leave negative as they know they will get negative back. So the bad sellers/buyers get away with it over and over again.

Perhaps a simple rating system where its not known who is leaving what rating, that way the real iffy one's will be outed. Or simply drop it alltogether and let ebay sort it out.

It's crap anyway.

For the scenario: "I bought something it arrived, it was what I paid for." Somehow, in ebay land. The conclusion of a simple transaction seems to result in paroxysms of near orgasmic fervent....

banning negative feedback is daft. it might mean more sales so more money to ebay, but sellers motivation to give good service is often motivated by getting good feedback

on occasions i have bought second hand stuff through amazon and you dont have that so people dont give a shit once they have your money

They only banning sellers from giving negative.
You can still give a seller negative feedback.

If I'm selling something and got fucked about by a buyer, I'm sure as hell want other people to know about it. Too many people hold back for fear of having their precious feedback tarnished by retaliatory negative ratings.

It now seems to be the norm that the seller leaves feedback only after the buyer has left theirs.
This to me is wrong. When I sell something and the buyer has paid quickly and in full then they have fullfilled their side of the "contract". If there is then something wrong with the item then that is my fault, it should not affect they way my feedback is left.

Too many sellers now are holding the buyers to ransom, forcing the buyer to leave a positive.

If people are worried about getting retaliatory negative feedback then do exactly as I do.


If you purchase an item you have a maximum of 60 days to leave feedback for said item. if you're leaving negative feedback and know you'll probably get it back in return then..


wait until day 59, preferably on the 23rd hour, as close as you can to the end of the hour.


this way you can leave your feedback as you want, then the other seller doesn't have time to retaliate as it has past the 60day limit.

I planned to do that on a jacket I bought, (sent cheque, he didnt cash it, as I got it cheap)

But by the time 60 days came around, I totally forgot about it
