eBay sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers!

[iceburn]

Yeah - I've noticed a real "improvement" in the standard of Sellers' attitudes!

I've dealt with 3 or 4 in the past fortnight, and they've all been very helpful. They've actually replied to emails, posted quickly, and here's the BIGGIE... they've all left feedback first!

in contrast, i havent. my sellers haven't replied me..but well, patient and waiting now

I was chatting with a friend the other day about some eBay policies and we were taking about how before this rule came in, you'd have to try and wait until the 89th day to leave negative feedback so the other party wouldn't have time to retaliate, and he gave this concept a great name....

ok guys...updates:

i won my battle with ebay...i've got my negative feedback removed...back to 100% :P

As you may be aware, a number of changes were scheduled to come into effect on eBay.com.au on 17 June 2008.
Most of these changes have been delayed by almost one month and are now scheduled to commence on 15 July 2008 ...... The decision to delay these changes was made by eBay following the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) draft notice issued on Thursday 12 June 2008.
eBay released a media statement on Friday 13 June regarding the ACCC's draft notice.

we still have a foot in the door

Yeah I had to laugh at that.

E-Bay's just another victim of that mean overbearing ACCC. They never let businesses have a good go!

Suck it E-Bay.

I wonder how many users really let their heartstrings be tugged by this.

This email was funnier than the one I received last week about how to take care of babies. Which was priceless!

Hmm... I should send that to Soundwarp!

The irony of this change is that as I was about to leave my first -ve feedback, I stopped myself. I went back and e-mailed the seller giving courtesy notice of my decision and why I'm doing so. Am I just being too nice? He's trying to talk me out of it now saying that the item was in near perfect condition.

The fact was that even if it was when it got to me packaged in an A3 letter inside an Express satchet, it had scuffs and dents all over it. And considering what I bought was a BT-08 Zoom Zoom, I think my anger's warranted. The toy isn't exactly the random toy that was available at retail. You had to be a collector of some sort to get it and you'd know its worth (which he did given the price he was offering it at)

[jaydisc]

Was the toy scuffed or its packaging?

[iceburn]

well i nearly did it to another seller as well but the answers she gave me was good enough that didn't warrant the negative feedback. i didnt give any in the end.
i checked a week back later and she had received 1 neutral and 1 negative.

hence, should i give her the actual feedback she deserve???
