eBay sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers!

[Gutsman Heavy]

beware dodgy sellers!

but what about dodgy buyers?

It's always been a lot easier for sellers to get buyers banned from ebay, for things like not paying, but at least now buyers have some power over the sellers (who had been dictating terms with feedback for a long time now). If sellers are prevented from leaving retaliatory feedback, you will indeed see a lot more legitimate negative feedback given to sellers who other people should avoid. Or at least, it will make sellers put more effort into their transactions, making them more reliable to us as buyers.
There will always be some dodgy buyers, but there are more dodgy sellers because there is more to gain from being a dodgy seller. And sellers probably still have some avenue available to them to report dodgy buyers.

It appears Dirge is correct. My feedback is now over 200. It must be counting all my transactions though I do know there's been more than that. Just not everyone has left feedback. The other noticeable change is now feedback percentage is calculated as of the last 12 months which is pretty good imo.

Perhaps it's not the number of items but the number of transactions? I've bought several items from one seller with a single payment - 1 feedback. If I buy something else later - 1 feedback?

Isn't that what it's always been?

STL, same question to you. Your rating is 204, but you have received 302 feedback? I'm not sure how you guys are assessing this...

[STL]

Nope, I have no idea. I only see 204, 98.6% and 3 figures for the past twelve months. 4, 55 and 86 positive feedbacks. I can't find the 302 feedback anywhere. I have no idea how those monkeys are doing this.

If you click the number by your username to list feedbacks, right above the actual list of feedbacks, you'll see:

302 Feedback received (viewing 1-25)

Monkeys indeed

EDIT: I'm pretty close to being done with eBay (but unfortunately not PayPal). I have very little intention of collecting older figures any more with the current status of the Encore line. eBay is SCREAMING for a competitor.
