eBay sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers!

[STL]

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.

jays right, but you only get one feedback point per new member you deal with, hence the discrepency.

also if you click the feedback left for others tab, you can see how many feedbacks you have left, and you then will know how many feedback comments less you have received over given

Well I managed to gain an extra 30 or 40, so there is something different with the calculation.

Monkeys indeed

I see it now. I've tried to browse through help but I really don't know how the hell they're doing this. Maybe we should feed 'em bananas.

why's that? I thought these changes were pretty good. Or is it that bad transaction w/ Stockade?

[jaydisc]

Well, I've applied a few rules due to recent events:

1. If an item is expected to ever be at Australian retail, WAIT and ONLY buy it there.

Between sales, scams and who knows what else, as long as you're patient, AU retail will most likely be the cheapest option. Hasbro Australia's complete lack of inventory management skills supports this. And, with the exception of recent return policy changes, having a receipt you can return an item with, has a lot of value.

This rule will stop me from using eBay for cheap deals like the $19 per figure we paid for the Walmart Exclusives or the $38 each I paid for 1st Strike and Evac. With patience, I could get those figures now or soon at $20 and $35 respectively. It just means I will get things later, but patience is another virtue I'm working on.

2. With the recent announcement of Metroplex and the potential of Henkei Seekers, I'm holding off on all vintage purchases.

Now, admittedly, I'm not much of a vintage collector. I've already gotten most of the G1 TFs I specifically want, and much prefer the playability of the current generations of toys... all three: Movie, Animated and Classics. I love them all!

So, that being said, I just can't justify spending close to $400 just to give me Fort Max a head and that head a head too (boy that's a lot of head ) when Takara might deliver me a full minty version of Max with all his bits for under half that price.

On top of those two reasons, my recent PayPal dispute (aka eBay when you think about it) left a bad taste in my mouth and eBay's recent unwelcome policy changes (e.g. hiding bidders nicks, only accepting paypal or COD) show a severe arrogance and lack of care for their customers' opinions, and as a rude Yank, I have a real hard time with that, and I will respond in the only language they and I understand... my wallet. They're SCREAMING for some decent competition.

All that being said, I agree that these changes are good, but I've never been bitten by a bad buyer. I'll tell you what though, any future listings of mine will have minimum feedback requirements... I'm thinking at least 5 or possibly even 10 to make sure I stay that way.
