The Latest: eBay now encourages buyers to leave a negative...

[imjustme]

When you, as a buyer, go to leave feedback for a seller, eBay will show this message:

Buyers, you can no longer receive negative or neutral Feedback from sellers.

You should leave honest and accurate Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings.

Awesome, isn't it? They're making sure every last buyer knows they can neg a seller and not get punished for it. Who's stopping the 15 year old kid who leaves a negative for me with his right hand while his left hand is in his pants?

I can't agree with that scenario.... i'm left handed...and would struggle immensely to keep me mouse still over the neg button..

We will all just have to get used to seeing our listings with 98% feedback. Unless we all provide an absolutely stunning service (like myself :D)

Next thing they're going to introduce will be an automated suspension for any account that drops below 99.9%. Excluding buyers of course, since they can't get negatives anymore.

[mantisinc]

No, my bet is the next thing they're going to do really is to suspend all sellers by 2009...

yeah that one was pretty believable haha

Why fix something that wasn't broken in the first place?

The feedback system before wasn't perfect... but it made more sense then this garbage. Bah!
