Has anyone left feedback lately and been ask to take the short survey? I took the survey but took the route as if I had gotten bad or undeserved/unfair feedback. They questionnaire was asking questions like "Would you like eBay to automatically leave positive feedback to quick paying buyers"
They are now toying with the idea of automatically applying positive feedback to a buyer that pays for a transaction quickly. This would leave sellers out of the equation and unable to respond to (say: a NEG from a newbie for not getting a rapid response to an eMail sent to the buyer on a Saturday night) . We all know that newbies are quick to respond with a NEG for just about any reason.
eBay is about to revoke our right, as a seller to leave "appropriate" feedback for a given transaction. Or NOT leave a feedback for a transaction.
This will give the buyers a free NEG snipper shot at buyers.
Feedback is supposed to be an option.
To see this go to the following link:
eBay Survey
-Pretend you are the buyer
-(select) "I did not leave detailed seller ratings."
*Next page*
-(select) "I have received both retaliatory and unfair negatives/neutrals from my trading partner"
*Next Page*
-(select) "I do not leave Feedback as often."
*Next Page*
-(select) "Very important"
*ON the Next Page you have these options*
-"I want sellers to leave me Feedback rating and comments as they do today."
-"When I have quickly paid for my item, sellers can only leave me positive Feedback."
-"When I have quickly paid for my items, eBay will automatically leave me positive Feedback."
============================================
What do you think the reasoning is for this survey? To remove the sellers option to leave NEGs for a buyer just because they paid for a transaction? Thats what appears to be in the minds them from the looks of this survey.
As sellers I say we BAND TOGETHER. Please follow up with ideas. Please spread the link above as it will be changed on eBay soon due to someone posting it in the eBay forums. They were kicked from all the eBay forums for this posting.
