Laurie i totally agree with you
Hi Laurie and I loved your aticle and totally agree with you, it is a joke. i too get on the powerseller forum and we all hate this policy. ALL buyers have postive feedback,s so why have it at all for buyers. The % of non pay bidders has more then tripled, and why not, this one lady bought 180 items in a month, never paid for 1, took a month for Ebay to suspend her. We hav eno way of knowing if a buyer pays now because we can not leav efeedback, if they are dishonest, do chargebacks, 1 has done chargebacks on every item, but I sold to her becuase she had no feedback implying such. Not to mention we have to do whatever they want , and the worst is we can not file non pay bidder violation, as then they leave us negative. Between that and worrying about getting suspended every day, ending an authentic, listing, etc., I am really looking for some where else to go, their customer support is a total joke. Do you know anything about that Ecrate, has anyone had much luclk on it, thought I may try it, can't be any worse then Ebay. I thought someone said we could transfer our Ebay feedback to that site, that would be great. Well, thanks for listening, have a great weekend,
Vicki

Hi, I'm Laurie Borden and RepXchange is a service I've had developed to help improve the lives and profitability of fellow eBay sellers. To be fair, I'm more of an ex-power seller than a currently active seller but when eBay publicly announced changes to their seller policies, I wanted to get involved. When I was selling on eBay, dealing with the occasional bad or fraudulent bidder just took too much time away servicing all the other great bidders, and the overall profitability suffered. I believe most sellers can relate to that in their own businesses. Overall the eBay selling experience was a positive one, but when I heard about the latest change in eBay policies - to disallow sellers from leaving negative feedback on buyers - I was a little taken aback. The new rules seem completely contrary to fair trade on eBay and the mutual transparency that both buyers and sellers had enjoyed. So this was the beginning of RepXchange.
For the most part, buyers on eBay are fantastic and certainly the lifeblood of sellers, but for those few that ruin it for the rest, well, it's only fair that sellers know who they are so that they can continue to offer the best pricing and services to those who deserve it.
If you have any suggestions, please do not hesitate to let me know. I'll do my best to make changes that accommodate your selling needs.[/QUOTE]
