E-bay just changed their policy to where a seller can no longer leave a neg or neutral rating for any buyer. This was done to allows buyers to beat up on sellers that suck without fear of getting slammed back.

Not sure I love it, being a seller and a buyer, curious to see how that plays out...

ohh man, thats great yeah i always thought that the seller shoudl be required to leave feedback first since we complete our part of th deal WHEN we pay, theirs isnt complete till we recive our item thats how i think it should be

Or to stop Power Sellers from holding buyers hostage with retaliatory negative feedback.

And before any smart comments , I am a Power Seller, so I can see both sides of the issue. Sellers who offer a good product and fast shipping and good communication have nothing to worry about. Yes they will still get an idiot buyer now and then who leaves a stupid negative, but that used to happen a lot anyway.

yeah ive got a perfect record as a buyer since 04 an i feel like i shouldnt leave feedback if i paid with paypal the second the auction ended, i know i did my part right just more tends to go wrong on the seller end, more transactions ect ect

I never get feedback from buyers if I leave feedback first. It would be better if positive feedback was held until both did it. Well, that's my rant for the day.

Not really fair on some sellers.

No matter what you do, it is very difficult to please some customer. Now that the changes had taken place, some buyers are now taking advantage of it. "GIVE ME FREEBIES OR ILL NEG YOU." Some buyers love giving out neg without even contacting the seller first. To them if the seller send a broken item, wrong part, or whatever they immediately assume the seller is out there to scam and so give a neg without giving the seller a chance to resolve the problems.

In ebay sellers future relies heavily on the rating. Get bad DSR you get no discount, get negs or neutrals you can get kicked out. The other thing the non performance is based on 30 days now, get below 95% and you are out. If you dont sell alot per month, it only take one undeserve NEG and you be banned.

Its very easy to get rid of the competition too, get enough account and NEG the seller. I have seen this happend in the UK site already.

If either of these happen you can contact Ebay and they'll remove the negative.

It's on the page where you leave feedback for the buyer now. You can click the "Report a problem you had with this transaction." link and it takes you to this page :
