Buyers need to own up and acknowledge that if they failed to leave honest feedback for a seller out of fear of retaliatory they in fact fed and created that monster and allowed it to thrive.
Irony- If eBay had kept their word and removed these bad sellers & buyers like they were suppose to we wouldn't be in the situation we are now, it was eBay who allowed them to get away with what they were doing these bad sellers and buyers were easy to spot by the vast amount of negative, neutral and withdrawn feedbacks they had.
With these new changes now no one knows who they are and many good honest buyers and sellers are suffering because of it.
Scott, It is good to see someone covering the hostile environment the sellers have been forced to endure with the new feedback changes.
It would have been even better had you went on to explain how eBay/PayPal has tied this into the (deceived) DSR rating system, Best Match etc. all to purposely lower a sellers performance so that eBay does not have to give the promised discounts (to Power Sellers only) as well as force PayPal 21 day holds on our payments (PayPal/eBay draw interest on) leaving sellers hanging high and dry.
Further you could have included all the SNAD & INR claims where buyers are refunded by PayPal and how many of those are buyer scams to get their money back and obtain the item for free and all PayPal tells sellers is it is not their problem for us to contact the police... What service are sellers purchasing if not security and protection???
Or how this new system blows small sellers out of existence, the same small sellers who built eBay into the corporation it is with their rare, hard to find, unique one of a kind items that brought in collectors from around the world.
The fraud, scams and fakes are of eBay's own doing, they allowed it for years by sweeping the reports under the rug so they could continue to collect and grow their bank accounts.
There is just so very much more to all of this feedback is barely scratching the surface of the many problems going on inside of eBay and PayPal...
Please do come and read the community discussion boards as suggested above by others especially the feedback and seller central discussion boards also make sure to check the back pages where eBay has locked many of our threads to hide them and try to silence us.
