Location: Upper Left USA | When I logged on to Ebay this morning I had a Feedback rating of 274.
Now I have a rating of 309 with a lifetime of 342 total. I have only received one feedback today. Should I really be nice to this person or is something up with Fleabay? |

Location: Florida Central Gulf Coast | Well my count went up by about 10. But that also brought back my FB rating to 100%. Three years ago I had a retaliatory neg due to an azzhat selling an item he didn't have.
As said, let's wait and see about FB... |

Location: SoCal | eBay says:
The Positive Feedback percentage is calculated based on the number of positive, negative and neutral ratings (including weekly Repeat Feedback) received in the last 12 months as follows:
Looks to me to be the "weekly Repeat Feedback".
Prior, I don't believe it would have recorded the three feedbacks I got from one seller (Temp)from the same day transactions, now it does. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | At least as a seller we still get to comment on any Negative feedback left, which really sticks out if someone is looking at someones feed back.
As always.. time will tell... I wish they would fix the stuff thats broke BEFORE adding new "features", but that's just me. |

There has to be a negative feature, otherwise it will be totally useless, like the school system. |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Google "Marketplace Morning Report", scroll down 'til you see the ebay logo and click on that story. Doesn't make much sense to me either. It's sort of like the way my generation told our kids they need "self esteem", but forgot to tell them that they have to EARN it. |

Location: NW Washington State | Mine went from 700 to 735. But my positive feedback went from 100% (since 1998) to 98.5% (for the last year). A nitwit left me neutral feedback last year and now I'm down to 98.5%, even though I've never had a neg. Annoying to say the least.
I was going to open another account to save my old one for selling a few special items, but since my feedback percentage is no longer 100% I suppose it doesn't matter.

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | 77 to 93... Just within the last few minutes! Oooo :eek:
But I've only got 68 for the past year... :confused:
So I'm confused... I'm surprised that they didn't ding me for emailing the CEO and telling him (her?) that I thought the new policy sucketh... But they probably don't read email from normal folks.
(no power-seller, store page, none of that)
PS-- Oh... There ARE negatives, but you can only get them for selling stuff. So you can be are real anus while you are buying. But you gotta be vewwy vewwy caahful when selling. :rolleyes: |

As I said earlier, I, as a buyer, left a neg for a seller and got one in return. At least as of yesterday it's gone. |

Just ain't like it was way back when !!!!!! Ok, I jumped off my soap box May I use your  ? BINGO!!!!! I refuse to leave feedback as a buyer until the seller admits that I paid promptly (usually PayPal when accepted by seller) via positive FB. I have way over 700 transactions on eB and only ~200 FBs. I will leave FB regrdless if I 'know' the seller. Otherwise, ferget (sic) it!!!
I spent a week cussing and discussing the issue with a seller that wanted to know why I hadn't left FB. Even though I told him I was very satisfied with his item, it was a matter of my principles. So it was a 'Mexican standoff'... |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I used to leave FB as soon as someone paid...
But then I started leaving feedback after I found out that they had the item, that it had arrived safely, and they were satisfied.
Even then, buyers have not always reciprocated.
I'd like another Positive FB point, But...
I don't need your steenking feedback... As long as I got your (MY) Money!  |
