Joined: December 2003 Posts: 13997 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? | ||

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. | ||

Too many people complained that they were unfairly targeted, so now we have no way of knowing if the people we do business with are trustworthy. | ||

As always.. time will tell... I wish they would fix the stuff thats broke BEFORE adding new "features", but that's just me. | ||

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. | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 1132 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. -Steve W. | ||

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: | ||

There ARE negatives, but you can only get them for selling stuff. 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 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'... | ||

Joined: September 2006 Posts: 10777 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! ![]() | ||
