Re: Sellers No Longer Able to Leave Neutral or Negative on Ebay

Ellen, I do agree, but, and it is a big BUT, at the end of day it's EBay's playground and they make the rules. As I may have mentioned before, after the last lot of changes (about which I really wasn't happy) we doubled our income, so this time round I'm 'happier' to see what results it brings.
Trouble is, as I said before, leaving feedback does not warn a seller other than you trying to cancel bids - most business sellers on eBay use Buy Nows, and you cannot stop a buyer with bad feedback (unless they are in the minus) from buying.
Today's example: Buyer buys item off me on 25th Jan at 23:33PM. I send the next morning (Saturday) First Class Recorded. Today the postie rings the bell and I am signing for the return of the package. She hasn't bothered to collect it, even though delivery was attempted on 28th. Today I know that she can't threaten me with a neg cos she knows what I will do back - and I'm sure you will agree with VERY good reason.
But when the changes happen?? Who knows.
Personally I have traded for a long time on eBay with no negs (touch wood) to date. Even a Neutral I had two years ago was withdrawn.
When the first one comes, it will be hard to take, but I will be looking for other actions to carry out. Nothing sinister, but blocking will be one, reporting them another.
For the other auction sites - nice link.
However, eBid is practically dead. No response off there for almost 12 months. TazBar we do get the odd sale but we have a 1 in 2 unpaid rate on it as well. Amazon was nice, but I got told off for selling a similar item rather than the same item. Basically if Amazon don't list it, you can't sell it.
Most eBayers chomp on about their own website and for a few quid a year you can bring in a return, but you have to get traffic to it.
