Ebay - buyers no longer get feedback?
ChadTower:
I wonder if this will open the gates to a flood of buyer scams. Now you can't leave negative feedback to a buyer who rips you off by doing a paypal chargeback.
ChadTower:
Really, it wasn't the system that was broken before. It was the people using it. This won't fix the problem, it was just stabilize it until the loopholes are found by the userbase.
I remember when Ebay first opened up and you didn't even have to have a transaction to leave feedback. Everyone was trading feedback at random to boost their ratings.
Hemi:
This is much better, now the actual feedback we see on these sellers might actually mean something instead of two idiots trading good or bad feedback for nothing. As it was before, when you bought something you almost had to buy good feedback by leaving good feedback even if you were not happy with the transaction. The way it was, the feedback system was a joke and pointless.
SavannahLion:
Looking at completed auctions still works?
Completed auctions lost a lot of usefulness about four or five years ago. They chopped so much ---Cleveland steamer--- out of it that it made it impossible to scan completed auctions to get an idea of how the market was going. The best use out of completed auctions was to get an idea on just how rare something really was. How may times has a seller attached. RARE to an auction when the same item was sold in forty prior auctions?
Oh well. I guess I'll look at it today and see how useful it still is (or isn't). :dunno
WunderCade:
I think this new system puts the seller in the hot seat....and now good customer service becomes essential in the feedback process - as it should be.
"The customer is always right." concept of sales had all but died out, hopefully this brings it back a bit....at least to eBay.
