My gripe is that I pay for every auction I win within minutes of receiving an invoice. Yet only 1 out of 25 sellers will post positive feedback for me prior to receiving their own positive feedback.
If I hold up my end of the bargain, I should get the positive. The only negative I ever got was in retaliation for posting the only negative I ever posted. I had asked about a specific piece, the seller lied about it's condition, I bought it, and it was not as advertized. I contacted seller multiple times and was told to pound sand. So I reluctantly posted a negative. The same seller who waited 3 days to respond to each email posted a retaliatory negative within minutes.
Anyway, I'd like to see a turn-based feedback system for this type of scenario. But completely eliminating negative feedback for deadbeat buyers is not helping anyone.
I have had the same problem. I've purchased hundreds of items over the last ten years but only received 52 positive feedbacks. I've also been given retaliatory negative feedback despite sending payment in a timely manor. I can't even use my account because someone keeps hacking it and trying to sell tractors under my name. All of these price increases will be passed on to the consumer as usual. Buyers will have to pay more attention to auctions and be willing to pay even more for there items.
I got tiered a long time ago of paying for sellers gas money, handling, and time spent at the post office. I have sold a few Items over the years and I kept the shipping at actual cost. It still did not stop people from asking me stupid questions like how much is shipping? And then not telling me where they are from. I gave out my address in the auction so they could figure it out. Maybe thats the reason for all the shipping hikes. A lot of people out there do not have any common sense so they need to pay.
I hope some other auction sites pop up or other existing ones get more popular. The only way to hurt e-Bay is to change the flow of traffic and ultimately disrupt there profit i.e. the boycott
