What's goin On @ Ebay
Finally , after hashing out the hash and smoking whats left , here's the skinny on Ebay. Ass you know , sellers are up in pissy off'd land , because the 'bay won't allow negative feedback on the buyer. Ebay made this change , because sellers were using feedback ass a communication outlet to warn other sellers about a problem buyer , instead of stating how the transaction went. maggios and jcmtin are 2 examples of this practice.
The fact is , ebay did this because the number of complaints , from buyers reporting un-reputable sellers is at an all time high and climbing. So , in an effort to get some kind of honesty in selling , ebay took negative feedback away from sellers.
This is'nt working because the seller can still leave negative remarks , while the buyer gets a positive check mark. Meanwhile , what everyone has over looked , is the weapon of positive kill. A seller can claim the buyer did not pay for the item. YES , I'm telling it like it is. A seller can dislike a buyer , and watch their buying activities and email other sellers to strike that buyer with an unpaid hit. Remember , 3 strikes , you're OUT !
The seller can have cash in hand and still report the buyer ass not paying. OR , how 'bout this one , a seller can ignore email from a buyer and / or a seller can opt to not sell the item while not communicating with the buyer and still hit the buyer for not paying. HEY , would you send money to a seller , who was not answering their email ? This is one HUGH reason Ebay has become an insane place to do buisness.
So , buyer beware. Now do you understand why I have a un-reputable seller listing on this blog ?
