EBAY'S NEW FEEDBACK SYSTEM IS A JOKE

Hello Everyone:

I have been on ebay for a while, and I have seen a lot of changes, some for the better, and some for the worse.

Someone with too much time on their hands on ebay came up with the crappiest idea to date,

THE NEW FEEDBACK SYSTEM

Buyers can leave a negative or a neutral, but the seller cannot do jack.

Ebay thinks this is a great way to attract buyers,

WHO'S STUPID IDEA WAS THIS?????

if ebay wants to attract buyers, offer better rewards to the buyers,

offer points based on how often you use pay pal for purchases,

bring more sellers to ebay by lowering the ebay fee's,

if you have more sellers offering more items, more buyers will bid in the auctions,

lower the pay pal fee's for buyers and sellers, ebay is double dipping and it costs both the buyers and sellers,

I always cut off the pay pal logo on the postal labels, Pay Pal doesn't pay me for their advertising,

if they are going to advertise on my package, shouldn't I be able to get a percentage of that advertising?, think about it.

Ebay is going to start losing more sellers soon thanks to all of these idiot ideas they keep coming up with.

I think all of the people who are running ebay should be fired, and hire someone who knows how to run things,

ebay's founder didn't do all this crap to the sellers on ebay.

I realize Bill Cobb and Meg Whitman like their private jets and yachts, but this is ridiculous.

I will more than likely be leaving ebay soon, I hope a new auction site online opens up, someone like Google or Microsoft, you know someone who will give ebay a real run for their money.

UPDATE

Recently I have found out how much of a pain in the rear the new feedback system is,

I had a dishonest non-paying bidder leave negative feedback,

when I contact ebay in regards to it, I basically got an automated message stating more or less they cannot do anything because they do not see anything wrong.

OK, how can it be alright for someone to not pay for an auction and leave the seller a negative?.

I went over ebay's head and filed a complaint with the better business bureau, and guess what I won, the feedback was removed.

my point is this, ebay should redo a lot of their new stupid rules, and actually hire people who know what the word "SERVICE" actually means.
