Did it occur to anyone that the people who leave negatives and get negatives aren't complaining. You know why? Because they don't care. They live with negative feedback, low feedback percentages and poor star ratings and none of these ideas eBay has come up with to remedy this problem is going to matter to them. They will go right on giving poor service and not caring.

Don't get me wrong, I am certainly not talking about the sellers who do the best they can and still get an occasional negative. But there are sellers on eBay with terrible feedback and literally 1000s of negatives who just keep on selling and don't try to improve their poor business habits at all.

You know who does care? The same ones of us who have always cared. And we are the ones who will get hurt, while the worst sellers with poorest feedback and lowest star ratings will just go right on doing exactly what they did before and not caring one bit more than they did before.
