If as a buyer I used the logic that some sellers use ... I would not part with my money (buy).

there are good and bad sellers and buyers and both/either can and do overcome any restrictions that may be applied if they are so inclined.

Why?

As somebody who has been a seller since long before the time when sellers couldn't leave negs, nor block bidders with unpaid item strikes, I have no desire to see it go back to how it was back then.

I am not going to re hash all the reasons again for the millionth time but just hope ebay leave it as it is now.

I don't want to see the return of negative feedback for buyers, but I would like to see some development to the current feedback system, including the number of unpaid strikes a buyer has displayed on their feedback page and the number of disputes a buyer has opened and the number of claims a seller has lost.

You have revived one of the most well worn and boring topics.

Did you give the lady combined postage as you clearly state in your listings ?

And if you didn't,why does she deserve negative feedback ?

You might want to revise this part of your listing

Please note that standard postage is buyers risk. No refund given if lost in transit.

I think you'll find PayPal siding with the buyer if it does get lost in transit and they open a dispute. It's up to you, the seller to send things registered, or at the very least Click and Send

I don't think sellers should be able to give neg feedback but I do think a strike should create an automatic neg that all sellers can see!

Sorry for the further advertising but if someone does not like it then so be it.

Maybe not, but it is up to the seller to make sure that the item is sent using a safe postage message to avoid a dispute. If it was sent regular and goes missing the seller might as well refund because the buyer will win an INR dispute.

If the item is worth more than you can afford to lose, then you should send registered..

If it does go missing, you can't just say "Sorry, not my fault, you should have chosen Registered post" A seller recently said that to me (minus the reg post bit) and due to his behavior throughout the whole transaction was rewarded with 2 pretty red dots ;\

why bother with negs for buyers, the buyers who are scammers will just change their M.O and create new accounts to scam and annoy buyers.

well changing the modus operandi and their account... takes time...and time is money

and .. if it's good for the goose it is also good for the gander.

Why allow the scammers to continue with 100% feedback charade ????

when ebay advertise feedback to new sellers from their help section as...and I quote

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/feedback/questions/feedback.html

Feedback is made up of comments and ratings left by other eBay members you've bought from and sold to. These comments and ratings are valuable indicators of your reputation as a buyer or seller on eBay.

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/feedback/howitworks.html

Why leave Feedback? Leaving honest comments gives members a good idea of what to expect when dealing with other members.

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/inappropriate-feedback-comments.html

We want Feedback to be an open and honest way for members to share their experiences with other members. This helps buyers and sellers decide whom they want to do business with.

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/feedback-manipulation.html

Just like the real world, you earn a reputation based on your actions and how well you treat others. The eBay Feedback system works pretty much the same way. We want to keep it honest and fair for all members, and our rules help us do that.

http://pages.ebay.com.au/help/policies/feedback-terms.html

Feedback is the foundation of trust on eBay. Having terms and conditions that dissuade an individual from leaving feedback undermines the integrity of the feedback system and decreases trust within the eBay marketplace.

Gee that feedback is a great thing isn't it???... blardy better than sliced bread 😐

well at least it was once 😐

So on top of that can anybody not see why sellers especially the new ones, or even those experienced sellers that have been on ebay since Jesus played fullback for Jeruselum and have not ever had to nor contemplated leaving a negative for a buyer.

Who then come in here to find out why they cannot leave honest comments re the trade that occurred if they are the seller and those comments perception are negative???

I would feel well and truly rogered myself if I was implored by ebay to do one thing ie leave honest comments re the sale and then was not allowed to because they were negative

and this one...this one sticks in my craw the most of all because the only party I can see that has terms and conditions that dissuade an individual from leaving feedback is ebay and that term and condition is that sellers cannot leave a postive rating with a negative commen

t...... which appears to me to... and I quote

"undermine the integrity of the feedback system and decreases trust within the eBay marketplace."
