Why can't I leave feedback on an item that is more than 90 days old? All I am able to see are recent

You only have 60days to leave feedback.

Thanks. But what if the product fails after 60 days???  And getting any sort of satisfactory response is difficult - would l;ike to leave some feedback/warning on eBay to warn future purchasers!!

You can't.

Anecdotally, the vast majority of buyers don't look at feedback pre-purchase (or at all) anyway, so any warning is likely to be less than effective.

If the product fails, and it is new, and it is from an Australian business, and it is warranted, contact the seller re making good.

If you have left feedback within the 60 day timeframe you can add to it at a later date in the form of followup feedback.

However that is not much use.....once feedback is off the 1st page it is rarely looked at by potential buyers.

They may look at feedback still on the first page if they look at any feedback but after that, very few buyers look at anything but the neutrals and negatives.

Also, if an item fails after 60 days it is usually a manufacturing problem rather than a seller's problem.  If it is an Australian registered seller you should have protection through consumer affairs if the seller cannot be contacted through ebay.
