many on these boards call me sir sales because the “l” in “slr” can look like an “i”.  I still remember the first time a poster referred to me as sir sales.  I pointed out it was slr but the name stuck.  One member once almost insisted I change my ID because using “sir” in my name was not appropriate.

As I once pointed out to a paint seller, in life we rarely get the chance to give ourselves a nickname as others decide our nicknames.  Another thing I pointed out to the painted one was that on these boards an ID is often shortened to the first 5 characters of the ID . . . i.e. 4chan

Depends on the person, sir sales.

I call Kat, Kat, not Katis, and I never seen stawks referred to as 'imast'.

I know, but it fit with me calling that member joeth . . . . coincidentally, another member who used to insist that members use their ‘real ID’

[lyndal1838]

A nickname needs to make sense........how much sense does imast or katis make?

Leave a comment within the time frame even if the item has not arrived and then use the Followup function to leave an additional comment when the item does arrive.

Simple really.

Well, given the fact that some items from overseas are taking between 5 weeks to 9 etc., and with 9 the FB time has run out, what kind of comment do you suggest be left?

Positive: Item hasn't arrived yet but I'll follow up when it does

Neutral: Item hasn't arrived yet but I'll follow up when it does

What happens if the seller turns out to be a rip-off artist or one of these sellers who refuses to take responsibility for their actions and the whole experience becomes a distasteful one? Can the buyer then change it to a Negative to warn fellow eBayers that this is not a good seller?

3 months to leave feedback is a sensible suggestion. It should be restored to 3 months.

Feedback time too short for buyers

I've never left negative or neutral feedback in all the time I've used Ebay.  

I have a few items refunded, but I think that has only been a total of 2 times in 15 years of using ebay.

Currently, I'm assuming because of Covid, packages are taking longer than in my past experience to arrive from China, and this is reflected in the "expected delivery window".

I purchased 3 items on 16th Oct, and the expected delivery windows extend to 17th Dec and 30th Dec.

The 60 day limit on feedback is unfair for both the buyer and seller.  I've noticed quite a lot of negative and neutral feedback for these sellers being "Item not received".  It's not fair for the seller, as, given the current circumstances around Covid, the package legitimately might not arrive within the feedback window.  If the package doesn't arrive within the feedback window, the chances of the seller getting a positive rating for the transaction are close to zero, while the chance of a negative or neutral rating are greatly increased because the buyer can only leave feedback prior to receiving the item.

It's not fair to the buyer either, as if the product doesn't arrive before the feedback cutoff, the buyer doesn't really get the choice to offer fair fairback.  The buyer either, unfairly, rates the seller based on not receiving the product, or alternatively, doesn't get to leave a rating. Being able to rate a seller is what gives me confidence in buying from ebay.

It also diminishes the trust and reputation of Ebay by supporting scammers and penalising honest sellers.  I googled "speedpak" after all three of my purchases being stalled for over 10 days after clearing Australian customs.  It seems a number of sellers are scamming they system, and buyers not being able to leave feedback after 60 days enables the scammers.

I think 90 days would be a fair thing.

Some buyers won't bother even if you give them a year but for others, it would give a bit more leeway when items runa  bit late, which can happen at the moment.

Yes, can happen at the moment, actually is happening and will continue to happen.
