It seems the US members weren't interested in it back in 2018 either.

You're doing it again, padi.

You should realise by now that injecting facts or logic will be disregarded.

Start an online petition then.

See how much traction it gets, and whether you can bring the issue to ebay's attention - it has the added benefit of not needing anyone to post here to voice their support for it and risk.... a reply post? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You seem to have a lot of issues you don't have time to address.

You claim to be a proxy for other members. 75 million? That's what would be the tipping point.

You claim a toxic culture, I claim answering actual questions. Something you seem to be reluctant to do.

I freaking love that show! It's on around 3pm and is repeated around 12.30am. So mesmorising, I stay up stupidly late just to watch it. I don't know what it is, but I can't stop watching it. Stupid UK game shows.

[davewil1964]

Me too. I watch it at 3, though.

My "must-watch" UK game shows are more along the lines of "Would I Lie To You?" and "QI" and "Mock the Week".

In particular, there's much fun to be had in WILTY trying to spot any "tell" when one of the panelists lies.

I know I've posted before about my views on feedback. Nowadays I don't really want to be bothered with leaving it. I buy to receive the item, not in order to give or receive a button of approval and a generic comment. I know that feedback is important to new sellers in particular, though... and having started with giving feedback, I feel the urge to be consistent and continue with giving it.

I tend not to buy from sellers whose items would take longer than 60 days to arrive. If I did buy from such a seller, feedback would be the last issue on my mind. My primary concern would be that the item actually get to me, in the promised condition. I would not feel an aching sense of rudeness towards the seller if I were unable to leave feedback due to eBay technical limitations.

Of course, everyone will have their own perspective. From my perspective, I don't need longer timeframes for giving feedback.

Hmmm the same bunch of posters with the same old same old when it comes to improving issues for buyers.

The Square ?

Yes. with vintage HI-Fi, you have to run the amp or whatever for a couple of weeks as that's when problems can crop up.  It makkes it near impossible to resolve an issue with an overseas seller when you encounter a problem. Restoration to 90 days TTLFB is a good idea.
