It opens the door to some posters abusing what was well intended.
How would one differentiate between a genuine post and a competitor downing their rival.
Or perhaps a revengeful tirade against a member that simply followed procedure.
I don't know if names on another list would help anyone that has honed their skills in selecting a seller. Perhaps it would help newbies and buyers that purchase once or twice, but how would they know to check the list?
The examples of similar may have been more necessary in earlier days of internet trading. However, with the feedback and strikes system, a shame list doesn't appear as important.
But you posting on this topic once again as many others have, reiterates the need for ebay to include some further means to retain credibility to a potentially very safe means of online trading.
I have often thought the implementation of automatically putting blocks in place for all members will eliminate many problem buyers. Secondly faster policing actions on reports by members to ebay will reduce problem sellers. These two factors alone should improve the experience on ebay and I wouldn't be surprised if ebay finally realize the necessity to do so in the near future.
