Taking it to the media will give ebay sellers a bad name, especially those who support other sellers who've done the wrong thing.

Basically, a petition to do away with the defect system is saying that sellers think they shouldn't have to be responsible for their actions - not a good advertisement for the site.

 

It gives ebay a bad name and definately wouldn't be good especially with the big sundays and all.

 

I couldn't care less if a seller got banned for doing the wrong thing. I just don't think a one week delay is that big of a deal especially when I have had to send two seperate orders out one week apart to customers (because they didn't get the first one) and they have arrived at the same time. 

The defect system is flawed going by everything I have read and experienced with it. My defects are down lower but just the other day someone opened an item not received case after 4 days (thats with a one day handling time listing). It turns out the item arrived the next day, case closed, defect.
