that is not good... perhaps this is the result of the new president or whatever of ebay taking the new position... heard it on the news the other night. sellers definately need to be aware of poor buyers imo...

I didnt get that. Sounds like a good idea though. My 100% feedback got fucked up because I left a seller neg and he was pissed and left me neg because of it.

retaliatory feedback is a problem. Luckily it hasn't been an issue for me yet...

Ya i just read it actually, not really sure how that is supposed to work. i like the other changes they made, where there is more of an incentive to be a good seller (final value fee and insertion fee discounts) but i definantly dont like the no negs for buyers.

What if buyer wins the auction and refuses to pay? nothing? no neg feedback?

I just checked my ebay mail. And from the looks of it, feedback from 12 months ago wont matter??? Thats how I understand it. So in about 4 more months my neg will be gone?

It wont matter on your percentage, it will still show.

I would think you'd report as a non paying bidder and ebay would assess the negative maybe?

Rewards for great sellers

How are great sellers measured? Customers decide. They give sellers more stars in detailed Feedback if they are satisfied. These Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs), along with other indicators of customer satisfaction, will influence seller rewards and standards.

* Search Visibility

* PowerSeller Rewards & Standards

* Safe Payments

* Feedback Changes

* Coming Soon: Seller Dashboard

Search Visibility

Search visibility will be tied to customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is reflected in a combination of DSRs, Feedback, and fewer complaints filed of an item being "significantly not as described" (SNAD) or "item not received" (INR). In March 2008, Best Match will become the default sort in search to give more buyers the results they want and will:

* Increase exposure for sellers with DSRs 4.6 and above and at least 95% customer satisfaction in the last 30 days.

* Decrease exposure for sellers with low customer satisfaction or Shipping & Handling DSRs.

PowerSeller Rewards & Standards

We're taking steps to give new meaning to PowerSeller status on eBay. Starting July, a score of 4.5 or more on all DSRs (based on the last 12 months) will be required for membership in the PowerSeller program. We will reward PowerSellers with fee discounts and other benefits for their record of excellent customer service.

PowerSeller discounts on Final Value Fees (or Transaction Services Fees)

* DSRs of 4.6 or more (based on the last 30 days): 5% Final Value Fee discount

* DSRs of 4.8 or more (based on the last 30 days): 15% Final Value Fee discount

Expanded seller protection from PayPal beginning February 2008

* Protection for any shipping address, not just a confirmed address

* Unlimited annual coverage, not just $5,000 per year

* Global coverage, extended to 190 countries around the world

Expanded and Extended Unpaid Item (UPI) Protection Program

* Expanding to single-item fixed price listings

* Extending refund of Feature Fees permanently

Safe Payments

To help ensure more buyers are protected, in some cases we'll require sellers to offer either PayPal or a merchant credit card to customers. PayPal buyer protection covers most qualified transactions up to $2000.00 USD.

Sellers will only be required to provide this safe payment option to customers in certain situations:

* For listings in riskier categories, like computers and cell phones

* If the seller has 5% or more dissatisfied customers

* If the seller has less than 100 Feedback

In a small number of cases (fewer than 5% of all payments on eBay), PayPal will hold payment funds until either the buyer has left positive Feedback or 21 days have passed without a claim.

Feedback Changes

The eBay Feedback system was designed to provide a simple, honest, accurate record of member experiences. Focusing on customer service includes doing everything we can to grow customer confidence in our sellers.

* Buyers will only be able to receive positive Feedback.

* Positive repeat customer Feedback will count (up to 1 Feedback from the same buyer per week.)

* Feedback more than 12-months old won't count towards your Feedback percentage.

* When a buyer doesn't respond to the Unpaid Item (UPI) process the negative or neutral Feedback they have left for that transaction will be removed.

* When a member is suspended, all their negative and neutral Feedback will be removed.

* Buyers must wait 3 days before leaving negative or neutral Feedback for sellers with an established track record, to encourage communication.

* All Feedback must be left within 60 days (compared to 90 days today) of listing end to encourage timely Feedback and discourage abuse.

* Buyers will be held more accountable when sellers report an unpaid item or commit other policy violations.

Coming Soon: Seller Dashboard

See how you're doing, at-a-glance! Changes in Feedback and measures tied to Detailed Seller Ratings (DSRs) and the percentage of satisfied customers will help sellers understand and manage their role in serving and growing their customer base. We want to help sellers know where they stand. Soon, we'll be making available a personalized tool to help you understand your:

* PowerSeller status

* Billing status

* Discount qualification

* Search standing

* Policy violations and potential risk of restriction

* Buyer satisfaction (comprised of a combination of: DSRs, Feedback, INR and SNAD complaints)

Yeah I figured that out. So in 4 months my neg will still be there, but I will be back up to my 100% feedback percentage.
