However since you ask (and since eBay are NEVER wrong ;-) ) New account, sells one item, gets a neg.... score is -1 and if they try to they buy from you you can block them :grin: PMSL Nigel, hadn’t spotted that one.

New account, sells one item, gets a neg…. score is -1 and if they try to they buy from you you can block them :grin:

In one place eBay says: “Sellers will no longer be able to leave negative or neutral Feedback for buyers.” In another place eBay says: "...Will sellers still have access to Buyer Requirements to manage their buyers? Yes. The Buyer requirements tool enables sellers to prevent or limit the buyers from bidding or buying their items if ……buyer has a negative FB score..." How exactly will a buyer ever again have a negative FB score, if seller can't give them one? On feedback changes, did nobody at eBay read their announcement?

In one place eBay says:

“Sellers will no longer be able to leave negative or neutral Feedback for buyers.”

In another place eBay says:
“…Will sellers still have access to Buyer Requirements to manage their buyers?

Yes. The Buyer requirements tool enables sellers to prevent or limit the buyers from bidding or buying their items if ……buyer has a negative FB score…”

How exactly will a buyer ever again have a negative FB score, if seller can’t give them one?

Checked it this morning with eBay HQ and they said no reason why not

So- all in all – good

Have also emailed a couple of peeps I threw the rattle out of the pram with in the early days apologising and leaving feedback follow up comments, admiting I was out of order,

If it goes someway to restore faith in the PowerSellers of this community I for one will be pleased

From the nuclear fallout everywhere, I think that a lot of peeps who are finding these new ways of thinking hard to swallow are moving elsewhere- good is all I can say

In the past I mistakenly let red mist cloud me, over buyers, now I leave it first – and agree with Sue completely – it gives buyers confidence

Plus – I think the buyers can work out who is not playing fair when a seller gets a neg,,, especially if the seller has worked their socks off

PS- Big thanks for Dan as well – his daily posts have got me rethinking my strategy completely

My negs and neuts remained at the same level, and in fact I feel that buyers are more likely to give me the benefit of the doubt if, for example, deliveries are delayed, because they see the feedback I've left and know I can't blackmail them.

But then maybe that prooves ebays point?. I changed it back to after they left positive a couple of weeks after my experiment, but now I don't know what to do. I think overall the changes are good, but it will take a little getting used to, like I said in a previous comment, in 3 months we will all be wondering what all the fuss was about! :-) I did start leaving positive on payment in November, my feeling was that the % of buyers who left any feedback went down (suggesting that some buyers maybe only leave you a feedback to get one themselves), and I got a neut from one of them which I felt was a little unjustified, they didn’t contact me about any probs, just left a neut saying they thought the item was difficult to assemble (no mention of super fast service), I am left wondering if she would have done this if my feedback was going to follow.
