eBay elsewhere

by Sue Bailey



Scotland on Sunday has a nice positive piece about eBay, including the information that 178,000 people in the UK run an eBay business, which is up 160% over the last two years.

Not quite so positive from The Times: a Romanian town gets rich on eBay fraud.

A letter from Matt Halprin about feedback changes.

Auctionbytes interviews JD and Lorrie Norrington.

    ”If the buyer does this to 2-3 sellers (depending on how new the buyer is) – we’ll suspend the buyer and remove any negative or neutral feedback they’ve left – something we don’t do today.”

    I believe eBay have got these changes spot on, and this is clearly one of these seller protections been put in place. i would feel more comfortable with this process rather then leaving a neg as sellers have done previously.

    Thanks eBay for listening to us sellers. lets hope 2008 will be a great year :P :razz: :smile: :lol:

    Romanian town gets rich from eBay Fraud. Feels a bit like a bit of good old-fashioned redistribution of wealth to me. :wink:
