If only for the perception that Buyers still look for 100% Sellers, and if that one neg / neut brings you back to that can only help your cause. Or if that one neg / neut being removed brings you back above the 98% Powerseller mark. We are all moaning about wrongful feedback being left, and sellers not being able to do anything about it, at least this is light at the end of the tunnel albeit a very small light! northumbrian, surely if they are within 12 months it’s worth it?

I don't know what's happened to the automatic removal thereof; it was supposed to have been done by now. ’twasn’t me, but I have heard from several people that if you request from PS Support to remove negs/neuts from NARU members, they will do it now.

I had one removed without asking last week, I believe I read here before (Sue? I think you mentioned it?) that NARU feedback is being assessed and removed manually, so it will take them more than a little while to get through everyone. So if you tell them where to look, they will likely be grateful to have one sorted without searching for it. #161 Not a bad idea about the NARU neg/neuts.

Prior to the latest SNP, Feedback rules, increased FVF, I was quite happy on eBay. But these changes have done me a favour in a roundabout way. I now list elsewhere, I am building my website, I now advertise locally of my wares, and am considering craft fairs. Once I would have been more than happy to list everything on eBay, now I don't. On a separate positive note, I read on Q&A about a seller getting a neg from a NPB who responded within the NPB disute removed as they were now NARU'd. I tried my luck, emailed eBay with item number, user ID and reason 'NPB dispute, No Payment, User NARU' Please remove neg feedback. Today it dissappeared! The transaction was in January 2008. So if you have time, and see any Neuts or Neg and that Buyer is NARU, try to get them removed. @159 Martin,

Amazing. So sellers will have to front the money for shipping and can wind up with the buyer claiming they never got it, get a refund, leave a negative and....... you get the picture. Quite grim.

If ebay do not care enough to cover these people, they will have to find a way to cover themseleves. Sorry ebay but us dolphins can take on sharks once we are out of the net of rubish you are putting around us. All because a buyer that is negged opens up a new account, and what do ebay think it is, the buyer is leaving. maybe they should have started reading the IPs before bringing in such bad rules.

That's why these pathetic sellers are still trading. But of course the big sellers are only a small % of all sellers so this suspension thing must be costing ebay a fortune in credits to accounts. Maybe ebay should file for bankruptsy now & do us all a favor.. 1/2 million listings @ .30p ( or = $ cost) listing fees is alot of dosh for ebay to recredit back to an account when they pull the listings & suspend you.

Forums all over the web are in rebellion over such unfair treatment. It will reach such proportions, I'm sure, that either ebay will reform just before it implodes on itself, or some other organization will expose them on TV or through other media, and then ebay will be fighting for survival as it's customers flee to the hills, confidence at zero, share plumetting and so on.
