Hang Tight, More eBay Feedback Changes Coming

Sellers could hardly believe their eyes when they read eBay's January 29 manifesto announcing radical changes to the auction site, especially the news that, beginning in May, sellers would no longer be able to leave buyers negative or neutral feedback. eBay posted an update on Wednesday, giving sellers more details - and dropping another bombshell. eBay will no longer allow Mutual Feedback Withdrawal, a procedure that lets buyers and sellers withdraw their feedback ratings by mutual consent. In addition, sellers will no longer be able to use SquareTrade's online dispute resolution service to aid in feedback removal.

eBay Rolls Out Feedback Changes on Dot Com Site

Feedback changes announced in January were introduced onto eBay.com on Monday as part of a global rollout that began last week in Australia. As of Monday, sellers on eBay.com are prohibited from leaving buyers anything but positive feedback, and eBay has adjusted the way it calculates a member's positive feedback percentage score.

May Day, May Day: eBay Boycott Strikes Again

Today some eBay sellers are officially kicking off — or renewing their vows to continue - the latest worldwide boycott against the auction company. As we reported in January (see Miffed eBayers Mobilize for May Break Up), the sellers behind this strike have very clear grievances with eBay regarding feedback changes. The new policy prevents sellers from leaving negative feedback for a buyer. Other initiatives boycotters are unhappy about include fee increases and the integration of Detailed Seller Ratings (DSR) into eBay search results.

eBay Addresses Questions over New Feedback Changes

Many eBay sellers in the US weren't sure what to expect when they powered up their computers on Monday morning to check their feedback. eBay's latest changes to the rating system had already been rolled out in Australia and the UK, and discussion forums in those countries were flooded with posts from sellers whose positive percentage score had been affected by the changes. Some were elated upon seeing their score had risen - many others were left reaching for the antacid. For the rest of the week, questions about feedback and the impact on PowerSellers continued to pepper the boards, and on Thursday, eBay addressed some of those questions in an Announcement Board post.

eBay Feedback Changes Getting Negative Feedback

I've been at IRCE for only 6hrs so far and the overwhelming theme around eBay I'm hearing is that eBay's feedback changes are NOT going well.

eBay's Feedback Changes Roll Out in Australia

Sellers on eBay Australia may be feeling like guinea pigs these days. The site is going PayPal-only next month - assuming the policy can get past regulators - and this month's feedback changes are hitting Australia today, the first country to be impacted by the radical changes to the rating system announced in January.

eBay Showing Sellers the Door?

Wow! Is it our imagination or is eBay (EBAY) showing their sellers the door? Anyone checking their feedback in the last twenty-four hours was in for a quick reality check. While the new changes to feedback increased overall feedback totals, feedback overall percentages (for many) went straight into the toilet. If you were a seller, who was on the cusp of surpassing that magic number (in total feedbacks) to achieve a new star rating, you might have just went from red to purple but, got double-slapped when you noticed that your overall feedback percentage took a whack as well.

New eBay Feedback Changes Scrutinized by Sellers

Buyers and sellers are getting their first taste of the new feedback changes eBay is rolling out globally to its marketplaces by peeking at the Australian site, where changes rolled out on Monday. Users are finding their positive percentage scores are changing, and eBay has rolled out new messaging on to the site to inform buyers of the new policy.

Craigslist's Response To eBay: We Had To Do It!

After eBay sued Craigslist, Craigslist's initial responses were rather weak. eBay made a pretty strong case arguing that Craigslist's board had unilaterally diluted eBay's shares -- which seems pretty questionable. Craigslist initially shot back by accusing eBay of doing the same things eBay was accusing Craigslist of doing -- but that was somewhat misleading. eBay wasn't complaining about the specific actions Craigslist was taking -- but the fact that they had done so unilaterally, despite eBay's ownership stake and board position. Then, Craigslist countersued eBay with a laundry list of charges that effectively amounted to "we don't like them being on our board." Both of these responses were a bit disappointing. While I like Craigslist, and respect Craig and Jim, they still hadn't explained why it was legal for them to unilaterally dilu

EBay Feedback Cutoff Kicking In, Sellers Angry

When eBay announced back in January that it was pulling the plug on its longtime policy of letting sellers leave negative feedback on buyers, those self-same sellers were royally peeved. Now that the policy is set to go into effect, on Monday, May 19, the ire of eBay sellers shows no sign of abating. Boy, are they p.o.'d. Here's what they're telling me.

eBay UK Makes Gallery Free for the Summer

EBay Abandons Plans For PayPal Monopoly

An anonymous reader writes "eBay's has lost its fight to ban all payment methods except PayPal. When Paypal originally announced the scheme it was to be global, but they began with a dry run in Australia to test the reaction of government and consumer authorities. In the public slanging match that followed between eBay and the regulatory ACCC, eBay spammed users claiming it was fighting for 'safety benefits for consumers.' Fortunately the consumers won. Conceded eBay vice president Simon Smith, 'While we disagree with the ACCC's draft notice, we have decided to withdraw the notification to stop any further confusion and disruption among the eBay community.' Nevertheless eBay insists PayPal is now always offered as a payment option. Have big corporations finally learned that they can go too far? More chillingly, if eBay had launched the sc

eBay Hosts May Town Hall Meeting Today
