    More PC bullshit

    Any other ebay users out there? Did you notice the wee message popping up as you log in?

    I'll let you read it for yourself... it's a humble cut and paste - I kid you not...

    Funny isn't it LOL

    It's Corporate US saying "If you can't say something nice... don't say anything at all". It's all to help "boost shopper confidence" FFS!!!!!

    I wonder if eBay were being sued over bad feeback given by person A to person B or something stupid...

    I just tried signing in and this is what I got.

    So in the future how are sellers supposed to know if a buyer is a genuine one or a timewaster??

    Basically they're saying negative feedback doesn't work. I've had negative feedback from a crooked seller simply because I dared to give them negative feedback first. Most peeps are too scared to leave negative feedback.

    I've had some good sellers who've left positive feedback as soon as I've paid, which is how it should be really, since there's nothing the buyer can do to affect the sale once they've paid.

    Why don't they just get rid of the feedback system altogether if sellers can only give buyers positive feedback? It defeats the whole point of the system!

    Well, sounds like you will have to leave positive feedback with abusive comments then...

    Or find their IP addresses, track them down, pour petrol on them and burn them.

    Crazy world! Not allowed to say anything bad about anyone, ever.

    Shit at school, my reports used to say thing like...

    can do better if more effort is made...easily distracted...needs to concentrate on the task at hand...blah...blah

    These days I reckon I would be a model student...

    Produces some wonderful work...enjoys the company of her peers...shows great aptitude at multi tasking...

    Got this from the site. Sounds sweet to me.

    "No negative or neutral Feedback for buyers

    The previous system prevented buyers from leaving honest Feedback since they feared retaliation from the sellers if they left a negative. This made it harder for buyers to distinguish between sellers while making bidding or buying decisions. In addition, when buyers received negative Feedback, they reduced their activity in the marketplace, which in-turn harmed sellers."
