AOL EmailI am a little curious. I sent a post a couple of days ago to MoPo asking for opinions on the new feedback system that eBay has introduced (see my email below). I have seen a great many posts to MoPo over the years complaining about the feedback system and its disadvantages. Many posts have been highly critical of the old system for a variety of reasons. It has taken eBay a long time to finally roll out this new revised system and yet there was only one response to my post with an opinion on it.
Does this mean that there is little interest in the changes that have been made? Are all of the people who posted complaints about the old system happy with the new system? The new system has already commenced in some countries and I have already left ratings for a couple of sellers. Part of the feedback that is left will be hard to trace so it will be anonymous to all intents and purposes. It is possible that you could leave a positive rating for a seller but then leave very low ratings in the detailed star system on the same transaction. Do MoPoers have an opinion?

Apart from making an overall rating you are also asked to rate the 4 other aspects of the transaction. I rated the seller... How accurate was the item description? Very accurate How satisfied were you with the seller's communication? Very satisfied How quickly did the seller post the item? Very quickly How reasonable were the postage and handling charges? Very reasonable The cumulative data will appear on the main feedback page of the seller so that even if you have a one hundred percent record of positive feedback you could have a poor record in, say, the buyers opinion of your postage and handling charges. It appears that as I am registered in Australia I can leave this feedback on any seller irrespective of the country they are registered in. There is no option for the seller to leave detailed feedback eg How fast was payment? Did the buyer communicate? Did the buyer complain that they thought they were buying a video? etc etc. This is an interesting change to the feedback policy which I think has been introduced to protect those who are afraid of retaliatory negative feedback. They will still probably give a positive rating but can show any displeasure about the transaction in the ratings. Apparently, it will be difficult for sellers to find out who has left ratings for them. What you all think about the new system.
