You can seriously hurt a seller by marking all of the star ratings as a 1. If they do not have many sales it will get them suspended.

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> I know that you can damage the seller's standing with Ebay and this bothers me even more because this person has to know this as well. Even when I am not happy I don't leave a bad report but this person has told me that he will not hesitate in leaving one? for me if I am not happy with him. This is like shooting yourself in the foot, and I have to wonder about somebody that has to hold your feedback as hostage. Maybe you as another seller should tell this person that his message is being taken as if he was holding the feedback as hostage unless he gets what he wants from his buyers. And I will be honest with you I don't believe I will ever buy from him again and I will not be recommending him to anybody I know.

The problem is when some moron makes a change for the sake of change that has no benefit. I have never been a big eBay fan, they only care when it hits them in the wallet. They are rapidly removing all the positive aspects of doing business with them, but because of reproducer research I will continue to watch and buy. I think if they would have given the option to keep the old format they could have gotten an accurate idea of what people thought of the change, but as long as they make money they will not care. I enjoyed and agree with your post. Steve 22:56:28 -0600 > > I agree, it sucks. When they first let this 'new format' out in the wild, I > opted back out, quickly as I hated it.
