Just logged onto ebay and noticed my rating is up from 426 to 433 and my feedback % down fom 98.4% to 91.7% without me receiving any feedback other than a couple of positives!

Seems they use the last 12 months now, meaning my 11+ and 1 neutral = 91.7%.

I know thats exactly what happened to me. was well suprised to see that.

Sonic'

Mine has always been 100%

fatherpierre

Yeah but the gay **** market is very friendly on ebay.


Apparently

paulwrxboro

mines gone up 100%

David_Dickson

What a rubbish idea!
granted my feedback has also gone back to 100%, but I only use ebay maybe 3 or 4 times a year, so 1 negative from some **** who cant read properly (same as my only other negative years back) could bump my score down to 60% or so.

fatherpierre

Yes, my thoughts too.

My neutral was from a new ebayer who was happy with his purchase, yet I lose nigh on 7% of my rating.

Ebahy have been fiddling with their systems quite a bit of late - not all for the good or user-friendly. The new car search system is crap and slow.

Jamescsti

Mine has gone up by +4 too, still at 100%.
Think it's good that if you make more than 1 purchase from the same supplier you grt another feedback point, used to be if you bought 10 items from the same seller, their feedback would only count once

MattW

The Positive Feedback percentage is calculated based on the number of positive, negative and neutral ratings (including Repeat Feedback) received in the last 12 months as folows:


Positives /

Positives + Neutrals + Negatives


Member's 12 Month Feedback ratings
Positives:15Neutrals:0Negatives: 0

Member's Positive Feedback percentage

15 = 100.0%
15 + 0 + 0

So as David suggests you could have 4/(4+0+1) = 80%

like the idea of having more points per transaction but as I only on 80, it dosent really bother me. saying that 1 negative in 12 months has rubbished my score now and anyway the buyer and I sorted it all out in the end.

So someone who has been screwing people over for years and received loads of negative feedback but for some reason only had 1 transaction in the last 12 months(that goes well) will have a feedback rating of 100%?


Way to go ebay!

BlkKnight

why remove the facility of a buyer to leave -ve feedback?

I really don't see the logic.

pwhittle

I wondered that this morning.

I aplied for a loan recently, and was asked my ebay feedback rating!

plantpotman

.. dont think there was anything wrong with the feedback system as it was
.. dont think these new ideas are a good thing at all, seems to me the only
good idea was the "star" rating system buyers left for sellers ..
I must agree for an occasional sellar 1 neutral in a year could look awful

Ghetto Dude3

bit like 95% of the cars sold on ebay

-1: dodgy old Mercedes, eh Pierre?

It appears to be all in favour of the vendor. That said; eBay havent ever been accused of looking after their buyers, have they?

BlkKnight

how's it in favour of the vendor? The vendor can't give -ve?

oh well my 1 negative feedback i got 7 years ago will no longer show
dont see how this change will help anyone tho.

bish667

iTrader: (1)

The vendor will no longer receive -ve feedback as the buyer cant leave any.

Freak

Er...
no

thats the wrong way round.
The SELLER can no longer leave -ve...the buyer still CAN

Ok sorry i clearly dont know what im talking about. Dont think much of ebay anymore imo, too much stuff thats misadvertised etc.

GC8

eBays messages arent too clear, as I seem to have misunderstood too.

I didnt even notice ebay had made this change until i seen this topic.
Thought ebay would have at least made it clear they were making changes or did they?

Clarebabes

What so if someone doesn't pay, you can't leave neg feedback?

I'm back up to 100%, got 1 neg over 3 years ago!

Ive just had a non payer, Ive done the NPB alert got my fees back but I cant leave them a negative! Not a good idea when trying to judge someone who's bidding on one of your auctions.

My feedback went up from 1,993 to 2,532.........which was nice!

scoobynutta555

I'm generally happy with it. I'm back to 100% after an idiot 2 years ago. But what's not so good is:

"Buyers, you can no longer receive negative or neutral Feedback from sellers.


You should leave honest and accurate Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings "

fatherpierre

They should have 3 feedback ratings, one as a buyer, one as a seller and the other combined.
