Ig, what do you think of this new change?
I think that this is not a great change, as it leaves sellers with no
chance to warn others about bad buyers. Some change was due, such as
calculating seller feedback for sold items only, but this one is off
the mark.

What is your overall opinion/experience of Ebay?
I deal with the business and industrial category 95% of the tie, and
like it a lot, was scammed or disappointed only very few times, and
had only very nice buyers.

I can't help feeling that the underlying problem has always been that people
(from day one) left positive feedback for ordinary transactions. If the
standard had been neutral feedback, with positive reserved for exceptional
performance, then feedback might actually be worth the electrons it was
written with.

I have always thought this too.
Way too many "Thumbs Up" and !!!!!s
Superlatives should be reserved for super service beyond the call.
