So...are we sure that the feedbacks for transactions prior to 12th May can be retaliated ? Yeah, I'm pretty sure. Probably best not to take the risk though, if you value your feedback rating.

Dorian, good luck! This is one time I'd REALLY like to be wrong.

Update: Neutrals no longer count towards an individual's feedback rating. When they made this change (no more negatives for buyers) I presume it was something they thought long and hard on. I mean, the previous policy had been in place from the beginning. Now they're going to be fiddling with how feedback works every few months? More ridiculousness: eBay has decided that the recently imposed "excessive shipping" policy doesn't go far enough. Starting in september they are going to be setting MAXIMUM shipping rates. After learing of this change I sent the following email to eBay customer service: Hi, I just revised an item I was selling (a single compact disc) and received the following message: "Starting in October, the maximum shipping cost in this category will be $3.00" (the category being first class). I currently charge $4.50, and include delivery confirmation (for which the post office charges me 75 cents). What is eBay thinking by imposing a maximum shipping rate (which I'm hoping will automatically rise if the post office increases their rates)??? Three dollars does NOT cover my costs. My costs include delivery confirmation (which paypal's seller protection policy forces me to purchase), packaging, my time to package the item, plus actual postage. Why has eBay decided I now have to LOSE money shipping items? This doesn't make any sense to me. Also, there doesn't seem to be any distinction being made between single CDs and multi-disc sets (which are heavier). When I sell a heavier boxset (and charge more for shipping) I always receive the "warning" that I'm charging too much. ----- What do you think? Personally I don't like it. I've often skipped over auctions where I thought the shipping was too high, even after the "excessive shipping" rule was imposed. But I think this goes to far.

What do you guys think about not receiving feedback from a seller? I have purchased many items off of eBay and the seller will not leave feedback or does not leave feedback until I have left feedback for them? I have paid for my item, so I would expect feedback left as soon as they receive my payment and then I leave feedback when I receive the item. I have started to not leave feedback for those sellers that have not left me feedback. One of those sellers sent me an e-mail saying to please leave feedback for them. I responded, "Where is my feedback?" When I sell items, I leave feedback when I receive payment. Then the buyer does not leave feedback and I am asking was, "Was there something wrong with the item when you received it?" So now I am thinking about not leaving feedback until the buyer has left feedback for me. I also do not like that sellers can no longer leave negative or neutral feedback. I have had a few complaints from buyer and if they would have read my auction description it is all there in English, but they say they did not read it. One buyer started a case against me, which I won in the end after explaining to eBay that the information was in the description. Ebay customer support is also pretty useless. I have made many calls to them and go around in circles, so I hang up on them. Just got off the phone with eBay customer service about a negative I received because the buyer said that they did not receive their item. The tracking on the package says it was delivered. Ebay support says even with the tracking, that does not mean the buyer received the item, because they might live in apartment with small mail boxes and some one might have stolen it. What? Is that my fault? I believe I am done with eBay and I told the eBay support person that. Protecting the sellers? Who do they make to most money from, the buyers of the seller? Are there these type of problems on Amazon.com? I have sold 2 items on there with no problems.
