OMG - Seller cant win that!!! no way!!!

the feedback system is there for the purpose to warn others of dodgy transactions! one of the many reasons i have now left Ebay 100%. its tudd!

i wonder if ebay will consider removing the feedback system. They have left sellers no option but to leave positive feedback.

I know, it's a complete carv up. Thanks for posting that HC.

The feedback system was fine, when ebay was used for what it was designed - that being us lot clearing out stuff we no longer want.

Now ebay are targetting the big retailers and want to create an amazon style super safe trading area. The prob is, as this case highlights, the Feedback system is soooo open to abuse. Sellers can be hammered by either a naive buyer, or a competitor looking to ruin a reputation. There's much at stake.
