I guess there'll be a lot of buyers out there who'll be taking advantage of the fact that sellers are no longer able to leave negative feedback for buyers. I mean, it just throws the balance totally out of whack and now many unscrupulous buyers will be using this fact as a way to demand compliance from sellers. Beware.
eBay has totally lost the plot, imo. I can't wait for Google to open their own auction site!
Oh you have got to be kidding! The guy sells something, doesn't keep the receipt, and you start blaming the buyer and eBay rules!
It was the sellers that were abusing the buyers on eBay that prompted the change in the rules, not the other way around. Now it works like any other store when you buy something and don't have a good experience, you are free to post a negative comment without fear of having your own feedback score ruined in retaliation.
It is the sellers responsibility to make sure the item arrives and if the seller didn't send it with delivery or signature confirmation, then he has no way to know if the package arrived to the buyer and it is his own fault. A refund needs to be sent to the buyer and a lesson learned by the seller.
