I'm 100% again!
Ebay just wiped off the three retaliatory feedbacks I've received from unscrupulous sellers over the years, and added the 50 or so multiple feedbacks I had received from repeat sellers to my total feedback count. I'm 100% again!
Check yours now!

Mine wiped out some positives and therefore accentuated a recent retaliatory negative I got from a seller right before the rules changed... I went from my former 100% feedback I had last week to 97.7% today.
And now, they apparently even removed the mechanism for mutual removal of feedback... which I would do since I finally received the right item after 2 months. (with no messages received, and 5 sent)

I'm up from 260 @ 100% to 296 @ 100%. Better put it to work!

Edit after thinking about it some more: The flip side of the coin is if you don't purchase much in the next 12 months, your % will decline even more (since you have a neg) as your old positives drop off the 12 month window. In other words it's an eBay plot to get you to buy more!

Feedback on the Bay is even more of a joke than before. You can't leave bad feedback for a buyer? Only positive feedback for sellers? Can you say dog and pony show?

My one negative feedback was retaliatory because I left a negative for the seller who sent the wrong item 1 month after I paid, and didn't respond to 5 messages in the next 4 weeks , so I will shed no tears about a seller not having the ability to leave negative feedback against a buyer.
The sellers brought that on themselves when they started the practice of buying feedback with their feedback a couple of years ago... They should have just earned their feedback the old fashioned way, with customer satisfaction... then they would still have negative feedback to use for real bad buyers and deadbeats instead of retaliation for bad feedback.
No loss in my book...
EDIT: I have only sold a couple of dozen times, but I posted positive feedback as soon as I shipped, every time.

I don't know if I have been lucky or not, but so far, I would have only left two negatives. The rest of my sellers I believed did fine and they have received their positive feedback.

More reason why I refuse to sell on eBay.
EDIT: And what if you haven't sold anything in 12 months with 100% positive feedback? You drop to zero?
EDIT #2: Yep - you sure do: https://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAP...ab=AllFeedback
Bull$hit!

I'm at 99% because one guy sent $ to the wrong address for Shimano 600 tri-color FD/RD, and refused to correct it. I never got paid, never sent the item, and got the neg feedback. I hope he falls off his bike and it doesn't get damaged.....

I though there was a problem with the Beta. Mine jumped from 603 to 644, but I still have the one negative retaliation when the jerk bought a mountain bike frame from me as a BIN, then didn't pay for two weeks, no response to emails for three more weeks, then tried to get me to come down on the price! He did that to five other people, so I dinged him. He then dinged me, and had the nerve to call me trigger happy

I've been reading up on all the changes to feedback they've made. It may actually be a good thing for both sellers and buyers... in the long run.

Once again I am going to ask for some sort of C&V only 'For Sale' thread. No newbee's no spammers, self policing.

I hear ya OFG. I really enjoyed the links to your Craigslist ads a couple months ago and secretly wanted the Panasonic. Was that not an acceptable solution? Mods shoot it down or what?
