Got a wierd one. Yesterday my feedback rating went up by one even though nobody left any feedback. I'm almost hoping it goes up by one each day for no reason then my score will be great. Anyone else noticed this?

I had been given a negative from a lamer because I complained about the extortionate post charges that he decided to charge me AFTER the auction had ended for an Amiga game. My feedback suffered for years because of that and try as I might was never able to get 100% again. I am now 100%
I think ebay are really trying hard to make ebay a good name as remember years ago the very mention, just by reputation alone, of buying from the site, would have people saying, are you insane or what !!!
:)
Yes I noticed this yesterday too. My Feedback went up by about 10 when I logged in.
Also I had 1 negative feedback like Castelle mentions and so my feedback was always displayed as about 98.7% which was unfair because the negative feedback was given to my account after I had first left some on the other member's account for not sending me an item I had already paid for.
But now eBay are working out feedback based on the last 12 months, instead of for the whole life of your account (which for me is 8 years). This is much fairer as it gives a truer representation of your current standing on eBay.
I'm not sure why the feedback went up though. Are the new counting multiple feedback from the same member if you had sold to them more than once as individual feedback towards your total? Before regardless of the number of feedback received from a single member it only counted as 1 feedback towards your total score.
Interesting thought that Harrison, I thought that because you had traded so much over the year with no negatives or neutrals you were being "awarded" for being a good little boy or girl ! :rolleyes::)Quote:

Did anyone here about ebay's plans to not allow sellers to leave negative feedback to buyers? I'm not sure what happened to that.
I've not heard anything about that, but if it is true then that is a very bad idea. How would a seller warn others of a bad buyer? And in turn how would a buyer ever receive any negative feedback?
I heard about it in February. Needless to say as most of my ebaying is selling i'm not happy even though i've never left a buyer negative feedback.Quote:

Multiple sells also count now! mine has gone from 609 to 640!
So each sell/buy you make counts, weather or not you have brought from the person b4 or not!
This is better, as I tend to buy certian things on a regular basis from the same sellers! :thumbs:
Mine hasnt changed at all, it is still only 70...
Grrr.... Grumble.... Moan.... B17ch.... Complain....
Mine hasn't changed at all, still at 148. I still have 1 negative feedback from a french guy, who's no longer a registered member. I sent him the money, but he didn't get it immediately and gave me negative feedback. Then after 2 weeks he contacted me, telling that his bank made an error, and posted a commentary saying that I'm a serious buyer. But the negative feedback wasn't removable anymore. Damn frog eater!!
Ok, mine has changed today, went up to 167, and my only negative feedback was removed.
Chill Demon Cleaner !!
Can't say fairer than that eh !?! :D
OH Btw, Love the Miggy pointing cursor Harrison!!
Nice touch !!:lol::lol:
Mine went all the way up to ... 70 bleedin' 6.
Ah well, it's better than buying an Xbox 360, and finding it only plays Mario games!!!!
Uh, I haven't checked mine. I think I'm on 20 or something. I don't really use eBay all that often.
I've bought a few second hand games and spares for mobiles, sold a couple of iPhones. Need to sell some suitcases which were delivered to us by mistake, and some spare panels for an abandoned mini restoration project.
Has anyone here ever reported an ebay item to ebay for breach of their item regulations?
I do this when I find someone trying to sell collections of emulators and roms on there.
But I'm wondering if ebay ever actually do anything about it. I get an email saying thank you for submitting the report, but when I've checked the sellers over a week later they are still on there selling the same pirate copies of games.
I have reported some items, and they dissapeared. I reported a few computers where they did 'keyword spamming' e.g. by putting G3 G4 MacBook Pro in the title of an lder powerbook (this seemed to be with big companies selling stuff and not people who specialise with macintoshes).
I also had someone report my auction and it got deleted because I said in the auction that I accepted cash.
Hey, I have gone from 94 to 102!
I remember buying a Pink PSP (for my daughter) got all the way to 1 min left, and I was winning bid. Then 1 min later I clicked on my profile to pay, cause I knew I had won and it told me that the aution had been deleted by EBAY.
Turned out she got a word wrong and someone reported her. Anyways, she was great, and still sold it to me for last bid I made, :).
I am not all that fussed about games, but what really peeves me is hiding the cost in postage. i.e. a guy was selling a DVD player / Recorder a while back... with a buy it now of £4.99, in the UK this guy is btw. so how much you thinking postage....Quote:

he said yes but he couldn't let it go for anything less than £80.. WTF! :nuts:
so i explained he was circumventing ebay rules, and reported him... yet they did bugger all.... i was watching the auction to the end... and eBay did nothing...
In the back of my mind i kept thinging what if some old doris thought that would make a wonderfull present and not notice the PnP?! fecking outrageous... so every time i see an over inflated PnP i report it to ebay..
Now thats a great ending... Glad that you guys sorted out deal.. thats some good eBay'ing for sure.Quote:

now i could of been a bastard and stated she should still pay etc etc... but instead i contacted ebay and they suggested to fill out a non-payment agreement form thingy... well anyway i ended up out of pocket listing fees... how fair was that?
Still i put it back on ebay, and this time it sold for £150 :D whoot
Now that i am thinking about it i remember, my wife had damaged her Quake 4CD, although she has a key etc. I looked on EBAY to replace it, as ID softweare wanted £14 + delivery for a repleacment.
will i found one for £4.99... image of the game etc... all looked nice, and the guy had good feedback....
when i got the disk it was a fecking blaggg with a code scrawled on it!!!!!
I handed it into the police, and informed ebay.... they did NOTHING.... clearly they didn't care.
I informed PayPal and they sent me back the 4.99, but still.... its an outrage to think some one can honestly believe they could pull that off....
heres a good chuckle... Judge Judy V's Ebay Scammer man does she lay-down the law!
