I got another neg from a NPB after I asked for my fees. Unreal, that is two in a month.
Why does Ebay allow these jerks to soil our Feedback?
I did all I could for this NPB, they said they sent a moneyorder. I did not get it and asked them over 10 times to stop payment and have another issued. They refused to believe that I did not get it. They dropped me a nasty neg last night after I finally filed for fees... I gave them a month.
I am so mad I could scream. I gave them the feedback they deserve, but that does nothing to help me and my feedback now.

Feedback means nothing at all...Look at sellers that have thousands of negatives and continue to have tons of sales. I believe most bidders never look at feedback.

kyms, I know how you feel. I got a neg from female hound from Hell, because she felt that my emails were too negative. Then She demanded I accept her payment through P/P to an unconfirmed address. I refused the payment, no way was I going to ship to her after she negged me. I could see all kinds of problems in doing thst.

Marcn - they are going to matter a great deal when ebay starts placing the actual percentage of positives next to the feedback total.

Neonmania: Why would a percentage change things? The percentage is already there as the umber of positives/negatives is actually displayed. I have about 5800 positive and 17 negs so it is a simple math calculation. Anybody that takes the time to look at feedback is going to be smart enough to read between the lines.

neonmania: To look at a prime example of why negative feedback is meaningless, check out the "one cent cd" auctions. (Sorry, rules prohibit me posting usernames.)
We've guesstimated that business is bringing in $1.5 million a year. Sellthrough is in the high 90s.
Yet that user has (at the moment) 1579 negatives.
These are not people who worry about negative feedback.

Basically I think that most people don't click on the number. Lets say I have 2000 unique feedback reponses, 700 of which are negative - 95% of bidders would look at rating of 1300 and think they were safe and all was well.
If however next to that 1300 there is a little line that says that my rating is 60% positive I'd venture to guess I won't be seeing many bids.
That's where I think it's going to start making a difference - when it's right there up front what the percentages are.

You open yourself up to that type of retaliation if you leave negative feedback for the buyer. File your FVF and after the third one, the buyer is booted from eBay. The goal is to keep the buyer off eBay not to tarnish your positive feedback ratio.

marcn you wrote Anybody that takes the time to look at feedback is going to be smart enough to read between the lines.
you failed to take this in to account with your statement 50% of the bidders do not know how to read
