In the past few months, I've had two non-paying bidders. I've done all that's required to get reimbursement BUT those two auctions still sit at the top of my feedback list. Since we sellers cannot leave negative feedback for those scumbags, eBay needs to add a third choice to the "feedback" options. This third choice should be: "Cannot leave feedback. Delete this listing." It continues to irk me that we cannot alert the eBay community to those who bid but don't pay. And seeing those listings, forever it seems, at the top of my feedback list just adds salt to the wound.

I wonder what would happen if we left * as feedback. I think other sellers would know what was meant. I know I would if I saw that.

if a * became known as negative feedback, ebay would do something about it. I'm not sure I would want to leave feedback of any sort, just because it gives the buyer incentive to do so too... unless they already did so.

Really, what is negative feedback? What if the buyer paid 3 weeks after the listing ended and we put, "Buyer paid 3 weeks after the listing ended." or "Buyer Opened Claim, stated item not as described". If it is factual and non-derogatory, is that a negative comment?

I am sure the FB sellers leave for buyers is screened for negative words and word combos.

The feedback function initially contributed to ebay's great success.

Now it is contributing to ebay's slow downfall. (thanks to all of the changes, DSR's, etc)

That's my opinion.

It is worse on AMZN.
Most buyers just want to buy a book and dont bother to leave feedback,but the ones who are pissed do.
SO you figure how bad neg/total feedback % ?
On most sites,people placed an order,they received the goods and shipping is stated ,why rate a seller based on shipping when Ebay expects seller to take out insurance and DC?And PAYPAL expects seller to ship promptly in 7 days.

There is no 'Global savings glut',only wild horses and loose bankers.
