MAJOR NEW EBAY RULES FOR SELLERS!!, by Guest on May 16, 2008 16:43:41 GMT 1, Taken from fleabay website....
The main changes to the system being introduced in May:
Beginning in February 2008, we enabled buyers and sellers to earn up to one Feedback per week from the same trading partner. In May we will provide credit for similar repeat transactions going back to when the system was introduced in 1996. This change will encourage repeat transactions and reward good service.
In May, sellers will no longer be able to leave negative or neutral Feedback for buyers.
Removal of negative and neutral Feedback left by members who are suspended or who fail to respond to the Unpaid Item (UPI) Process.
Positive Feedback percentage will be based on the past 12 months of Feedback, rather than lifetime, since it is most indicative of the seller's recent performance.
Restrictions on when Feedback can be left:
Buyers must wait seven days before leaving negative or neutral Feedback for active PowerSellers who have been registered for at least 12 months.
Members must leave Feedback within 60 days of the transaction closing (today members have up to 90 days).
Removal of Mutual Feedback Withdrawal.

I guess sellers need to post items as quickly as possible in order to avoid any neutrals/negatives being left. It's good in many ways as the old feedback system had no credibility but places the power straight into buyers hands!

MAJOR NEW EBAY RULES FOR SELLERS!!, by Montubu7 on May 16, 2008 17:20:17 GMT 1, It was announced in january with amendments since then so theres been some advance notice of it, its a porr policy decision though.
If anyone does sell on ebay UK its worth checking ebay announcements frequently as there are numerous amendments to the ebay structure coming over the next few months, some announced some not announced yet.
Its also worth checking ebay.com & ebay.au as a lot of things implemented abroad many months before usually make their way over to the uk eventually ( most but not all!)
Paypal is also amending theiir terms & conditions at some point so expect changes there, paypal changes do have some good things for sellers included but most of ebay/paypal changes is to enhance the BUYER experience.
One of the paypal changes will be a change in posting to an unconfirmed address, that will a change to benefit the seller rather than the buyer. ( above applies to UK paypal/ebay)

Its not just picking up a neutral or a neg, you can have consistent positive feedback but poor detailed seller rating results which could lead to listing restrictions, postage & packing is the one that lets people down across the whole of ebay & i know people who have had restrictions placed on them because of that.
Plus if your feedback drops you could receive restrictions on that as well, i belive its currently 98% when ebay monitors it but that may change going forward.
Get over to Auction sabotuer is my advice.
