Ebay has lost thier minds

Actually it just went into effect. It was announced months ago. The reason for it is so sellers can't give retalitory feedback if the buyer gives them bad feedback. There were also a few other changes. You now get credit for multipule feedbacks from the same buyer. My feedback rating jumped over 125 points today. Their reasoning is good but the way they tried to fix the problem sucks. Now if a buyer doesn't pay, you can't leave bad feedback. So now buyers will always have a 100% rating. I think the way they hid the bidders name is stupid too. You can't tell if there is shill bidding.

I agree with the policy but not the way they did it. Sellers wait for a negative feedback and then blast you even though you did nothing wrong. The way the policy should be, is that once the buyer has paid a proven payment through paypal etc., then you cannot leave negative feed back.
This allows a screwed buyer to post freely, and allows the victim of a dead beat the option to call out the jerk.
