I’m not so sure I agree with that – traditional retail is sooooo PC they are scared to death to tell the customer they aren’t right all the time.

Traditional retail has reached the point where the customer is stealing and being allowed to get away with it and all their rights are protected.

Which actually sounds about the same though…

Removal of the ability to give negative feedback from sellers is to make it more like traditional retail outlet instead of person to person trading platform. eBay is becoming more “corporate” and simply does not care much for the small and mid-sized sellers. But I thought that’s where they make the most of their profit.

Hi Jen,

I’m certainly not that well aware at this moment what the “real deal” is, but my first thought from what I’ve read is the removal of the ability to give negative feedback on a buyer is a major issue, which I believe is righteous because, especially in cyberspace, the customer just da** well isn’t always right…

In and of itself that disallows the sellers to conduct business in a “normal” manner because they’re now subject to scams galore. Not to forget that Paypal has some sort of hold on transactions for 21 days which can only add to the impossibilities.

I’m going to continue to look at this. It surely has my interest.

Thanks for dropping in…

what is the real deal with eBay anyway? I’ve been hearing news about them as early as a few weeks ago if memory serves me right. Hopefully, they’ll be able to regroup and find a way to recover. Personally, I’m more of an Amazon.com client. I suppose the difference is a bit like the difference between Walmart and Target.
