I would add "Seller's Communication" most sellers stop communicating when the auction ends.Zoot wrote:Long Time Ebayer here:
The Feedback system on EBay got to be a joke. Sellers withholding Feedback from Buyers until the buyer posted feedback. If the Buyer posted legitimate negative Feedback the Seller would trash the buyer.
Here was my suggestion. The Seller cannot process payment until feedback is left. It goes to escrow or withheld by paypal until the seller posts feedback.
The Seller should leave feedback based on these criteria.
1. Buyers Communication
2. Buyers Timely or untimely pay.
Sellers can be held for:
1. Condition and correctness of item
2. Validity of descritpion
3. Shipping promptness
4. Shipping costs and options
5. Ease of payment
6. Problem Resolution
When I get a box of broken crap I don't want my feedback threatened for making a valid complaint.
Another thing getting out of hand is charging 3 dollars for a 20 dollar item and charging 25 dollars to ship it. Ebay does not charge sellers fees on shipping and I don't think Paypal charges percentages for shipping.
And what is wrong with updating the auction if the seller is going on vacation or there will be a delay because of a "Death in the Family".
Where do you put - the seller doesn't respond to emails and when he does gives incorrect information but when the item arrived (2wks later) it was exactly as described?
