Feedback will be changing if the UK boards mean anything - and not for the better!

Interesting read that you will no longer be able to see feedback left for others in the UK,

How long before it gets here?

Terrible, terrible, terrible.  What people (both BUYERS and SELLERS) say about others is more telling than what others say about them.  I hope it is just a test because it would be a bad decision to implement it permanently.  

Competing sellers will be able to buy and leave all negs for other sellers and no one will ever know.  A good seller who gets an unjustified neg can NOW see the buyer leaves all negs all the time.  NOW that member can be reported and when eBay sees an obvious pattern, NARU the member.  Or will the only way to halt those types be to report any neg or neut to eBay and once again "trust in eBay" to get on the ball and toss the abuser?  This could result in every single FB that is not positive being reported.  Dealing with that would be expensive.  Or are they planning to eliminate FB altogether?  That would be even worse.  

"Ebay doesn't want sellers to know how many of these donkeys they continue to let abuse their site" about sums it up.

This would be a terrible move.

Since when has eBay ever made a positive change, like when they removed the "print" option for buyers and sellers.

I list of no-no's is just too many!

The only way this could be made not terrible is if the member's profile displayed instead how many Reports have been made against them. 

We all know that will never happen.

When we see a scammer we really want to know this but I am thinking it would not be good because too many whiners report for any time they don't get their own way. They may not be a scammer but if Reports were made visible everyone wanting to harm the reputation of another would report that other person.  Whereas FB Left for others may be what finally gets a member kicked out but at least it will be a member's own fault if they get axed by their own sword.

if it is bad for sellers and good for buyers we can rest assured it is coming for us..what a joke..

Feedback left is visible on the uk site now so it was either a glitch or some sort of test.

That's a relief. For the time being.
