Scared to tell the truth when asked about feedbacks

[gotgoatturde]

We all know how important it is for eBay to get all sellers and buyers to give their feedbacks on all items they've received. But just how honest do you think most feedbacks are? Doesn't anybody else feel like eBay guides you to go for the positive feedback at all times? Notice how if you get a early package you cannot give a negative feedback for approximately 7 days how realistic is your feedback?
When you do give the negative feedback...
Anybody else notice that when you give out a negative feedback stuff starts to go wrong with your app or you're having more technical difficulties than usual? That's eBay telling you to only give positive feedbacks even if what you receive sucked. And let's be honest here guys, when is the last time you were actually ecstatic to receive something from a seller on eBay? I'm mostly talking for the currency collectibles portion of the app. Then even if you get a negative feedback then there's option for revision then there's option for this there's option for that for what you ask so for when every single time a buyer goes to check a seller's feedback it always says positive. It's controlled it's fake and downright dirty eBay you suck you always will.
That's my Two Cents for the day.

Completely unimportant.

Feedback has always been voluntary and only about 40% of transactions get any.

And eBay doesn't use feedback to assess member accounts.

f you get a early package you cannot give a negative feedback for approximately 7 days how realistic is your feedback?

Only if your seller is one of the few whose FB is set that way, which is a perk eBay gives to mega-sellers.

With two incorrect and misunderstood premises, your hypothesis fails.

Several years ago there were standalone programs that could be used with eBay. The fees were based on feedback. More feedback. More fees. Would be interesting to know if they still are using that model or have switched to something else? Fortunately no longer enrolled because of a fee increase.

I find feedback close to pointless. If I buy from you 99.99999% chance I'll leave a positive, 5 stars and "fast shipping" in the comments...even if it takes 3 weeks to get to me. You'd have to do something pretty "out there" to get me to do anything different. If I sell you something, as soon as I ship I leave a positive with "fast payment" in the comments...even if it takes 3 days for me to get the payment. Buyers can only get positives anyway, so what does it matter?
