Why does eBay no longer list the dates when feedback was left for sellers?

The date feedback was left for a seller was always a quick and easy reference for a buyer whilst patiently waiting for the seller to in turn leave feedback for the buyer, without the buyer having to needlessly and repeatedly request the reciprocal feedback they are entitled to. . The date feedback is left is no longer listed? Why? Many sellers get a bit lazy or  forgetful and as long as they received positive feedback and seem to need reminders to return the favor to the buyer who is trying hard to accumulate positive feedback towards their reputation. The listed feedback dates being in writing were also a handy reference to determine before buying from a seller whether or not the seller is fast or slow at leaving feedback from previous buyers.

You can change your settings to leave automatic positive feedback as soon as someone has left you positive feedback.

I find that is the easiest.

Feedback is voluntary.

For buyers feedback is just egoboo, since sellers can leave only positive feedback.

In addition, sellers cannot Block buyers for having low feedback, although we can Block bidders with Unpaid Item Strikes.

 

Only about 70% of transactions actually include feedback.
