"Buyers, you can no longer receive negative or neutral Feedback from sellers.
You should leave honest and accurate Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings."

well... that doesn't really fix the problem, it just creates a new problem. Now there's no way to hold buyers accountable when they fuck up. Ebay's people certainly aren't going to do it.
Ebay sucks.

They're doing everything they can force out small time sellers. If you own an eBay shop you get reductions, if you sell consistently you will earn better feedback ratings, whereas if you sell very little and earn a few negs then will suspend or ban you.
Everything is gearing towards eBay being a place to buy goods like you would in a shopping mall, thus heightening their perceived reputation for reliability and accountability.
Unfortunately, what they're not accounting for is that the principles that attracted people to eBay in the first place have been abolished, their insufferable greed has alienated all users from top to bottom and now the door is open for someone else (possibly eBid) to both replace and overtake them.

I often use Amazon.com to buy second-hand stuff... there are some right good bargains to be had: I don't think I've even used eBay in a year.

My mother is an online reseller of home decor and just pulled out of ebay recently for all the bs they have been kicking. She set up this network on ning.

It's good because some sellers are tools who don't give you payment details and try to give negative feedback 'cause you didn't pay.

eBay sucks - I had a run-in once and tried to get it sorted out by contacting them multiple times to absolutely no avail.
