New seller feedback information box (feedback %)

I like it a lot, Rickdogg. And occasionally I too would appreciate something that lets me focus in on negative feedbacks. (Neutrals are kinda wishy-washy in my book.) Good luck running such a check on me, though -- I don't have any negatives or neutrals.

Way back in 96 - one negative -
Complaint : Went thru with his bid. Great doing business with. :-)

Now does that sound like a negative - doesn't to me, but since eBay doesn't allow changes, or deletion of comments from users that are no longer registered, I still get that one stinking negative comment.

Geez, Steve...that's a bummer! Surely eBay would let you or the seller make a change, or at least add a line saying it was in error? (If you'd bought stock back then you could now tell them to change it.)

Actually there is a few ways for you to get it removed. Follow this link and you can find information on feedback removal: ***>>>>Click Here<<<<***

If ebay will not work with you, you can also have squaretrade mediate a removal for you, but it will cost you $20 I think. It's up to you though.

If you click on the link in my first post, there is a way to search negatives and neutrals. Look above.

Holy moly, Rickdogg! I thought that was something you ginned up yourself. Daggone...I checked my own record with it and also used it to find out how many negs and neuts I've posted to others over the years. Where'd you find that? It's not on eBay itself, is it?

That link was introduced to me by a fellow board member on the CGC forum. It is not part of the ebay system, but it is a great tool; especially for those powersellers with thousands of feedback

Ebay emailed powersellers a newsletter a few months before the new feedback rating system was slowly integrated and asked for other suggestions on how they could improve the site. I suggested a feature which is similar to the link above, so hopefully they make something like this in the future.

Enjoy everyone.

thnx for sharing that neg/neut-check it....and it works too !!!

Rickdogg,

OUTSTANDING! I too thought it was some kind of mock-up, or wishful thinking. Just tried it.

Great contribution! Thanks!

I had no idea what you were all talking about, until I discovered that this feature is on eBay.com but not eBay.co.uk (although it works looking at UK auctions via eBay.com). How intriguing.

It's not on eBay, amh. It's an entirely different URL that works on eBay. Great, isn't it?

Great tool!!!, thanks for sharing.

AS Rules

This is great Rickdogg, I've bookmarked the page so I can use it again and again and ... well you know, again!

Thanks!!!

I can't figure out what you people are talking about. I went to this "click here", but all I get to is a general purpose "collecters forum" site to which there is nothing in regards to helping you change your ebay feedback listings....hmmm

The URL provided should take you to a post that has a person (notch_top) asking about feedback removal in a comics forum. The other URL takes you to a feedback search engine that weeds out neutrals and negative feedbacks given/received by an ebay user.

We'll see what eBay says, the problem was that I didn't have an item number because it was so old -so I made one up to complete ebay's form.

We'll see what happens.

I just received my first negative feedback too and it's a bummer after receiving over 150 positives. On top of that it was posted by a non-paying bidder who objected to shipping charges that were clearly spelled out and were not at all high.

I failed to follow my rule and here it is: wait 58 or 59 days after the close of the auction before you post any negative FB on anyone. The person who posted the negative on me did so in retaliation for the negative I posted on them for being a NPB. (Their 3rd for that.)

eBay does not allow any FB after 60 days so if you wait 59 days you are far less likely to get retaliated on for what happened to me.

Fortunately I think most people who have been on eBay for awhile recognize that there are a lot of morons out there and 99+% positive is still pretty good, but I'm pissed at losing my 100% to one of those deadbeat morons.

EBay will remove retaliatory negative feedback if you can demonstrate that it is truly that. I'm not familiar with the procedure but if you click on the little "search" icon above and check out the Forum archives on "retaliatory" you may learn how to go about it. There's a site on eBay also.

WOW!!! Rickdogg, That LINK is some great information. I have always wondered why there wasn't a way to pull up the negatives on the feedback pages. Especially when the seller/buyer has 15 negatives out of 4,000 sales...how can one find them???
I have had a disheartening (5) five negatives out of 366 ... from Three (3) 'Total Morons' and I can tell everyone that.... Ebay will not take them off... except maybe if you had a Court Order because the negative feedback was considered Slanderous in the eyes of the Court.
I do like bb66's idea of waiting until the 59th day if you need to leave a negative.
I always put any troublesome buyer or seller on my 'Blocked Bidder' list so that at least I don't ever have to deal with them again.

'If you're not worried, you're not paying attention.'

I must be the only person submiting to this post that DOESN'T like the new feedback boxes. I feel it gives a false sense of security to some people who will not bother to check the feedback, then again, some people never bothered anyway. A seller may have a 99% feedback rating but all the negs were about fraud, NOT a good place to bid! A seller may have several negs but they are all trivial nit picks. I still check manually, at least the ones for the last 6 months. Sellers can and do clean up their acts or fix problems with billing etc.

Interesting that the feedback information boxes are only on ebay.com and not eBay.co.uk, eBay.com.au, eBay.ca, eBay.fr, eBay.nl or eBay.de

I also like to see what the negatives are about, and what the person who got the negative had to say about the one who negged them. I like to know if it's something dumb, something I can live with, (such as "Seller took 4 days to contact me!!!"), or is it something that should raise a red flag and cause me to seriously reconsider dealing with them. I've hit the back button on more than a few auctions because of the type of negative feedback the seller had.
Right now I'm dealing with a seller who got negatives for slow e-mails, since, to me, that's notsomething worth negatives. And the item is great!!!!
