"Report this buyer" on FB page

Buying & Selling

Selling

I recently got a neg and just noticed something I've never seen before on my FB page.

Anyone else seeing this? It's been awhile since I've gotten a neg, so maybe they've been doing this for awhile?

I see it in the pic below. I believe it has been there for awhile, but I'm not sure.

No, I"m not talking about seeing it in that Quick Links location.

It's on the FB page next to the buyer's negative FB.

Sorry, I don't currently have any so I don't have the link. The one I provided above is the only one I see.

It's been there a while, but only turns up when there's a neg (and possibly a neutral, I can't remember).

Yes it's on my 1 neg too, and no I've never seen it before!

I think eBay might finally be realizing that not all buyers are good, especially if the bad ones are costing the company a lot of money. I've noticed they've been doing more to educate sellers on the fact that they can report buyers, and that doing so (in the case of false INAD returns) spares the seller from receiving a strike to their Seller Metrics.

I discovered examples of this just an hour or so ago, in the Help pages. Maybe someone good at using that 'way back machine' could refute or verify, but I don't remember seeing these blue-highlighted panels at the bottoms of these particular policy sections, urging sellers to report buyers.
