why did ebay change the feedback that I left for a seller

What do you mean by "change?"  Ordinarily eBay removes feedback that goes against any of their feedback policies but I haven't heard of them changing it.

@gpla3591,

If the feedback you left was supposed to be a positive but it showed up as a neutral or negative, (or some other combination of change) you may have accidentally clicked on the wrong button.  This happens a lot when people leave feedback from phones or tablets.

Most of the feedback you've left just says "satisfied".

I see just the one neutral for "slow shipping".  Is that the one you believe eBay changed? If so, do you remember what you said in your original FB?

I, too, have never heard of eBay changing the wording of a feedback statement.

If you disagree with any of my statements that is fine, but I'd prefer that you not cross through my words and insert yours.  Simply quote mine and write your own statement below or after it.

I am also seeing a trend of Ebay just outright deleting bad feedback I leave. I don't trust seller ratings anymore, they're fake.

Frankly, the feedback system hasn't been worth much, in my opinion, since 2008 when seller's were limited to giving positive feedback or none at all.  I do look  closely at the feedback comments left by a buyer for others and I pay particular to a buyer's bid retraction record. I block bidders with more than one retraction showing on their record when possible.

With regard to a seller's feedback record, I'm usually skeptical if the seller shows too many feedback revisions and I pay fairly close attention to the reasons buyers give for giving poor feedback for them.  While some feedback comments are well deserved, when they appear just to be nitpicking it is good to judge them on their merits.
