WOW when I went to bed last night my feedback score was 290, when I turned on the confuser this morning it had grown to 419 freeky or what, I didn't know I had done so much buying over night, there doesn't seem to be any more entries since yesterday, just what are they doing now. ]:)

Funny mine is still where it was a week ago at 153, It didn't grow at all. Jack

It all seems very strange, I've looked around and mine seems to be the only one that is different, maybe I got a bonus:^O, who knows, I sure don't. ]:)

[ginzokid]

Barry, It also shows that you have 1 neg and yet still have 100% feedback rating. Something is screwed up. That can't be possible. B-)

[barrysfp45]

What you say, ebay can't screw things up?I am still scratching my head and yes I saw the 100% rating with 1 neg, as I said, maybe I got a special bonus or dispensation, see how long it stays this way. ]:) Do you actually have the one neg? B-) yep it came about by a drop kick seller who sent the wrong stuff and wouldn't replace it with the right thing then wanted me to send it back and he would only refund the price less ebay commission, a real shonk, we battled back and forth for three days and I finally gave him a neg and said I just want the right item, he negd me with a whole tirade of abuse and the watch dogs at ebay missed it, so I was stuck, the wrong thing that I don't want and a neg on my feedback, shizen happens I guess. ]:) -- Edited by ginzokid at 05/14/2008 4:50 AM PDT -- Edited by barrysfp45 at 05/14/2008 5:14 AM PDT

Mine hasn't changed either. Enjoy the additional feedback...while it lasts!!!!!!!!

[barrysfp45]

When I signed in this morning there was a message from ebay saying that sellers can no longer give negative feedback, maybe that is why my rating is back to 100% still can't figure the increase in feedback though, I have noticed lately, any one I have already dealt with has increased my feedback whenever I have left new feedback for them, before it was just another number on the total score not a feedback increase, does this maybe have something to do with it, who knows, I don't. ]:)

[ginzokid]

This must have something to do with AZ Ebay only. No change to mine and no message about neg FB being prohibited either. I mean, if the buyer is a schnook, why shouldn't the seller be able to leave neg FB? You mean the buyer can neg the seller, but it doesn't work the other way around? Not fair! I'm going to check in the moderators group. B-)

[barrysfp45]

Now it seems to be making sense, I think?:| ]:)

Got an email from a friend stateside who is a member of the HO group, seems they have nearly 400 members and so far for June two members have signed in, looks like we aren't the only ones with little action, we do get a few more sign ins though. ]:)

[ginzokid]

With sales activity down overall at ebay the groups suffer too. Summer is always dead. B-)

I'll check into here even if I don't look at or buy anything from ebay. I might start buying a few MTL here and not at LHS. The new (few months ago) BN boxcar is on ebay for 14 bucks and 27 at LHS. Just requires careful planning and spending such as if there is a few cars I wanted and can get from one seller whose shipping is decent, then I will save extra.

Dave Check out steamer6060 store, I buy most of my M/T stuff from him now, I even order the new releases from him and he has one of the best international postage prices. ]:)
