Sadly, buyers are all to quick to leave negative feed back. Regardless of the sellers intent to remedy
the issue, buyers pounce. Very typical of our society today; entitled, vitriolic, and overly self indulgent with a false sense of self worth. Yet, 40 R% of my buyers do not leave any feedback. On balance that hurts as the
threshold for Top rated is easily punctured by the few. If ebay was supportive of their sellers as opposed to the almighty dollar, they could do the following:(just an exercise in rhetoric since I know nothing will be done based on historical input).
1.Require buyers to contact the seller before leaving negative feed back and attempt to resolve any issue.
Personally, when buyers contact me, I immediately work with them to resolve all issues. Yes, I understand that there are many s-bag sellers who don't care and ignore buyers. At the very least, ebay could monitor which sellers are genuine AND WHICH ARE MOST LIKE THEM, "SHOW ME THE MONEY".
2. Since buyers choose not to be bothered leaving feedback, after 60 days, ebay could automatically assign a positive feedback. It is reasonable to assume if the buyer did not have any issues after 60 days, then they are happy. It is like a subscription that automatically renews in the absence of a directive to the contrary; patterned response is the legal phrase. As previously stated, this is just an exercise in futility since we all know ebay will kick these suggestions to the curb.
