When does eBay draw the line and say that they will no longer be a seller for eBay? I think it is all about greed, for eBay to continue to have sellers with so many negative comments! They will not get rid of them because eBay makes money off of them. But what about all the bad experiences these buyers are having with sellers like these??????? Shouldn't we be protected and have eBay eliminate sellers with so many negative comments?

Basically, eBay is not your mommy and perhaps viewing the seller feedback prior to forking over any money might be a real good plan. 

eBay no longer counts feedback, good or bad, for a seller's rating.   

Though just my opinion, ebay cares most about their "own experience" and making money as opposed to what happens to sellers or buyers.

Their are allot of good sellers here" and allot of good buyers" it is unfortunate as with any bushels you some bad apples .

that's what feedback is for. you think they have to many don't buy from them (but you still will) people tolerance for bad feedback varies greatly what you think is too much may not be for someone else. or if they have a ton of bad feedback that reflects not on the seller but the buyers themselves. read through them before you buy that's why there is feedback

eBay does not count feedback as any part of a seller ratings.  Feedback is subjective and is not in many instance a true picture of the transaction.  Sellers are not even able to leave buyers bad feedback even though we all know sometimes buyers are the problem.

eBay has very strict seller standards.  eBay sellers are rated monthly (20th of each month) on

• Top rated, above standard, below standard
• transaction defect rates (you can only have up to 2%)
• late shipping rates (less than 7% of your transactions)
• cases closed without seller resolution (less than 0.3%)
• Item not as described returns (service metrics)

When sellers fall below these standards they get restrictions and possible suspensions.  In some cases (service metrics) they pay higher fees.

Good Luck Selling!
