For Sellers in On-line Auctions

That was the old policy; now a seller can not initiate negative feedback, only a buyer.A seller can respond to the negative feedback once it has been given, however it does not count as a negative feedback for the buyer.

Recent events indicate that it is time to bump this thread up for scrutiny again.

eBay's own discussion forums (select 'discussions' and then 'selling' or 'shipping & returns') include a lot of horror stories from sellers on that platform. I have had a few bumps and pauses in selling a few hundred of items from Lew's collection via that platform, but no disasters yet - so - at least in the categories relevant to our field of interest - I'd say at least 99% of buyers are good. But, as there are huge numbers of transactions, things can go very wrong now and then and I'd advise anyone considering selling on-line these days to follow some of the stories evolving there and also to heed the advice given by experienced sellers.

Something is funny there besides fraud.
When I followed the link I found that I had just joined ebay today.
I joined iirc in '97.

Mine said the same thing Rick. Maybe that is the date we first joined that particular forum.
