Buyers should leave honest Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings.
I agree surely if a seller is crap then we should be able to comment. Looks like QXL or Ebid may become more popular.

Seems like Ebay is as determined as Paypal to allow fraudulent buyers being able to claim non-delivery and reclaim of funds without fear of reprisals
or is that just me??
Think i am going to start offering nothing but "signed for" postage in future regardless of price
Yep its putting me off to.
But what are you going to do when they have the job sewn up ?

It's a shame ebid has'nt really become more popular (I paid an upfront fee of about £1 years ago for a gold account so no fees)
Don't use paypal either - thank god 
Just like Exchange & Mart and Loot ruled the roost back in the day,Ebay too will eventually go west.
I don't know what all the fuss is about paypal and ebay. No-one is forced to use it. But if you do then you are selling to a wide audience and
part of the deal is they'll charge you for the priviledge. Price your item accordingly, sent it insured with POD and you won't have too many
issues.
As a buyer I think I've just been ripped off (seller no longer a registered user and hasn't sent the goods) but the loss is small and paid
via paypal so I'll get it back eventually. That's a better position than I'd be in had I bought via a classified ad or some other
private sale.
surely a seller has the right to leave negative feedback (where warranted) if the buyer is slow to pay, or generally just messed about
I had issues when I tried to list an item lately but managed for now to get round it:

ive come to ferment a real hatred towards ebay now, and in honesty, with the advent and growing popularity of forums dedicated to all manner of
interests surely these are the places to sell things?
I would say of my internet purchases, easily 80% have come from adverts from forums where 90% of the time the people are genuine, the goods are as
descrived, and the people are relatively friendly!
Above all else, with a forum, you are advertising directly to the demographic that will probably want to buy what you've got!

Ebay has changed a lot nearly all the sellers are now businesses.
I don't sell anything on ebay anymore after dealing with a complete nutter and getting no protection from ebay.
--- I still buy occaisionally but for me it now more a way of finding vendors who sell certain more specialist products. For example I bought a
touch up spray gun this week that has a much smaller nozzle than most touch up spray guns --- more like a big air brush.
