I just bought 6 of the same item from a seller and he left me 6 x positive feedback but it has only shown as 1 positive feedback on my account?

Anyone know why?

Cheers

That's the way it is !

To stop feedback rigging

If you buy off the same person for feebcak reasons all the transactions are counted as on in your total but shown seperatly in your feedback section

Presumably you did them as one order?

It's to stop people getting friends to pump up their feedback by buying 1000 washers on individual auctions.

Yep all in one order, bugger.

Never mind

Don't think it makes any difference that they are all in one order - you can only get feedback from a particular buyer / seller once.

I think it's a good way of doing it.

But then the whole feedback system is rubbish these days when no one is willing to leave a negative feedback because they know they'll just get a retaliatory one in return. Personally I think if you pay immediately by Paypal you should automatically get your +ve buyer feedback thus leaving you free to tell the truth about the seller if and when you receive your item without worrying about what they might do in return.

Sorry, I digress

I think you should both have to do the feedback without being able to see the other persons. The scores only release when both parties have entered the feedback.

I agree, it sucks that as a buyer you pay quickly and send all your details etc, and still get hit with -ve feedback if you said something the seller didn't like.

You get the overall total if you click on someone's feedback - although in smaller sized font!

Pat...

It works both ways though, buyers are protected far more than sellers by ebay/paypal, if a buyer claims 'it didn't arrive' paypal will refund them pretty much by default, it's very difficult to get your money back as a seller even if you can prove it was sent. If sellers left good feedback as soon as a buyer paid they'd be leaving themselves open to the seller pulling whatever fast one they felt like, or just to some whinging tit deciding to complain because they paid £3 postage but there's only £2.80 worth of stamps on it, or it didn't arrive by 9.00am the day after ordering at 11.30 at night. No thanks
