I’ve been so out of touch with the eBay world, that I completely didn’t see that I now have 158 points on my feedback score instead of 147, due to the new counting method that gives credit for repeat buyers.

Then I remembered to check in at the Computer Help for A(uction) L(isting) Boardies Group that I’d set up years ago. There was even a question there waiting for me. eBay in its oh-so-infinite wisdom still doesn’t want me participating in the .com Forums, yet they don’t mind if I use .ca or the .com Groups. A couple of the Moderators a few years ago took a dislike to me and gave me the boot, and a year later when they’d moved on/were forced out/whatever, a better employee reinstated my ability to post questions and answers to the Canadian forums. Until they reinstate me further, it’s unlikely I’ll bother supporting eBay by selling anything there regularly (or even occasionally).

The Ebay feedback change was very controversial among sellers… Many complained that they now can’t do anything is the buyer doesn’t pay etc.

eBay is run from the perspective of the buyers COMPLETELY, and has been for at least the last 4 years. I’ve been paying attention since 2002 (and less so the last 2 years). Expect eBay to continue to decline as an interesting marketplace where people can start a business from home.

Thank you for your insight. There are days I would agree.
