Ebay sucks now

[GameMaster]

Another reason eBay isn't so great anymore is because seller's aren't allowed to leave feedback to buyers. Or maybe its the other way around. But I thought that was wack.

I understand why they did it, because the revenge-feedback was a problem, but the complete removal of feedback for buyers was a horrible way to deal with it.

As it is, I don't know what there is to stop people from bidding and then simply never paying, beyond the overly obtuse experience that is going through eBay to file complaints

It's far less dangerous for a Seller than for a buyer, though. If someone buys something and then never pays for it, at least the seller keeps the item, since they don't ship until they receive their money.

I think a better option might have been for the feedback to not appear until both parties had left it, though.

What's really terrible is the introduction of anonymous bidding, so that you can know longer know who you're bidding against and whether or not they're bidding on similar items.

And they took out buying and selling histories.

Now that I think about it, that's perfect.

And I don't really like the 5-star seller rating system. It doesn't really reflect individual cases very well. But I guess it's better than nothing.
