Ebay doesn't care.
I believe that most of you leaving post (granted I haven’t read them all) are not seeing the true nature of the Ebay business transaction. Ebay makes all their money from the seller therefore...
Ebay doesn’t give a Rat’s Ass about you.
As long as all the revenue comes from the sellers the rules will always lean to the sellers favor. If a buyer, who has gotten screwed from a seller that pays lots of transaction fees, files a claim, ebay is certainly going to rule in favor of the one who pays it’s bills. The fact is that the reason Ebay has not revised it’s feedback policy is because it’s written to make them more money.
The only way Ebay is ever going to start treating buyers fairly is if it has to do so to outdo the competition. Seeing how there is no real competition a the present, the only true advice I can leave is for the sellers. Always pay your ebay fees for every transaction on time and it doesn’t matter if you ever ship anything to your buyers. Ebay will still be happy with you.
