https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-Seller-Board/Removal-of-feedback-ratings/m-p/7929197#M338347 <P>Thank you for the replies; there have obviously been some big changes to feedback this year. As RROAN mentioned in the previous post, it is now not possible to address poor buyer behaviour through comments on&nbsp; positive feedback, I did try; it was removed and I was warned. How is that supposed to work when it is not possible to leave negative or neutral feedback for a buyer?&nbsp;</P><P>I assume ebay's definition of a business has not changed and that is someone who buys or manufactures to sell? I definitely do not fit that profile at all but there are a lot that do on ebay that are trading under a private account. Whilst I do not begrudge them, it is obvious from this experience that ebay do not take any action when such an account is reported.</P><P>Porte2425 comment about needing a thick skin to sell online is very accurate and it needs to get thicker by the day. Sadly, even though my nickname was Rhino, I do not have a thick skin and find the significant and progressive erosion of values, brought about or at least facilitated by ebay, distressing. Has anyone else noticed how a lot of these younger buyers can't even be bothered to leave positive feedback any more; I am getting an amount of ebay auto feedback nowadays; another of ebay's ways of insulating the ungrateful, I suppose. Leaving feedback is an important part of the process and a consistent failure to leave feedback is a good indicator of poor character in my experience; ebay care about it enough to leave auto feedback; they should really do more.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Ebay seem to be acting as a rather unsatisfactory parent to these people with all the special needs included; not of course desirable when people with values are suffering as a direct result and clearly paying for that privilege.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</P><P>Sadly ebay's position is insurmountable but there is some evidence that not everyone is happy on trustpilot, where 81% of the 20000+ reviews are the lowest one star.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</P> Tue, 16 Sep 2025 17:49:23 GMT mx5bitz_uk 2025-09-16T17:49:23Z
