eBay Suggestions
What's Suggestions:
Suggestions is meant to be a person generated metric that shows the transaction history and satisfaction stage achieved by patrons and sellers within the eBay marketplace.
After a transaction is completed, that means a buyer has successfully won an auction and paid and a seller has obtained payment and shipped item efficiently to purchaser: feedback ought to be left by each parties.
Suggestions options embody: positive , unfavorable , impartial
Constructive meaning you might be glad. Adverse meaning you might be dissatisfied and Neutral that means you're dissatisfied but afraid to openly state it.
A Impartial suggestions level must be interpreted as a unfavourable when evaluating a vendor or buyers feedback historical past.
Feedback:
A consumer might enter their own specific feedback regarding the auction. Commonly customers simply enter some ass kissing remark like:
A+++++++ Seller would purchase from again
Thanks!
Nice Buyer, Highly really helpful
The way to judge a sellers honesty/reliability by way of feedback:
It could appear a reasonably simple system to understand,
positive
damaging
Sadly, its not quite that easy.
Generally, I'd do my analysis earlier than bidding on a seller with less than a 99.6% suggestions score, perhaps if the vendor has a quite low transaction historical past and just one unfavourable that has severely effected their percentage, i may be prepared to provide a second chance.
Lets consider Vendor: MovieMarz (vendor id chosen at random via google search)
Transaction history: 323 277 transactions in the last 12 months
Constructive Feedback: ninety eight.1%
Optimistic: 313701
Detrimental: 4523
Neutral: 5053
So all though this vendor has over a quarter million profitable sales and a high percentage, they nonetheless have close to 10,000 dissatisfied clients.
I find that to be unacceptable.
This example is an old screenshot, the vendor remains to be energetic and has actually raised the feedback stage to 98.7%, so lets see what the unhappy patrons needed to say:
Destructive suggestions ranking it has been 28+ days & no product & no response from my contact attempts.
paid for item, never received item, then claimed I by no means paid for the merchandise.
Merchandise by no means received, did receive refund. vendor did not have item bought to me
ITEM BY NO MEANS OBTAINED. CONTACTED SELLER..NONETHELESS NOT REC'D 40 DAYS LATER!
Nicely, considering the vendor seems to close actually a whole bunch of auctions a day, i can perceive how some might slip by the cracks, however how does the seller respond, after receiving unfavorable suggestions do they attempt to fix the issue, it looks as if no.
There isn't a observe up suggestions, explaining or apologizing for the issue, and no suggestions eliminated (which might be finished if a buyer and vendor negotiate a compromise).
So in conclusion, this sellers high transaction quantity allows them to depart a wake of dissatisfaction and nonetheless keep what seems to be an acceptable honesty level.
I might not bid.
Seller to Purchaser:
A sensible vendor should benefit from each alternative to advertise their respective brand.
A patrons solely duty is to pay
Perhaps, a vendor can inform his peers on different info necessary to the vendor community
Optimistic suggestions needs to be left if a purchaser pays.INTERVAL, but the comment can perhaps state how lengthy the client took to pay?
i.e. Purchaser paid three days after auction close, thanks!
Buyer paid immediately.
But, on no account does that promote the vendor, so perhaps.
(Utilizing the previous vendor instance)
Get all of your films quick from Moviemarz Quick cost appreciated!
As a seller it is best to take each opportunity to release your brand into the marketplace, after ninety days the small print of your transaction are gone -so use your comment to push your products!
Purchaser to Vendor:
Detailed Seller rankings exist to delineate the next transaction details:
Item as described
Shipping and Dealing with Costs
On account of this feature, I feel buyers should use feedback to help their friends additional by adding necessary particulars.
i.e. Vendor shipped identical day payment sent!
packaged so properly an infant would have survived!
Acquired item but was shipped by way of Media, i paid for precedence!
Sellers can't leave unfavourable suggestions!
Sellers can no longer depart damaging suggestions, so a buyer can actually say just about anything they need.
So now that I have defined how feedback needs to be managed and interpreted,
What when you simply wrote anything you felt like:
Properly that is precisely what this comedic genius does:
Meet: tryork5ifp - The funniest man on eBay and the number one search outcome for "funniest feedback ever", multiple diggs and blog posts relating to his work cowl the online!

Apparently, eBay caught on to this genius and began to drag his feedback
He responded by reposting in his ebay blog!

He inspired copycats (this comment was beforehand on his feedback profile)

Couldn't read the screens hots at all, so the humor here was lost. I've been both a purchaser and a seller on ebay and might inform you there's plenty of fraud on that web site. That's the reason I stopped selling and am very cautious the place I buy. Ebay does not assist its sellers. Mailing off a product to a purchaser who does not pay is a nightmare and never with the ability to leave damaging comments is aggravating. Patrons use this to control sellers and it sucks. Couldn't take it any more and while humor is sweet, ethics are more necessary. I could write a hub of my own about this challenge. Interesting hub, although.

Hmmm Sunforged. You managed to publish an interesting and quite funny hub right here, which for some odd motive I haven't learn it. I guess that shouldn't be too much of a surprise considering I don't use Ebay. LOL! :) Voted up and humorous! Nice hub! :)
