...changes to feedback - from May they are proposing to only allow sellers to leave positive feedback for buyers - meaning all buyers will have 100% feedback (unless they get banned from the site for repeated non-payment) and increasing risk of feedback extortion / wrecking by buyers who can still leave negative and neutral against sellers. They also seem to be encouraging sellers to leave feedback as soon as the buyer has paid rather than waiting until the transaction is closed (ie the buyer pays, confirms receipt of goods and happy with purchase)
...forcing higher volume sellers to register as business accounts and forcing all business account holders to display business address on item page (in many cases the home address!) -not entirely at odds with this as it is to comply with law but sympathise with some of the complaints regarding this change
... also some issues for Powersellers discounts will be difficult to achieve with new feedback powers for buyers from May
... probably others but have to go make sure our dinner's not burning! lol
(think I went on the wrong strike!
