Low Feedback Scores
Ever since the feedback changes made it impossible for sellers to leave negatives or neutrals for sellers, I have been worried that this would reflect badly on sellers. It will make it more tempting to many buyers to be more demanding and hard to please. It looks to me as if it’s happened.
I’ve done plenty of eBay shopping this summer, and I have never, in eight years of using the site, seen so many low feedback numbers. It used to be relatively rare to see a feedback percentage under 97 percent, but I’m seeing that every time I search now. I’m seeing scores in the 94 percent range pretty often.
If anyone else is seeing this phenomenon, I would love to hear about it. If this really is occurring site wide, and not just in the searches I’m conducting, I think it’s something that all sellers need to be aware of.
As of today I have kept my 100 percent, but there’s no guarantee as to how long that will last. I’m expecting that any time now it will happen to me as well. If this weren’t the slow selling season, it probably would have occurred already.
