I’ve left approximately 25% more feedback than I’ve received.  I understand that feedback is not compulsory, but one has to wonder what motivates an eBay user to choose to leave or not to leave feedback.  Interestingly, I get more feedback when I’m participating in eBay as a buyer capacity than as a seller.  As a seller, I generally leave feedback first, so retaliatory feedback shouldn’t be my buyer’s concern.  However, in many cases, retaliatory feedback or the potential for retaliatory feedback is a significant factor in why eBay’s feedback system is dysfunctional.  Sellers generally refuse to leave feedback until after the bidder has expressed satisfaction with the transaction by leaving a positive feedback.  While eBay is expending a significant number of resources on Feedback 2.0 in an effort to improve the system, they are ignoring a root issue that significantly degrades the functionality and value of feedback.  eBay must fix the retaliatory feedback issue.

You may have already discovered that selling on eBay can be fun and profitable. But after you’ve cleared out your garage and attic, and auctioned off everything your husband owns, where can you go to get new product ideas? Read more

According to eBay’s corporate blog, the auction site’s message boards were hacked sometime before the morning of September 25th.  Hackers posted contact information and credit card numbers for approximately 1,200 eBay users.  eBay was careful to point out that the information came from sources other than eBay or PayPal.  The bogus posts were removed and eBay stated they were attempting to contact the individuals who had their personal information disclosed so that they might take appropriate precautions.  eBay went on to state that they suspected the hacker or hackers used compromised usernames and passwords harvested from phishing scams.

Here are some eBay sellers who know how to leave some good feedback:
