When I checked my 'My eBay' this morning I found that my feedback rating had jumped by about 20% - from just over 130 to 158 without any extra buys/sells. Looks like eBay s crediting buyers with postives from sellers who never bothererd to leave feedback or now counting multiple deals with the same seller as seperate . Looks like the latter, as in checking my feedback I can't see any additional comments.

Has this hppened to any one else

Cheers

Chris

Just checked mine and it hasn't changed and I have both multiple buys from same seller and buyers who have never left me any feedback.

I have just checked mine and it hasn't changed even though I am still waiting feedback from an Australian seller.

I have myself deliberately not left feedback in some cases where I was a bit unhappy with a purchase but feared getting a retaliatory negative comment left in response. I've had this happen to me where I left a justified neutral comment and so the guy left me a negative out of spite.

No, mines not gone up Chris, and likewise have had a few multiple purchases over the years (been on ebay sine 2001

)

Mine went up from 111 to 126 as well as my wife's account. She thinks it is from the multi seller/buyer .

New rules have come in on Monday, one is that Sellers cant leave negative feedback on buyers. Bit strange.

THey are now allowing multiple feedbacks from the same buyer or seller so if you had two feedbacks from one person in the past it only counted as one, now it is two. Oddly, mine did not change, I have several repeat customers.

I opened my account in 1999 and originally in the UK so even though mine has a home address now in OZ may still be considered a UK account which could be why mine hasn't changed and some OZ ones have.

Mine has blown out big time from 410 to 660

Just found this at the bottom of the My Ebay page, there is an announcment, open it and this is one part -

Members have been able to receive credit for weekly repeat Feedback (going back to 1996) since March.
The Positive Feedback Percentage will be based on the past 12 months of activity (and include neutral Feedback in the calculation).

Nick · Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 12:40 pm Post subject:

I was wondering why neutral feedback didn't effect the percentage score in the past.

I had 1 neutral, but it still said 100% positive. I am glad that was over a year ago, so I will still have 100% positive.

johnreid · Posted: Wed May 14, 2008 1:43 pm Post subject:

Neutral still doesnt change the percentage,it just doesnt increase or decrease the percent positive.

Finally got an email from eBay this morning, amongst other items, somewhere down near the bottom of the page, it said that buying from the same seller more than once counts now as an individual buy. They are back counting for a 12 month period.

John, it looksl ike it only applies to buyers not sellers, maybe that's why your feedback hasn't increased for buyers who have bought off you on more than one occassion,
