I e-mailed the Aus seller and I now have my feedback.

Just remembered.......

I bought a drill chuck from my normal tooling supplier, 3 weeks ago.

I thought it strange at the time, when my feedback count increased.

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


Just checked and mines gone up by 200    

The person Ive dealt with a lot over the years has gone up from 4500 to 9000    

Must be the change in multiple buys from the same dealer

They've also changed the feedback scoring to be over 12 months instead of eternal, so mine has gone up to 100% . I had one negative from my first buy, because the money order arrived 3 days later than the stipulated 7 days - unfortunately I was a newbie and the seller didn't bother to communicate - just left neg feedback. He actually started as case against me and then, when he found out he was in the wrong, dropped the whole thing, still leaving me with the neg feedback, and there was nothing I could do about it,     .

The new system now rights an obvious wrong,    

Cheers    

Chris

Mine went from 160 to 171, but the Neutral that I got as a Buyer still remains.
Tried to leave feedback on the SR1a jerk but cant do it, even when going through the Auction page. Ho well, at least he didnt get a positive.

My rating just went up from 105 to 123.

Is it just me that thinks this is stupid.
Now Scam sellers can sell multiple items for 1 cent each to another false account and overnight get themselves a high rating which unless people go and read his ratings rather than just looking at the number they will look like a good ebayer.

I also lost my 100% positive because of the neutral left by that jerk that I paid within seconds of the Auction end and paid a high shipping fee only to have the guy send it a month later Postage Due.

This isnt in the least bit fair.

So sellers can only leave positive or nothing at all? They can not leave a negative or a neutral?

Just noticed that I now have 100% feedback rating  (previously it was 99.7%).    So the idiot who deliberately gave a negative when he pulled out of an auction has finally been cancelled out under the new rules.

I've also noticed that on the bidders list on something I'm bidding for it's just showing Bidder1, Bidder2 etc.  The item price is currently £3.45  it previously only did that for auctions over £100  so it seems it's doing it for all amounts now.

Its been like that in OZ for a couple of months now so they have obviously rolled it out to UK too now.
