Nukey Shay Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 Take a system that has so much potential to be corrupted and then wonder why things go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted January 24, 2003 Author Share Posted January 24, 2003 Dammit! I was racing over here to post that same link! Think I'll go leave oesii some negative FB.... lol, I was convinced it was already posted in off-topic or something but I didn't see it. I check my Yahoo mail regularly and saw this pop up on their headlines so I thought it would already be here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 The lawsuit is absurd. This guy doesn't have a chance against Ebay. Hmmmmmmm maybe that's why rumors have been circulating about Ebay revamping its feedback forum to protect against retalatory negative feedback.

bcprs1 Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 A great idea for ebay is to not post the feedback until the both the buyer and seller have filled it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 A great idea for ebay is to not post the feedback until the both the buyer and seller have filled it out. Interesting idea. This could result in less overall feedback being posted if only one party leaves feedback, or more overall feedback if it encourages people to leave feedback knowing they won't get any in return if they don't leave it. However, if someone *has* been burned by a seller (for example), that seller would be stupid to leave feedback for the other person knowing they'll probably receive a negative. This would probably mean we'd see less negative feedback when sellers (or buyers) are worried that the other party might leave negative feedback for them. I don't know if there's a simple solution to the feedback problem.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy-sixer Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I don't see how the guy came up with the 2.5 million dollar figure. Well, I guess the lawyers did. Maybe this is a little off the subject, but if a buyer wins 5 of my auctions and then posts 5 positive feedbacks for me, why does it only count for 1 in my feedback rating? What's the reasoning behind that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 I don't see how the guy came up with the 2.5 million dollar figure. Well, I guess the lawyers did.

What's the reasoning behind that? It prevents 'selling' feedback. Otherwise I could buy 1000 items from you at .01 cent apiece and give you 1,000 feedback. And don't think feedback selling doesn't happen already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeD Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Do you think the guy sueing eBay is still a member of ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloatedmonkey Posted January 25, 2003 Share Posted January 25, 2003 Someone's always got to call the cops on the party. I've gotten a couple negative comments that were slanderous (my favorite is "this guy plays with doo-doo"). But it certainly hasn't ruined my reputation. It's just going to make things harder for us that enjoy the ebay experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
