Is It Fair to Display 3 Feedback Comments inside eBay Listings?

The drug cartels pay bills for millions of people Tool, no one cares about your personal cheerleading for criminals, there are people in Mexico that fight with guns for the cartels because they believe that killing others to make money is the way forward.

@Goo Goo

What do mexican drug cartels have to do with buying and selling on eBay?

Are you OK?

@ Marie

Amazing how "some posters" are so self righteous they actually BLEED ignorance.
Blinded by facts and driven by the need to be the pragmatist in charge.

@Tool
You are very small. Infinitesimal in fact. Those mentioned silly tools of yours and your broken down corvette are a drop of ink in comparison to what Ebay has TAKEN from your pockets unduly.  You seem to celebrate being treated like a caged subordinate, center ring, under Barnum's big-top. You are a regular Oliver Twist upon the midway.

by: Goo Goo

I guess you missed the point Tool, it is looking the other way as long as you are taken care of financially, you can overlook the crimes being committed as long as you get yours and think it is all good.

another stupid change that did not need to be done.

make stupid changes and ignore all the glitches that come up on a hourly basis

the walmart dope just keeps proving to everyone that he really is a dope.

by: Goo Goo

RL15, he can't be real bright, all eBay has done is lost sales continuously since Jamie Walmart was hired, his business plan was expanding Devin Wenig's promoted listing scams x10, he sure did not pay attention to any of the returned sellers surveys we filled out, that is a fact.

"but when has eBay EVER been fair to sellers?"

Got a minute?

Sit down and I'll tell you of a recent encounter I had on eBay and with eBay customer service.

I bought an item from a seller who sells new items, the item I received was missing pieces.

I requested a return as item not as described. In the package I added a note that I would prefer a replacement over a refund.

The seller receives the package and eBay refunds me.

3 days later I get a package with a replacement item.

Now I have the item and a refund. Being the honest John I am I called eBay and asked how I could pay this seller as I expect nothing for free.

Ebay tells me they have no procedure in place for me to pay the seller after the transaction has closed.

They suggest I pay them with Paypal and I ask how are they going to get their commission if I pay thru Paypal? They respond we aren't but that's OK because both you and the seller are honest and they said they were happy all turned out OK.

I would say eBay helped that seller by not charging fees on a transaction they were losing out on postage.

I ended up sending the seller a personal check. . . . . .

"Ebay has TAKEN from your pockets unduly."

Here's where we differ in our thinking.

In my mind I got a FAIR deal from eBay for the service they provided.

I know what the fees are and I willingly list on the eBay website.

I find it to be a good place to buy and sell and have done so for over 25 years.

"you can overlook the crimes being committed "

I've said it more then once here, what California Penal code has eBay broken?

Good stream of consciousness comments, but....

Is it fair to display comments inside of eBay listings?

by: toolguy

"Is it fair to display comments inside of eBay listings?"

Sure why not?

I'm signed in under my account, went to look at some of my wife's listings, i see the feedback towards the bottom. The last comment she got was STELLAR and it makes her sound like the best seller on Earth. lol

It's just more clutter mixed in with all the other non essential clutter!

After all these years I pretty much ignore all the stuff.

@Walk Away

I don't have the need to call anyone names.  Not you or anyone else.  We may see things differently, but I respect your right to do that.  However some here seem to think if they can't bend you to agree with them then name calling is in order.  I stand by what I said before.  

Which was "Amazing how some posters here seem to think it makes someone else look bad when they take the time to call them names because they don't agree with them.  It is exactly the opposite.  I believe we are all adults here, maybe I'm wrong."

It is fine that you don't agree with me.  I don't mind.  But that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

The bottom line about eBay

NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY OR SELL THERE

You do it freely and willingly so stop complaining

by: pace306

"NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO BUY OR SELL THERE"

That's NOT carte blanch to hurt or abuse people "just because you can" (at least *I* dont do such things - wont speak for anyone else)

by: Fruitylovesyou

I think someone should set up a mondo feedback system about eBay and let them carry that commentary wherever they go

by: Marie

@pace

"That's NOT carte blanch to hurt or abuse people."  Tool didn't say anything remotely close to that.  

He simply asked a great question.  I realize that you still sell on Ebay.  I'm sure you do that because as much as you complain about them, you still make money.  But still if it is all as bad as you say it is for you, there are other places to sell.  Your choice of course, I do respect that.

The 3 feedbacks displayed are NOT THE MOST CURRENT 3. Is ebay purposely picking a neutral feedback I received, 7 positions previous to display in all my listings? Ebay does not show my comment to the neutral in the 3 they display at the bottom of all my listings. This is another reason not to trust ebay.  

by: Marie

While I don't like it either, it is just one more click to get all the member's feedback.  The button appears below those 3 FB you see.

by: toolguy

@Bird Mad,

you have a legitimate complaint if that is happening, I for sure wouldn't like it.

Call eBay and see what they can do about it, I know it's way harder to get thru now days, almost impossible. . . .But if you try hard enough you will, we always do.
