Now, this entices the seller to be honest and do everything to satisfy the buyer, and even give refunds if the item is not as described.. Something that eBay was really bad about..
Well now they have a "Malicious FeedBack" rule or someting of that nature. It states if a buyer s extorting you buy threatening to leave bad feedback if you dont do "x" to satisfy them.

But i guess what bothers me is this:

Ebay owns Paypal

You cant do anything to a BUYER for 19 days on EBAY. You now cant leave negative feedback.

Now, i have had someone buy an ECU from me on ebay on a Friday at 7pm. I respond to them an tell them their item will ship monday. Then the guy does a buyer dispute THAT SUNDAY because he says "he hasnt gotten trackng info". Paypal asks no questions they dont do anything an automatically put a hold on the money.

Ive had someone say i was slow to ship an leave me negative feedback when he won the auction April 16th, i shiped April 17th, and he had the item April 19th. LOL But i cant do ANYTHING to him, my feedback takes a negative strike for him being a complete moron, and there is nothing i can do.

I had someone buy a header from me online, an then say he doesnt want it anymore. I now have to wait 19 days before i can REPORT an unpaid item an recover the $25 in fees i have already paid. I cant even leave negative feedback saying hes a bad seller for buying my item an then not following through.

Just think they could of thought this through a little more. They have now opened it up to alot of dead beat bidders and we cant do anything as sellers about it. IMO.

Ill just have to require everyone to pay instantly now
