Have you ever sold anything on Ebay? I guess these days, almost everyone has. If you haven't sold anything in a while, you my be interested to know that, If you are selling an item on ebay, you can no longer leave negative or nutral feedback on the buyer. (or the deadbeat that refuses to pay you, for that matter)

What do you say to something like this? What it means is, every buyer that ever buys anything on Ebay will have either 100% positive feedback, or "0" feedback. It means that if you sell an item, that you probably paid good, honest, hard cash for, any deadbeat problem child can be bidding on it, and you'll never know!

I guess I can only suggest, if you continue to do business on Ebay, the only form of weak protection you can have, is too not accept bidders with under a positive feedback rating of 20 or so. This of course doesn't prevent any fool from bidding and driving up the auction and preventing honest bidders from winning.

Sellers, you now have no protection and are at the mercy of any troublemaker (even those who have been banned from ebay in the past) who wants to play around on your auction, or just not pay you.

They of course, can leave negative feedback about you at any time and ruin your business or reputation.
