Ebay is competing against Amazon. Amazon sellers don’t leave feedback for buyers. Amazon is safer for buyers.

As a buyer, I’m happy with this new change. Now, I can honestly rate the seller without retaliatory feedback.

Sellers are FINALLY going to have to give good customer service, not over charge on shipping, and actually give good descriptions.

The big thing for sellers is this:

When will PayPal release the eBay item hold?

PayPal will release the hold when the earliest of the following occurs:

* the buyer leaves positive feedback, * 3 days after confirmed item delivery* or * 21 days without a dispute, claim, chargeback, or reversal filed on that transaction.

* This applies to US domestic transactions that are shipped by USPS or FedEx and either (i) use PayPal shipping labels to ship items or (ii) upload tracking information to PayPal via the transaction details page.

I dabble in Ebay now. Besides Amazon, what other alternatives are out there? I haven't had any success with Craigslist.

In a way, I would hate to shut down since I have such a good feedback rating (mostly as a seller).

“Amazon sellers don’t leave feedback for buyers.”

Yes they do, and Amazon typically sends follow-up e-mails asking the buyer to rate the sale.
