Re: eBay Should Leave Feedback

eBay needs to have an interactive transaction-based questionnaire for
the seller and the buyer. Based upon a short series of questions,
each party would input information concerning the transaction. The
software would evaluate if an open dispute would be appropriate or
provide feedback ratings and automatically post them for both parties.
If either party didn't complete the questionnaire, the default would
be a generic positive feedback. Completed questionnaires would
generate feedback based upon the answers given by each party. Of
course, this would apply to neutral and negative feedback as well.
Think those eBay programmers are up to the challenge? Hmmm...

Feedback is nice, but optional. eBay is only a venue, and they surely
don't need to get further into our knickers with something as
complicated at this. Yes, complicated. Some people live for feedback.
Others, though, just want to list something for sale and some people
just want to buy it. They have no desire for some eBay "big brother"
program to be evaluating the nuances of their private transaction.

Feedback started as a way to build trust in sellers, but today it is
broken and useless. And there are fixes much simpler than your idea.
