you have to choose all 3 options (I just found that out!)
ie .. select all 3 of these…

I have contacted or tried to contact the seller to resolve issues

I have allowed enough time for the item to arrive

My comment is factual and avoids personal remarks

So if you have a bad experiance what are you suppost to do? I can see both sides being a seller and a buyer. I never leave feedback 1st to people who buy from me.

That's the way that I am, too. I always wait for others to leave feedback in case a situation arises that I need to take care of first, which has happened.

Ebay’s fees pushed me away a long time ago. Plus they get to double dip since they bought Paypal. Now if they that they are incorporating this, I will never sell on Ebay again even if they reduce the fees.

As much as I would like to throw in the towel on eBay it has helped me scoop up a lot of money in the past. Selling things like iPods and cameras go for a lot more on there than you could ever hope to get trying to sell it on your own.

I can't wait to see the feedback they get from people once these things do go live, but I don't think that they are going to be welcomed with open arms. I think it will take more than a week before they'll change their minds, but in the end I'm not so sure that these changes are for the better.

Yeah, this coupled with the crappy new listing and final value fees may be enough for me to stop selling on ebay.
