Proposal for the protection of ebay sellers

To:  Ebay

As sellers on ebay, we propose the following.

*Issue a system where the buyer cannot issue neutral or negative feedback without contacting the seller for a resolution first.
*Disallow any negative or neutral feedback which protests against faults or flaws which have been clearly described in the listing.
*Allow strikes to be made against any buyer who attempts to break the above rules.

While we agree that the buyer should be protected from dishonest sellers, we feel that not enough is being done to protect the seller from dishonest buyers.

A lot of people rely on ebay for their livelihood and one dishonest buyer leaving bad feedback can tip that balance easily.

The majority of sellers are honest people willing to rectify their mistakes.

A lot of mistakes made are out of the seller's control and can result from breakages in the mail, postal strikes as well as buyer's negligence while reading listings.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
