Sellers will no longer be able to leave neutral or negative feedback for buyers starting this May, in hopes that buyers will leave more truthful feedback on sellers without fear of retaliation. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Some sellers will get screwed no doubt, but it seems like it would level the field somewhat in the long run.
Other neat bits (from that URL above):
* Beginning in February, buyers and sellers will be able to earn up to one Feedback per week from the same trading partner. Today, members may only affect each other's Feedback scores one time, regardless of the number of transactions between the parties. This change will both encourage repeat transactions and reward good service.
* Positive Feedback percentage will be based on the past 12 months of Feedback, rather than lifetime, since it is most indicative of the seller's recent performance.
