    Default Buddy points system unfair!

    I would like to see buddy points awarded for sales (after four weeks) on sales that do not receive feedback!

    Sellers are losing out under the present system.

    Have to agree on this. After all eBid get the FVF if feedback is left or not. Maybe take the points back for a negative or neutral.

    Surely we need changes to feedback rather than buddy points.
    Perhaps there is one thing that Ebay get right, the pressure to leave feedback?

    Even on the bay many neglect to leave FB.

    I reckon after 4 weeks a positive feedback should be awarded.

    Surely if the user does not leave feedback the best you could be awarded with no reference is Neutral, which doesn't gain points anyway.

    As Buddy Points are an eBid 'giveaway' I am always reluctant to tell them how they should award them.

    I prefer Pinks idea, pushing buyers to leave feedback could be detrimental as it could annoy the buyers

    I reckon if you bought it and it's ok,then it's job done.
    No complaints, in this modern world you want what you want now!


    I want my buddy points!

    Buddy points are a privilege and not a right OP. If you had your own website would you expect feedback?
