It now favors the dishonest and unscrupulous buyer, and is an even bigger joke when you get the thick ones a how don't know how to use the scoring properly. I don't think that allowing seller to give negative feedback to buyers would do any good. But eBay definitely need to give some guidance as to scoring, and provide some kind of appeal procedure for untrue, unfair, and inappropriate feedback.I regularly get buyers mark me down for postage, when in reality, it is always posted the day after payment, unless the PO is closed, and the cost is nearly always LESS than I charge the buyer. Simply because the buyer is incapable, of reading that the item is posted from Spain, (UK is my main market), and I cannot control the inadequacies of the postal service. I don't have the facility at present to beam it to them like in Star Trek.

I've noticed multiple purchases from the same seller are, in some cases, no longer combined and I've had reports from sellers they can't find a way to produce combined invoices. This sucks. Right now I am trying to pay a seller for 3 items, split across 2 invoices and the option to adjust the total is no longer available so I can't take advantage of the combined postage discount I've been offered. Neither can the seller find any way to group these purchases. Such a task used to be easy, not any more. My remedy is to mark the purchases as paid in eBay and then send a direct Paypal payment to the seller's email address. Is eBay deliberately trying to make life difficult? Don't they bother testing functionality before rolling out these 'enhancements?'

LVMH said eBay's French site had not done enough to stop the sale of counterfeit bags and perfumes. The brands affected include Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior and Givenchy. An eBay statement said LVMH was trying to "protect uncompetitive commercial practices at the expense of consumer choice" and added that it would appeal. 'Illicit' The case against eBay in a commercial court in Paris was brought jointly by six brands belonging to the LVMH group. Louis Vuitton Malletier, the group's handbag and luggage section, and clothing brand Christian Dior Couture accused eBay of "negligence" in allowing illegal copies of their goods to be sold in online auctions. Four perfume brands - Dior, Guerlain, Kenzo and Givenchy - sued for what they called "illicit sales" of their products. They alleged that even auctions involving their legitimate perfumes were illegal, because only specialist dealers were permitted to sell them. The court barred eBay from selling the four perfumes in future. LVMH spokesman Pierre Godet welcomed the decision, telling French news agency AFP that it "protected brands by considering them an important part of French heritage". 'Uncompetitive' But Vanessa Canzini, an eBay spokeswoman, said: "If counterfeits appear on our sites, we take them down swiftly, but today's ruling is not about our fight against counterfeit. "Today's ruling is about an attempt by LVMH to protect uncompetitive commercial practices at the expense of consumer choice and the livelihood of law-abiding sellers that eBay empowers everyday. "We will fight this ruling on their behalf; we will be seeking leave to appeal." According to the judgement, eBay must pay 19.28m euros in damages to Luis Vuitton Malletier, 17.3m to Christian Dior Couture and 3.25m to the perfume brands. The BBC's Hugh Schofield in Paris says the ruling is seen as a landmark, because it could oblige eBay to rethink its business model. Until now, this has been built around the simple notion of bringing together buyers and sellers, with minimal supervision from the company. The penalty is the second in a month imposed on eBay by French courts. On 4 June, a court in the eastern French city of Troyes found the auction site directly responsible for the sale of fake Hermes bags. It imposed a penalty of 20,000 euros jointly on eBay and the woman who offered the bags for sale.
