It has now been a reasonable period of time since Ebay made its most significant change to seller's "rights" by eliminating the option to leave Negative Feedback for buyers. While I admit that this hasn't led to the increase in feedback-blackmail from buyers that I had expected to encounter, I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT increase in "item not received" claims from International buyers over the last 6 months.
I can't help but wonder if International buyers have figured out "tracking" is often unrealistic (who is going to pay $15+ just to track a $30 game?) and now that Ebay has removed the last form of accountability, dishonest claims are rising...
Has anybody else has experienced a spike in "not received" claims, or have thoughts on why this may be happening? It is almost a weekly ritual now to find a new claim of "item not received" in my Inbox...
Note: "Just don't sell Internationally" does not address the above question and is not useful - though I will say that this new development is probably going to end up being "the last straw" for me altogether with Ebay.
