because they now count if you win several items from the same person
you get credit for each item instead one one from one person you
bought 10 things from.
Consider this scenario (I keep thinking of them because there's soooo
much potential for problems now). If you bought 10 items from one
person and they rip you off.... and you leave them 10 negatives, they
can now leave YOU 10 negatives and ruin your score 10 fold! Or if you
sell 10 things to someone and they thought you were not that great
(slow shipping, high priced shipping, slow communication) they can
leave you 10 neutrals and ruin your business....
I am just saying for those who are happy now, that all it's going to
take to make you upset is ONE bad transaction. It's going to be
mortifying for you. All it'll take is one unreasonable person. Oh
and the less you buy/sell in a year, the worst your problem with be
with one neutral or negative. You'd literally have to sell (do the
math) 990 items to have 99% to rid yourself of 10 bad/neutrals. and
999 to get to 99.9%. If you do 50 items a year and have ONE neutral?
you will have a 98%. 25 items and one nuetral? 96.1 will be your
feedback. 10 items and one neutral? 90%. It may be they're after
"more realistic scores" but for the first year or more, a lot of
people are not going to get this and be p/o'd. I remember a similar
thing happening in the military where they had inflated EPR's
(enlisted performance reports which don't get you a pay raise, but are
everything when it comes to higher rank promotions for E-7 and above).
They went from a 5 category to a 9 category and changed the wording to
"honestly reflect reality". The result? People in that first year,
lost out big time; reviewers didn't promote many that should have.
THey'd score high on the test portion, have the assignment/letters
from Generals and medals, but because of the EPR's being "accurate"
where they got 5-8's, mainly, people looked bad on paper. Oh and
after that year? Boss's starting inflating those scores too... giving
only 8's and 9's with a "BAD" candidated getting 7's. It's a damned
joke. Just like Ebay. Just like these "stimulus checks". They put a
band-aid to solve a problem that only makes it continue or be worse!
Please people, report back here your experiences. Good or bad. I'd
love to be proven wrong.
