Long-time readers know that I’m somewhat of a gadget freak and today is a big day for gadget lovers as the iPhone 3G hits the streets.

I’m here in Raleigh, NC waiting in line at a ATT store in an area called North Hills.

Proof that eBay is listening (and acting) - fixes Neutrals and MFW!

At eBay Live, Lorrie Norrington implored sellers to give eBay time to make the changes necessary to improve the marketplace.

Today is the first big announcement since eBay Live around more changes.

1. eBay is reversing their decision to make Neutrals, in effect Negatives. This will take place in late August (retroactively in time), and in the limbo between now and then, eBay has committed to not taking action on anyone due to neutral impact (e.g. losing PS status because neuts=negs).

2. At eBay Live, Lorrie promised that Mutual Feedback Withdrawal (MFW) and now they are saying it will be out in October (just in time for the holiday selling season - gulp).

These both make a ton of sense and are high on the list of “Changes ChannelAdvisor has asked eBay to make” that we covered in our recent webinar (although we take no credit on the change, it’s very widespread amongst the seller base of course).

The nice thing about MFW is very frequently on the eBay platform as a seller you don’t know the buyer has had a bad experience until a neut/neg is left for you.
