1) Allow BIN to stay on auctions up until bids reach 50-75% of the BIN price.
2) Show bidders NPB rating. I sure would love to know which bidders are one step from drowning in a NARU.
3) Give full refunds to sellers for NPB auctions... and charge the bidders the fees ebay lost in the process. They break the rules, they should pay for it. Seller already lost out in auction downtime while the bidder screwed them over.

#2 could even be a full refund when for NPB filed, and only a FVF refund for mutual. This puts sellers in a corner to do the right thing as well. If they truly get a NPB, they'll file this. If they file it illegally, they get suspended. If they file a mutual, then they get a partial refund.

I agree with the guy from ebay live who said there should be a system set up for buyers to leave negative. He suggested it should be a 7 day procedure that the buyer files and the seller has time to reply or make the transaction right. It would be worked like a paypal dispute or something. My neutral was for a broken item and the item was insured so I should have had time to file the insurance claim etc - but the winner didn't want that.
I don't think ebay will ever do this but at least this way the seller would have a fighting chance.

Gulag-a Soviet era concentration camp.
Step away for a moment and ask yourself why Ebay has to put us all on display like a freak show?

Yes, sometimes they do. This one isn't in my neighborhood but it's well worth the trip to downtown Oakland.
It's not just ratings via computer either. Sometimes drunks and prostitutes stand out front and let everyone know (at full volume) exactly how they feel about the place.
