Its important for other places to be considered when it comes to feedback. Ebays system of feedback has many persons leaving neutral comments in fear of leaving negative.

I argue that it is not. Ebay emphasis and makes it actually difficult to leave negative feedback. Feedback should be feedback and should not be prevented. When an organization like Ebay make it actually diffiuclt to send negative feedback (e.g. you need to go through a tutorial, you need to confirm, give me a break.) I argue that so many people have jumped on this band wagon that leaving neutral or negative feedback is the last step from declaring bankrupsy. Next, leaving 80 characters. 80 characters is really not enough to provide any detail in some cases. Lastly, Ebay should be reviewing these and when there are outright errors they should take action to remove this person. Sellers are able to lie about when a buyer pays (this information is in the Ebay system and can easily be refuted), ebay does not. People state that ebay feed back is valuable.

Power sellers on Ebay complain that they do not get feedback on a significant percent of their transactions. I agree that fear of being the first to leave feedback also diminishes the validity of the 3 point system. Rapleaf could utilize a random number generator (which changes daily) that a seller and buyer can exchange with each other. Perhaps feedback tied to random numbers could be more heavily weighted into a score which would encourage people to give out their number and also validate transactions. To address fear, submitted feedback would be hidden for 7 days after submittal and if only one person submitted feedback during that time period then that person would get extra feedback points for being the only person to submit.
