Trustseal sort of thing for genuine sellers!

[devshoppe]

Recently, i read many posts by buyers regarding the frauds done by some sellers on ebay.
If the buyers kept on cheated like this then i think buyers will loose trust on ebay and just bcoz of some fraud sellers..genuine sellers will also suffer in long run.
I have a suggesion to make why dont ebay collect proper details of all sellers like personal details(ration card/voter id/passport copy etc.Moreover ebay should also ask for details like VAT number etc of sellers and those sellers who provide such details should be given a trust seal of ebay and only the sales done by such sellers should be covered under buyer protection .
This will give unlimited benefits to all.Some of these are:-
(1) Fraud sellers wont be able be make fool of buyers as they can never provide such details.
(2) Items of such fraud sellers wont be covered under buyer protection that will save 1000 of buyers as they wont buy and moreover it will help ebay too.
(3) Genuine sellers will get sales.
(4) Buyers will be able to trust ebay.

Now a days any one can get himself registered on ebay...start selling hot products like mobiles,laptops for cheaper prices and then runs away with hard earned money of innocent buyers...all this is due to lack of proper verification of sellers.
if any trustseal seller will perform any fraud ..ebay can easily catch him as ebay will be having all details of these sellers.
so, i think its still not that late..better ebay sort out something like this before all genuine buyers runs away.

Hi devshoppe,

I agree with you regarding fraud. If a user is able to manipulate feedback ratings, and commit fraud on site, then we need to re-look our feedback system and think of ways and means to improve the same. We also need to strengthen our Trust and Safety system.

eBay is working on such projects and I will forward your feedback to the concerned team for consideration.

I am disappointed to see that you feel that giving suggestion on the boards are not meaningful. Every suggestion will have attached debate and counter points. We may agree on some suggestions, while disagree on others. However, we can be open about are disagreements and yet respect each other's views.

Regards,
Sapana
