Dear Sharat,
Greetings from Linus Studios!
Here are our suggestions, I wont go in detail as much has already been said about some of these many a times and
others are self explanatory.
1- Fix a time period, only after completion of which a buyer can leave neutral/negative.(similar to time after which UPI can be filed) Make in mandatory for buyer that he/she at least contacts seller once before leaving negative/neutral feedback.
2- Allow neutrals to be appealed in CC.
3- Make it mandatory for every new buyer to once go through a tutorial before his first purchase. It may sound a little cheesy but it can be sauced with a discount voucher offered after completion of tutorial/
4- Plz ensure that CSR's do not ask buyer to file INR cases for oher issues.
5- Next to every item listing as seen to buyer put in a small link like this-
6- Make a couple of moderators on this community boards. eBay pinks are almost extinct after Indraneel Left. He was almost everywhere, answering all queries. Helping anyone in Need. We sure miss him.
7- Make Daily deals more attractive by rolling in items faster like in .com. These days items are stuck for 3-4 Days at a stretch. And Participation fees for DOD. We all were better off that, recent performance of DOD's can be attributed to that also.
8- Pamper sellers, instead of distributing coupons. If sellers are pampered they will give good deals. Coupon marketing is very dangerous and has very adverse after effects. Sending Packaging material is a thing which can be brought back.( BTW I recently got an item ordered on eBay delivered inside Packaging of another e-commerce site.)
9- 24 Hours Phone Support to all buyers and sellers.
10-Please instruct ur CSR's Not to say- " I have a small request, you will be transferred to a small automated survey where......" .
It really irritates now.
Thanks for all the good work work done till now and wish all luck and courage for future.
