    I was looking at some feedback this morning and spotted that if you reply to feedback then the item title does not also appear - maybe there is not enough room for both, as the default on eBay feedback pages is 25 items/feedback per page?

    Looking at one seller's feedback, they have always left a reply along the lines of 'Thank You' to feedback left for them. They have NO item titles showing in their feedback. So if you wanted to protect your buyers' modesty then you could take a few minutes to add a reply to each feedback that they leave.

    Hope this helps!

    I'm a buyer and I'm not very happy about this.

    I emailed Ebay to advise them and got the general blub that everyone else is happy with this. Well I'm not.... so not sure how 'everyone' else is okay with it.

    That's 'cos you're a bloke! It is less likely to bother blokes than ladies, for ladies it's a bit different.

    Same logic as putting on weight, okay for a guy - not for a girl.

    FFM :)

    that's so true. it's the same with having grey hair.
    men with grey hair (e.g.george clooney)-oh, it's distinguished, sexy, salt'n'pepper,sophisticated.
    women: i let my grey roots pop through for 5 minutes - i'm a tired old hag.

    "They might be off hunting for tape measures and asking themselves "how small is too small?"

    men: size isn't important, it's what you do with it so they say,don't they.(ok,whatever)
    women: unless you're a woman, then you're just called, err...fat.:D (and yes, i'm including myself there!)

    edit to say:no i wouldn't want people looking at my size label as i am not happy with what seems to be printed on it these days! the new system is totally carp.
    however, people can see that i take a big size by looking at my big body unfortunately, so it's not like i can hide it.

    i await the day when i read 'and this season, stella mccartney (or whoever) has done a nice line in burka's."
