Please change the wording in "Feedback left for others"

[Knittingtopia2010]

I'm not sure how to add a picture on the forum but if you look at my feedback when it says

'Praise where they were the buyer' I WAS the buyer (top feedback currently showing on my page is for ebid parcel tape that I 'bought') and is showing that the feedback was from ebid.

For the next feedback down it says

'Praise where they were the seller'. I WAS the seller (100g robin paintbox dk double knit knitting yarn wool shade 233 lilac sky) and is showing feedback was left by my buyer.

So my feedback is correct and all makes sense to me.

Yes, but now look at your Feedback Left for Others - See the difference?

Again, using the feedback at the top on my page:

The title is 'feedback left for others'

1st item in the ebid parcel tape,

Doesn't it show that I left positive feedback for that member 'where they were the seller'?

I obviously don't see it like everyone else :/

Welcome to eBid where we can list things a little cheaper due to low fees

It looks like I was the seller in the 1st transaction and the buyer in the 2nd transaction, whereas it's the other way round.

I haven't read back through the thread to see how the discussion has gone, but I have always found following the feedback on eBid very difficult - for the reason you are highlighting.

But if you bear in mind you are looking at 'feedback left for others' it looks like you left positive feedback in the 1st one 'where they were the seller'
and in the 2nd one 'where they were the buyer'.

We're looking into this.

Thank you for supporting British Lung Foundation in YDC119

The above sounds and looks more correct Gazza. This way it shows that Praise was given to the buyer

I think it would be clearer to simply give the usernames of the two parties, i.e. who the feedback is From and who the feedback is To.

So, to borrow your example:

From: craig7501 [+254] (Seller)	Date Sat 29 Mar 2014 17:56:14 (BST)	Auction YDC 119 Sleeve Protectors (125551358)
To: astral276 [+165] (Buyer)	Reply? Click here to reply	Reply Comments
PRAISE: Thank you for supporting British Lung Foundation in YDC119

This then is clear both when you are looking at your own feedback and when looking at someone else's.
