Ebay Feedback Etiquette

[maffew]

so someones posted an auction for a Big Chill ticket collection only ticket in Brighton, starting at 40 quid, buy it now price at £50

So I've bid 50 quid and it says I've won it, make the phone call and get told "oh - you've bought it? I've already sold it though (elsewhere)"

Now to me that deserves BAD feedback (which is what I'm gonna do). Though apparantly if I do that I might get bad feedback myself which renders the system useless

Anyway, do you think that deserves bad feed back or let her off as she probably got more elsewhere as its a damn good price

the prick deserves negative feedback 4 sure....problem is you'll get the same.

f***ing pointless system really!

SLAUGHTER her

 

[challengechappers]

like

you say it's pointless leaving bad feedback as you'll just get it back. when ebay has gone wrong for me (rarely, thankfully) it's irritable but just one of those things. c'est la vie. fruitless thinking otherwise.

 

[maffew]

ok thanks guys its unanimous.

she can kiss good bye to here 100% positive............

 

[Grendel]

If you get negative feedback from her, you can contact ebay to complain, I think.
Given that you've done nothing wrong, she's the one who'll be getting the rap.

You can complain, but they won't remove it: "...we can't remove comments because you believe they are untrue, undeserved or left in retaliation..."

report her for seller non performance

yes i';d live bad feedback but i wait until the searchable limit which is 90 days leave it then and then it's just about impossible for her to neg you back.

Yeah, leave it just before the feedback limit expires, makes it nigh on impossible that they'll have time to do it.

You could also post her phone number onto forums so she has to go through the hassle of changing her phone number.

THREAD HIJACK ALERT

Good afternoon. To save me from the dangers of ebay which I have learned about today (postal strikes, bad feedback etc) I have decided to post some unwanted items in the NSC classifieds section. Feel free to make me an offer for my shoes. Thanks for your time, and sorry for interrupting your thread. xx

 

[Spunk Bubble]

eBay is shite in that respect. If you are not happy and leave negative feedback, you get the same back which affects your % rating !!. Bloody stupid.

SOME posters will be asking something else that's been worn soon.

Yes, I do have a dispicably (sp?) dirty mind, but it's all mine!!!!

I am about to post a new bikini and some UNWORN underwear. I think I'm selling to the wrong audience though.

I've used the "wait until 90 days are nearly up" routine and it seems to work fine - fits into the revenge being best served cold category and you can really let rip without any comeback as long as they dont bid on and win something you are selling later on - then they get a chance to bad mouth you back

You'd be better off saying they are shop soiled items

 

[csider]

use the online admin person thingy telling them the story. sounds like she is in the wrong not you.

Very few sellers give a toss about a buyer's feedback. If somebody has ripped you off make sure you let other people know.

How about posting their ebay name on here. Word spreads fast, especially as they will be local.

Add them to your 'Blocked Bidder/Buyer List' then they won't have the chance to win anything you are selling! :yahoo:
