Feedback

This does have to do with a sellerr I am dealing with, but this is about the other people who has been dealing with them. Each and every person that left this guy a neggy got one in return. I am contemplating leaving one but I don't want one in return.

P.S. - This won't be an issue once ebay enacts the new rules for sellers (no neg feedback from buyer to seller). Sellers hate it but it works for buyers in these type situations.

This goes into effect on Feb 20th I believe, so I think at that point you can leave your negative without retaliation. Who is the ebay seller if you dont mind me asking!

Here is this sellers profile from ToolHaus.org

Retaliatory feedback really irks me, because the buyer's only obligation to the seller is timely payment. If they've done that, the seller hasn't a leg to stand on--or so it seems!

You've just opened Pandora's box ... now we will feel Bobby's wrath. This path has been crossed numerous times in the past with predictable results.

According to this article it seems to indicate the fee changes and feedback changes go into effect Feb 20th, hence the proposed strike for next week.

If it says that, it's wrong. Feedback changes aren't until May.

I am a good seller and there are very few instances over the years where I feel I actually deserved negative feedback. When people leave me negative feedback and I feel I don't deserve it, I will always return it and have a good reason for doing so.

Here are some reasons buyers deserve negative feedback, even if they paid in a timely manner:

Buyer claims he never received item, even though delivery confirmation says he did.

Buyer requests a refund on an item, even though my terms explicitly state that there are no returns, then he files a claim with Paypal making up some bogus "not as described" claim, simply so that he can get the refund.

Buyer harasses me with tons of unnecessary emails, is rude, and wastes my time.

Buyer chooses to not purchase insurance, then blames me when package is lost in transit and leaves me negative feedback.

Buyer requests a refund, which I quickly process, then he leaves me negative anyway.

Buyer returns a product without even asking first and expects a refund.

Buyer sends me a personal check, even though my listing states that I only accept Paypal, cashier's checks, or money orders.

Buyer indicates he is unhappy with an item (generally because he failed to read the listing), so I offer a refund (even though the listing states I don't accept returns), then the customer claims he'd rather keep the item, but leaves me negative feedback anyway.

Buyers is a scammer.

Yeah...I suspect there's a few out there, but I'll wager the majority of us just want to receive the item as advertised--with as few hassles as possible. As I've said before, I feel that 1/2 the coins on ebay are not quite as advertised: overgraded, harshly cleaned, hidden damage, etc. It's quite a chore to filter through all the junk, and then when a bad coin slips through, deal with a defensive/evasive seller. Remember--the seller usually has the upside because they know exactly what they're selling, leaving the buyer to trust their word and "grade yourself" from some pitifully small/dark photo. Few sellers actually put themselves in the position of the collector, but seem shocked when buyers later point out discrepancies in the deal.
