You can comment your side of the story after this, just go into the feedback section

That's not the real issue though, it still stays as negative feedback which is what people just see

[Acidburn]

complain to ebay then?

or go round the buyers house

[rs2coupe]

It's one of those things where if it is the only negative feedback on your account you may have good standing with Ebay and they may possibly remove the feedback. This will be determined by what emails you have from the buyer and the discrepancy between both parties. I know it will be hard because Ebay really leaves it up to the buyer to be 'kind' enough to remove the feedback after communication as they recommend you do.

Like Jamo says... people only see that red negative

this is why I never sell stuff on ebay if i can help it... too many retards out there

[bluequattro]

i ve been lumbered with the prats that bid and then change their minds, or want overseas shipping after they win, then argue at the post costs which i give them from post office, cheeky beggars even have asked 4 free postage
ebay ok for buying (ask my mrs!) crap for selling, everyone wants it for 50% of nothing half the time
if you can buy it cheaper elsewhere, go there!
Oh dear, need to lie in a dark room for a bit, av forgotten me tablets...

It's par for the course these days....

Some Buyers really take the piss.... Buy items and then take days to pay!!!

I've sold 10 item on auction in 2 days 3 buyers have backed out and only 2 others have paid....

Gets right up my sodding nose...

Why Bid to win and then not pay...

But it has to be said there are some really nice people on there too... Like the guy who bought a set of my calipers for his Iso Grifo....

I should be used to it being in retail, but it still pisses me off....

[quattro84]

Jep, ****** users all the time. I've 'won' some parts for the price of 1 euro. I always ask for shipping costs in advance, because some cheeky *******s try to change it after then notice they don't get the price they hoped to get.

This week i had an ******** who didn't want to send IBAN & BIC codes. How the hell am i supposed to pay mate? Paypal is the way to go for me now, don't buy anything unless they accept Paypal.

Fair points and mutually agree as I've had similar experiences. But I must admit as a buyer who pays for everything I bid to win. I expect proper communication and understanding from the seller prior and after the auction has ended before I send anything more than $100. Too many times have sellers overseas taken the money and within a day 200plus positive feedbacks turn into "no longer registered"

I buy the majority of Audi bits on Ebay and I am glad they exist.

What pisses me off is that ebay charge you as soon as your item sells. If then the idiot that bought it decides he cant be arsed to pay you have to be very on the ball to get your money back of ebay. If you miss the tight deadline and dont send enough communication they woant refund you.
I have had this happen a few times now.

Ebay owe me alteast £100 in fees not to mention all the bluddy supplements i have sold on there that were claimed never received by the buyer. Yeah, you still have to pay ebay, even if you issue a paypal refund...

What im now doing is strongly encouraging buyer to pay for things with paypal as a gift and then i take the auction down. That way there is no fees and you get all the money. Its only a matter of time till they set up a script that checks when someone sends you a gift if you have already been in communications with them.....

I was told once how much money ebay makes per day. Its sick....


I am happy though that ebay now have a hotline for there business customers. Its way more satisfying shouting abuse at someone then writing it in an email

[DJones]

I have one on the go at the moment.

Sold one of my sons "Thunderbird 1" super-size toys and the guy emailed me claiming its not what i described, which frankly is pretty impossible to do. Its a f**king TB 1 still in the box.. plus it had a detailed picture.

I emailed him back saying send it me back and i will refund you £21..... 2 weeks later he sends another moaning email, i say send it back and i will refund you again... 2 weeks later he moans again....

Oh f**k off springs to mind..

I have sent him another email and printed all the previous emails and posted them via Royal Mail... £21 give me a break.. i would rather have said here's a TB1 now f**k off.

Until the next installment FAB!!

Bo,

I also try and do this with buynow or best offer... but I think you have to be careful about haow many items you finish early... So ihave been changing the discription to something like "Item now sold - Please don't bid" and let the 30 days run out....

I know we all like to moan about ebay... I hate it when I have my work "hat on" and we as a company will not use it... It's Too dear & why when we have a web site etc etc... But it has to be said for guys & gals like us its great for getting parts, bits etc that without it would mean that we would have to buy at staelers prices or do without.... or chase round scrappy's to find that odd but important part....

Or when we need to re-coup money when we have finished a project and have some bits spare etc etc.... Stuff that sometimes in the old days we would have just chucked in the bin, or put away in a box....

Just wish I had the forsight to have come up with the idea... Just like google, Microsoft etc etc....

I've had that before, plus its annoying now that you as a seller can't leave bad feedback its just letting people get away with stuff.

I've got a lot of boxed trainsets from when I was younger i'm considering selling on there but not sure what they are worth and bet that I get all sorts of hassle so not sure now if I want to bother, have to try find some other way to sell them.
