Revenge on ebay?
This is very unprofessional, but this is part of a rant.
So we have this guy that bought about 10 to 12 hockey cards from ebay from us. We charge the normal $4 bucks for the first card, 50 cents extra per card for shipping from the USA to Canada. Lets just say it's 10 cards, so shipping would be $12.50. I believe I sent him an invoice for $8 shipping, I know 12.50 is too much. Yeah yeah, $8 is too much, but ebay fees, paypal fees, toploaders and bubble envelopes add up over time. He refuses to pay this, and tells me he'll pay $3.50 to ship them all cause he does this all the time. I refuse this offer, we would loose money between packaging/shipping fees. So he leaves us negative feedbacks for these items. (if you look at the feedback he leaves, he does this several times to other sellers also) AND he refuses the mutual agreement to cancel the transactions so we pay all the ebay fees on this crap too. Ebay refuses to help with the fees or the negative feedback.
So the unprofessional part is I want revenge. Using another ebay name to bid on something of his and leaving neg. just won't make me happy. So, is there a website where I can put his address and phone number so he will be harassed. That would be fun.
I feel this entire issue stems from ebay not letting sellers leave negatives anymore. The buyers can just walk all over the sellers. Where else can you sell cards online and get the exposure that ebay gives? We must create one...

by creating a new account just to smear him, and also spreading more than just his user name will get you in a lot of trouble through ebay

Posting someone's personal information on another site to be harassed is against eBay's TOS and will get you kicked off there permanently and the person will have the right to pursue legal action against you. It's not worth it.
Plus it is illegal on eBay to add in PayPal fees and eBay fees is against eBay's TOS as well. The toploaders, bags, penny sleeves, and shipping supplies should already be added in shipping costs.
Many have tried to compete with eBay, many have failed.

Wow-maybe this would have been avoided with reasonable shipping fees. 8.00 for 10 cards is gouging. You are not just covering your fees, you are making money on shipping.

yeah, you acknowledge that you overcharge for shipping, then get mad at someone for calling you out on it?

The guy knew the shipping charges when he agreed to buy the items...you can't just win/purchase an item and then decide the shipping is too much and you won't pay it. If you bid/buy it now, you're agreeing to the terms listed in the item listing, no matter how ridiculous they might be.

Like I said, it's unprofessional and mostly a rant. it's just a shame there are people on ebay like this. When you buy on ebay, you agree to the terms of the auction, or you shouldn't bid. I know all of ebays policies and consequences. It's just a shame that ebay makes it this easy for buyers to screw sellers.
and yes, all of this over some negative feedback!! I'm a perfectionist, and this guy is the only neg. we've received in roughly 300 transactions.
Also I'd like to add, everyone on ebay charges shipping fees just like we do. To compete with pricing you have to do what everyone else is doing or you show up at the bottom of the list and you can't sell anything.
Just to prove this. This same guy I speak of does the same thing. In his auctions he says, "Shipping is just $.75 per single card after the first single card within a 24 hour period"
