Another Ebay Hero with a computer

[Lamplitersniper]

I think I may be just losing my reality grip with ebay. I mean I've been doing this this way for eons. Guess I just don't understand why I'd leave a positive feedback as soon as they pay, then find out later they pull the "I didn't receive the card" etc routine. Can i retract a positive feedback when I think I was scammed? Not sure. I think the buyer wins everytime.

I have near 400 positive feedback.

Get tracking for the .45 cents extra and this isnt an issue. If they try to say they didnt get it, with tracking confirmation, paypal and ebay 99.9% of the time side with the seller.

Try about $14 for tracking from Canada.

As both a buyer and seller, I leave feedback when the transaction is complete. Feedback is supposed to be provided for the full transaction.

As a buyer, I either leave positive feedback or notify the seller upon receipt of any problems. I don't expect any feedback until they know I've received the card(s).

As a seller, I wait until either I receive positive feedback or I am notified of any potential issues. As a seller, I can ONLY leave positive feedback so I do feel it's the duty of the buyer to indicate that the transaction is complete to their satisfaction (or sometimes dissatisfaction if they leave neutral or negative) before I 'close the book' so-to-speak.

I've had buyers claim that 'cards are damaged', but are unwilling to send images or return the cards, they 'just want a couple of bucks back' and they can be happy. I've had buyers, with DC on their packages, claim non-receipt. Then there are the cross-border, low-value non-receipt claims that you just never know about as a seller. If I leave these buyers positive feedback immediately, how is that helpful to others? Are these types of buyers/traders you would want to deal with regularly? They paid, some quickly. Most times, issues are resolved and both parties receive complementary feedback on a good transaction.

I simply don't believe a buyer's responsibility ends with payment. A seller is responsible until the purchase reaches the buyer (eBay's rules). I believe the buyer is responsible until the seller knows they have received their purchase (my rules - state clearly in all my listings).

I think a seller should not leave feed back until the buyer gets the item. What bothers me is the sellers that don't leave any feed back even after I give it. That guy is a tool for leaving a negative over that. Added him to my blacklist.

Dead on!

It would seem to me that some people are very fickle on ebay and in business in general. What you need to understand is that you will deal with all kinds of different people and since you cannot meet face to face and know their personality and expectations you cannot hope to please everyone. Personally I don't agree with the negative. In my opinion a negative should only be left if things cannot and were not resolved to the satisfaction of both the seller and the buyer. For the buyer to assume that the seller was going to leave feedback right away is not logical. Perhaps in the future that buyr should only purchase from sellers that he knows leave feedback immediately upon receipt of payment. Again Jonpop, it is a fact of life that you cannot and will not please everyone and level headed purchasers will take that in to account when reviewing your feedback,

Feedback is completely discretionary by any party on eBay. It does not have to be posted by either party and cannot be used as a bargaining tool under any circumstrances.

If a guy does any type of Feedback Extortion like has just happened to you, contact e-bay and show them the message with his disclaimer that you didn't leave your feedback quick enough so he negged you.

eBay will suspend his punk-_$$ in a heartbeat.

I tend to agree, that if you had the messages from him showing why he left you the neg, that's unacceptable on his part, and there's a chance things could be reversed (if that's even possible). Something tells me there are penalties to be handed out to those who abuse the feedback system.

A can of worms just opened... I hope you guys are making a lot of money from your eBay sales, otherwise what a waste of time to have all the troubles related to feedback issues; how do you declare your revenues from your sales on eBay to the governments? When an individual has almost the same quantity of transactions per year as a store, we can call this a "business". No?
