OT: EBAY Seller Unhappy W/ -feedback

So, won a computer cable from SDSPROGROUP. $6.+ shipping. Took them 4 weeks to deliver; would not respond to 3 Emails over 3 week period. I get 98% of my Ebay wins in 1 week or so. So, I left negative FB for the above reasons. Now, they have Emailed me 4 times in the past week, begging me to retract the FB.Example: > Dear Jason,We admit that this wasn't the best service we could provide you with and we are very sorry for all the inconvenience you might have experienced! We are working on improving our service. We?d like to offer you a full refund of the original transaction amount (including S&H charges) as a bonus if you agree to withdraw your feedback. At this time we already initiated process of Mutual Feedback Withdrawal via EBay. Bonus will be sent shortly after agreement is reached. Your cooperation would be highly appreciated.Once again, we are sincerely sorry for all the trouble!Best regards,SDSProGroupYeah, right. Last time I looked in the mirror, SUCKER was not stamped on my forehead.If SDSPROGROUP put 1/4 the effort into shipping on time and responding to customers Emails as they do to whining about NFB they get, their FB score would improve dramatically.My advice: Do not buy from SDSROGROUP.JRDweller in the cellar

This might be something that eBay would consider to be in violation of their feedback policy, specifically "Feedback Manipulation":

"... offering to sell, buy, or barter feedback is not permitted. ..."

Offering a refund in exchange for withdrawing negative feedback isn't quite exactly the same as offering to buy or barter feedback, but it seems pretty close to me. If I had received an offer like this one, I think I'd report it to eBay and see if they want to do anything about it.

HOLY SMOKE!! Who would buy from someone that has 20,000 neg feedbacks??? As president Bush would say" Fool me once and shame on you, fool me again and... and... and well.. fool me again and... ahhhh..."

Probably not unless I figured I could afford to just throw the money away. OTOH, though, the positives are far more numerous than the negatives. Somebody must be happy with them...

True, except...WHY ON EARTH would you buy from somebody with feedback like that? If all his buyers are bitching about slow shipping, why did you think your case would be any different???

You ALWAYS check feedback before bidding, and I make it a rule never to bid on anything from someone with records like this, expecially on commonly available stuff. If you were looking for the last 50 foot,

72-pin parallel interface cable for Univac disc drives on earth, then sure, if he had it maybe you'd be willing to wait. But for common stuff, nah!

Bullshit! If the order dropped into a crack, why didn't it crawl out when he emailed more than once? For that matter, why have so many others had the same experience? These people need a wakeup call.

Responsible people don't treat other people that way. Word needs to get out----sellers like this should wear the reputation they earn.
