Should I leave a negative feedback?

Nov 23, 2005 44 Replies

Hm. Way I look at it, if a guy's got less than perfect feedback, I look at the feedback of the people who gave _him_ a neg, and decide from that if I want to buy. "neutral" really is a negative, so see if they have many neutrals. I'm probably going to leave a neutral on a recent transaction, never needed to leave (or get) a neg.

But, if I bought something and it came not as described? You bet, I'll neg 'em. Just hasn't happened yet, I sell:buy at a 50:1 ratio or so.

I like to read the negative feedbacks because it usually points to which one in the transaction is the idiot. It's not always the seller.

I am an ebay Power Seller. No matter what you do, unless you just have a "Make the Customer Happy" policy that lets them keep the money, the shipping, AND the merchandise just so you don't get any negative feedback, someone is going to bitch.

I sold a pair of fake hands that are held onto round pipe with hose clamps. Like to hook onto a handlebar or a round lawn chair arm, or a boat railing. One is for holding a beer, and the other is for holding a fishing pole.

Well, I put them on a lawn chair, with beer and pole by the pool. Took a picture. Listed the item.

First words of the description - "THIS AUCTION IS FOR A PAIR OF HANDY HANDS". Then went on with description.

I got a negative from a guy who said he thought the lawn chair and fishing pole came with it.

True story.

You just can't please everyone. There are angry negative people in the world. There are idiots all around us.

I'd bet the bar is pretty low, Paypal would look very hard at anyone at risk for costing them money.

Its like credit cards. I've had several vendors shine me on when I called them, but when I called the credit card company to get the charge reversed, then suddenly I would hear from the original company wanting to get it right. You make trouble for the credit card companies, they drop you. And they talk to each other.
