Should I leave negative feedback?

[Fishman Dan]

Neg the wanker

Agreed. Stuff any unwritten rules or etiquette.

He's willingly selling something and then allegedly pisses off overseas? I'm pretty sure the overseas internet can pick-up eBay!

[3oneday]

It's like the folk I encounter on ebay who's "computer is broken". Seriously, does that really come into it if you are buying something ?

My father was selling his bowls on ebay. The day the auctioned finished he got run over by a car and was in Royal Melbourne Hospital for 3 months. After a couple of weeks we contacted the winning bidder and explained the situation and I was able to get the bowls to her.

Sometimes extenuating circumstances happen. I wouldn't neg the guy, but I like your message to him, best wait for the response.

With due respect to your situation (I hope he was able to make a full recovery), you see a lot of "the dog ate it" type of excuses on eBay. Going overseas is one example - that shouldn't prevent you from accessing the internet in some fashion to respond, knowing that you have an auction ending at a Date/Time.

What's neutral about dealing with someone that's poorly organised? The only reason I might hold back from neg'ing in these scenario's is if they are currently 100% - if they have been neg'ed in the past it shows they have form.

this guy has 275 positive and provided a full refund, I personally don't see how that warrants a neg

I think you missed the word eventually.... but as a buyer you want communication when you go through this process. You can understand the compulsion to take out your disappointment the first way that comes to mind. Seems like everyone lives happily ever after.

Ok... I think we've solved this one. Next burning social issue for us to mend?

Still no response from the seller.

He sold 2 other items the day I won the auction. He's left positive feedback for them both. Nothing for me.

I might neg him just for being an American.

Is that wrong?

[markTHEblake]

You gotta play with the cards you have been dealt - he cant help being an american.

[mike]

I sent him this;

I asked about postage before bidding. I paid as soon as I won the auction. I accepted your offer of a refund. I heard nothing from you for almost 2 weeks. I didn't get the refund until I contacted ebay.

I don't want to leave negative feedback. Please give me a reason why I shouldn't.

This is his reply;

do what ever you phucken want it really doesn't matter to me,

Funny.

I'm leaving no feedback whatsoever.

[Webster]

You must neg him.

[Fishman Dan]

It almost sounds like he wants you to get baited, you neg him, you leave some nasty feedback, he sooks to eBay, they remove the neg. You should neg the prick, but with something simple and effective - "An unfortunate experience".

[henno]

I'm with Fish. Neg the arsehole, but do it nicely so as to avoid giving him any ammo of his own to fire.

[Yossarian]

I'd set up a chain of fake accounts and keep bidding on anything else he tries to sell and then draw out the payment process before finally saying to him "I don't care do want you phucken want I'm not paying"

[Webster]

use somethign like:

"the whole experience with this miserable seppo prick has been a collosal disappointment. Avoid like the plague. MTFOATCIYAC"

[henno]

I'd set up a chain of fake accounts

I have had a conversation with a US ebay developer and he said that any account that uses the same IP, ever, is linked to any other account that has used that IP, ever. And the link between those two accounts remains forever.

So, um, don't do that.

[Yossarian]

Ok, I'd use the uni computers and those at public libraries...

[3oneday]

phuck him

[fatbastard]

If you don't leave feedback, does that go against him???

[sms316]

Maybe the guy just thinks you are a prick Mike.

[mike]

Outstanding post SMS. One of your best. I can tell who you hang out with.

I'm going to wait until I'm in a bad mood, then neg him.

[Daves]

This seller nuked yet?

[Johnny Canuck]

I can't believe you won't neg him after that reply.

[Fishman Dan]

I'm going to wait until I'm in a bad mood, then neg him.

Is that anything we can help you with?




.... you half-heighted Soward loving feaux Queenslander 'Gong boy ...

[grandmasterb]

Not leaving feedback wont do a thing you reaslise???

I was all for neutral feedback but now with that response i would leave negative feedback or better still open a dispute through EBay first so its all documented by them

Royal Queensland members? My wife and daughter?

They cover 90% of my time and as far as I know, none of the above know you.
