happens it dose no doubt, thing is seller emailed me and told me they have
postage receipt and i asked them to scan it and let me see it, but still
waiting 1 month later, hence the warning,if id seen proof id av put it down
to bad luck,however,thats not the case,...and no better place to let the
fishing buyers know a little of the possible outcomes of buying of a
reported seller, that being "big_cod" whos his next bait going to be? S

I regularly use Ebay both as a buyer and seller.I have experienced this
problem from both sides of the arguement.

But have found that it is usually the Post Office system which is to
blame.When problems do occur its usually late deliveries,or wrong
addresses.Occasionally items have gone missing (lost or stolen).

Ebay does have some dodgy sellers,although you should check feedback ratings
before bidding.If not happy,don't bid.

Yes it is a good record.Many Ebayers anyway when they get negative will
change thier ID and start again.

Some people are intent on giving you negative no matter what you
do........seems to make them feel good.Personally I only ever do it as a
last resort and would go to great lengths to avoid it.

I had one person who bought an item from me,and he waited three months and
then gave me negative,saying the item didn't work.By the time I saw the
feedback I couldn't reply to it.......done deliberately in my opinion.He
never mentioned anything during the three months about problems.VERY
ANNOYING.My current rating is 273 with just 2 negatives........

You could always wait untill he has something for sale, something cheap and
get him back!....

I know it is petty but eh, cant stand people who leave negative feedback
without talking to the seller first.

the other thing i hate is when sellers wait for the buyer to leave
feedback. even though the buyer probably paid with paypal the same day as
the auction ended. the buyer has done there bit and should be left feedback
straight away.

i have lost a few feedback comments as i wont leave a comment before the
seller.

I have had them email me asking for me to leave feedback, even though i paid
within minutes of the auction ending!

Dont forget that anything you write down as feedback can be defined as
liable! in a court of law.
E-Bay do warn you of this.

Me too, dealers are the main culprits here.

I hope you used the facility thats allows you to comment on feedback to
register your dissapproval of an obvious idiot btw emails operate on the
Sod's/Paddy's internet protocol, which means when everything is working
perfectly its usually because something is busted. I'm getting about 20
spams daily that get past my message rules but I know some of my legit mails
are getting lost for no good reason.
