unbelievable Ebay seller.

DJMK4 · 12 Sep 2011 at 12:41

I had a bad buyer recently for an item I sold, he messed me around big time, as a seller we are no longer allowed to leave bad feedback for a bad buyer.

So whats the next best thing? He left me "Negative feedback", so in exchange, I left him the only thing I could "positive feedback" but told everyone how crap he was.

Well just plugged it in, (24 port network switch) fans very noisy and I got an electric shock off of the casing. brilliant.

Sent seller a email informing him and will see if i get a reply.

must be one of those days I guess.

I sell good stuff on Ebay when no one buys it on here.

Sellers not being able to leave bad feedback is a rubbish thing indeed I only buy on ebay now although I've never had a problem. I just find it much easier selling on Gumtree or various members markets on forums.

I'm not in it for gaining just a few extra £ by selling it at auction, would rather a smooth transaction and everyone being happy.

lol, that is crazy. Even if i bought something from someone nearby, I would still get them to post it (especially if postage was free).

Dob him in, eBay are very touchy about people trying to make money from postage.

Because the vast majority of transactions go through without a hitch, but you don't hear about those.

Heh, that's pretty damn cheeky!

3 miles away.

I am more concerned I got a big electric shock off of the case. That was I can assure you unpleasant. As anyone who has had electric shocks will confess

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What a ballbag.

Except for the fact ebay makes nothing off postage. Their commisions are based on the selling price nothing more.

All you hear (in GD, anyway) is bad things, especially if you're a seller.

Well, a page full of threads about how well their transactions went would be a bit boring.

It would just have been a static shock. Grow a pair. Had it been 240 volts you'd have know about it for sure

In reality, it was Mr. T pulling up on his drive, in his tank.

No wonder it was £10 for delivery, in the end he just threw the item at the buyer.

And reversed trough a tennis court.

Why not? so 0.0001% (complete guess) of transactions go bad? I have had more trouble with my mobile network provider, broadband provider, the revenue, my bank than I ever have with ebay, and I am a very active buyer/seller.
