In a grumpy mood.

+1 to this.

Expectations were quite clearly not met so in my eyes it's a negative. If things were resolved at the first instance then it would have been a neutral.

Oh good, so I'm not alone. I was beginning to feel like a right ****

Danny you grumpy old (I don't actually know how old you are tbh) man.

Although;

The seller described the condition as excellent. It wasn't.
The seller offered a partial refund as an apology.

Had this been me, and had the seller paid up, this would have resulted in neutral feedback. Want positive? Advertise the item accurately next time.

But the seller didn't pay up.
And he ignored the dispute.
And eBay wound up issuing a full refund to the buyer.

To me, this is worth negative feedback. The seller didn't fulfil the promises made to the buyer after the initial issues were raised and a resolution was agreed. The buyer only received a refund because eBay intervened. During the dispute phase they will have received reminders that they needed to contact the buyer. Only upon a full refund being issued and negative feedback being left did the seller care enough to contact the buyer. At this point the sympathy card is played, because not having 100% feedback on eBay causes problems.

Feedback helps to ensure a better eBay for all that use it. People not giving accurate feedback is why there's so much pressure to be 100% positive. Instead of 100% being the domain of only the best eBay sellers, it is the domain of the majority. If we all gave feedback accurately, it would be easy to get a feel for how seriously sellers take their eBay commitments.

This would be similar to my thought process.

**** eBay and bad sellers on it though.

If it takes a negative comment to force him to make an effort, just I want to say **** him, but I don't want to be suspended haha.

Leave it as is. They gave pretty poor service by the sounds of things and have only reacted now once negative feedback was left; you shouldn't need to leave feedback for them to react in the manner they ought to have all along!

These. neg him.

Probably kept the tablet and got a full refund too knowing this buyer. I'd block him if I knew his ID.

You think you'd learn from experience before bidding or buying something. How about look at the pictures, and if you want ask for more. Talk about a moaner.

slash his throat and neg vote him as his life blood seeps through his hands, then bathe yours and his sons in it whilst pooing through your own face.

I would but it was a woman and dad told me to never hit a woman.

Efour · 5 Jun 2014 at 22:11

good dad !

You never said it was a woman in the OP so i would have said leave her negative feedback regardless of the service/condition of the item.

Raise a complaint with the police and show them on the lego doll where he touched you.

Is less than 100% feedback really an issue? I'll happily buy from sellers with feedback as low as ~97% and I've never had any issues in the past. So much negative feedback seems to be serial whingers or people that just didn't bother to check what it was they were buying.

Agreed, you at least need someone as a lookout if you're going to do it properly

I recently received Neutral feedback from a buyer with the comments 'Perfect!'. When I quizzed why he had only left me neutral feedback he said that he had done it in a rush.

You have to allow for some dumb *** people sometimes.

KIA · 6 Jun 2014 at 11:24

Don't change.

darael · 6 Jun 2014 at 12:15

Agree to change your feedback after you have received your replacement.

*sigh*

You're right. You know me well... oh wait, we've never met.

Why don't you post your ID up? You seem to have issue with buyers expecting good service and accurately advertised items, so I expect you'd be doing us all a favour. Or better yet, cease trading on eBay. That way you wont have to worry about people like me buying your items and (shock, horror) expecting them to be as advertised.

norm · 6 Jun 2014 at 17:10

There's a thing now on ebay called 'feedback extortion', when a buyer spuriously complains about an item threatens to or leaves negative feedback and prompts the seller to give full or partial refund.

Bet it happens loads. The fact ebay have coined this phenomenon speaks volumes about the dire state of ebay today.

Stuff eBay, its rubbish.
