COW!

Just had a run in with a woman in the UK - selling certain items that are fairly unique. I bought one for a reasonable price, the second was snipped (thanks AS!) for the opening amount.

Two weeks later and no delivery - then she emails me to tell me that the cheap one was broken. Yeah, right! Checked out her feedback and it seems I'm not alone - others had problems too... And she only leaves feedback AFTER the buyer leaves theirs, quite often VERY bad after a buyer dared to leave a neutral. Several buyers then replied saying this was just retaliatory feedback.

When I queried her policy on feedback, the bad feedback and my item, she told me that she'd refund me the whole amount as the unbroken item was worth much more. Yeah right, so how come I won then (oh yeah, thanks AS!)...

I think I might just bite the bullet, leave two negatives and live with her responses having added a Reply to any feedback she might leave with the correct info. My feedback can cope but it is annoying!

Any thoughts?!

Bummer. I've wished, from time to time, for a 'Block Sellers List'. I've suggested to AS to add this as a feature. When entering a snipe a warning could come up like: You have flaged this seller to avoid, or Seller has less than 90% rating .. continue YES/NO.

As to your query? Well you can't leave neutral and get neg'ed in return or (IMO) positive. If you leave no feedback you'll be nagged about it till the auction finally falls into the bit bucket in 3 months or so. If my feedback could stand it, I would add -1 to their score, and 2 negs to their total count.

OR

While it might be a total waste of time, I wonder if you could catch them relisting the 'broken' item a week from now and leave your feedback after the next auction ends.

Sellers... If your item gets broken CANCEL THE AUCTION ! Mad
I have most of my items packed and ready for the mail before the auction even starts.

This person claims to 'do' 50k GBP per annum sales thro' eBay but has only just hit 100 on feedback and been 'online' since Jan 2004 so I guess they just get a new ID when things get too hot. I'm eagerly waiting her to relist (it's a pretty unique item!) then I'm going to create a new ID and bid very high to ruin their day and allow me to neg.'em! *

Still awaiting my item but it's a bank holiday in the UK so Postman Pat is asleep 'til at least Tuesday!
