How do I know when 89 days and 23 hrs and 59 mins have passed since a auction ended?

Real question is, why is a non-payer able to leave feedback at all?

Count the 90 days from the close on your calendar, jojo, and put a big red circle around the day, set the alarm clock, tie a piece of string round your finger (not too tight) and tie a knot in your handkerchief. More than likely in 89 days time you'll wonder why on earth you did all those silly things and it will dawn on you just after the 90 days is up - but you never know!

Heavy Metal or no metal at all!

Someone called me 'duckface' (I guess that's rude - it means nothing in the UK) on feedback once - I managed to get it removed!

What on earthly good is feedback if you cannot use it? Give him a negative!! If he does the same, respond. It won't be death to the seller, believe me! If sellers and buyers don't stop worrying about giving a negative if they feel they need to do so, feedback might as well take it's flying leap! It will become a pack of lies!!

R2, it is not any kind of common expression..maybe something a child would use meaning idiot or the like??!! (no offense! )

Did you have to pay to have it removed? I would refuse to do that, no matter what was said!

It’s not an exact 90-day deal. No timepiece/calendar made that is that inaccurate (other than perhaps a Rolex knockoff).

Take a look at Robert’s post:

In that link, check out the “Feedback can be left for at least 90 days following a transaction.” It’s the “at least 90 days” that is interesting. I don’t think eBay has people on their staff that are sloppy about help text. For all I know, they might even be lawyers (not to say that there aren’t a few sloppy lawyers “out there” – just not working for eBay).

Regarding your “perfect” feedback score (if I said this once I’ve said it x times), there is life after a negative – even for a seller. A perfect feedback score probably won’t be listed in one’s obituary, and is rarely mention in one’s eulogy. We have discussed on this forum (I’m serious) about leaving it in one’s estate, but I don’t think it was a serious discussion.

Also, doing a Pearl Harbor feedback attack just isn’t “honorable” (call me old fashion). If your experience with this person wasn’t bad enough to justify getting a retaliatory negative, then maybe you shouldn’t leave a negative. If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

OK, after reading this thread I just got up the nerve to leave my first negative (*gulp*) for a NPS. "Won & pd with Paypal Nov. 1, no answers to e-mails, no item, had to be refunded." The other person who negged him for the same thing didn't receive a retalitory negative, so hopefully he won't get me, either. His feedback's starting to look pretty bad (95.2%). I have 100% right now too, but it might not survive this.

The part that sucks is that none of the unpaid items I have are more than $50......one is only $5........hardly worth all the trouble.

Sounds like you've chosen which advice to follow.

Falcon, good for you!

Oh Zeus, Christine! You didn’t actually listen to us old farts!

Well, so far my 100% is holding out. (Hopefully this post won't jinx my feedback.)

Seems to be popular to make suggestions on to how to improve eBay’s feedback system, so here are some of mine:

• Everyone starts out with one negative feedback. This will eliminate the concerns about maintaining a “perfect” feedback score, thereby promoting more honest feedback.
  
  
• Once a year everyone gets an automatic negative (call it the Yearly Administrative Negative or YAN) if they haven’t gotten a neg for the year. This will help to lessen the concern about getting a retaliatory negative (which should increase honest feedback) because if you don’t get neg’d on your own, you’ll get neg’d anyway (you have nothing to lose). It will also encourage those concerned about their feedback scores to do more transactions on eBay to reduce the impact of the YAN.
  
  
• If after 3 years on ebay or 1,000 positive feedbacks (which every comes first), anyone that only has YAN negatives will automatically received 3 more negs.
