I just left neg feedback - Ebay

[NaeNae]

In all my years of ebaying I have only ever needed to leave neutral feedback but today for the first time ever I have left neg feedback.

I was bidding on and won a gorgeous pumkin patch hoodie and jeans set but as there was no postage price I emailed the seller requesting a total. I have emailed and emailed since the day the transaction ended (8th) but had no response what so ever.

I am so diappointed, there is nothing in their listing to say that they are away etc so out of sheer frustration I have done it.

Perhaps it may seem a bit harsh but all it takes is a simple email. I even offered to not buy the item if it didn't make what they wanted in case they didn't want to sell it anymore.

It sucks big time and I feel awful but seriously I am sick of Ebays emails telling me I need to pay for this item.

I really hate having to do it too and luckily I have only had to do it twice.

Gosh it really does leave a bad taste in your mouth doesn't it! I left neutral feedback once when I had all rights to leave negative... Then they left 'me' negative feedback I was the one who ended up out of pocket with no product because they said they had posted it but I never received it They offered no appologies and didn't care less that I did not get anything in the mail claiming they can not control Australia Post... Well I had a post box at the time and I accept that Australia Post is run by humans and I gave the ebay seller the benefit of the doubt that Australia Post may have 'lost' the item so I gave them neutral feedback... I wasn't expecting negative feedback from them just because I told them that I hadn't received anything in the mail!

Darn it that sucks! But better to warn other buyers so good on ya!!

Cherish, I thought as a seller you cannot leave negative feedback to buyers anymore? Unless they have changed that rule again!

It was a couple of years ago

I left negative feedback a couple of days ago too for someone. I won a tupperware picnic set and paid for it and postage straight away and then seller said she didn't advertise postage - which she did - and then completely stopped communicating with me for two weeks. Thankfully I paid paypal and got my money back. I opened a paypal case which took her a week and a half to respond to and in the end got an email from her saying she was refunding my money ... and that was it. I sent her an email back saying that I was incredibly unimpressed with her as a seller and would be leaving negative feedback as well as reporting her to ebay so that other people are warned. She wrote back and told me nothing like this has ever happened to her before.

Anyway, I left negative feedback and noticed a couple of days later so had another buyer so it didn't make me feel so bad about it because she obviously wasn't doing the right thing. I am in the process of reporting her to ebay.

It doesn't feel good and I understand why it isn't nice, but other buyers need to know, especially since lots of them request direct bank transfers. In my case this woman had $140 of my money for nearly 3 weeks. I didn't know whether to bid on another item or to wait and so I have missed a few opportunities.

Good on you for leaving negative feedback. I think it takes courage to do it.
