Ebay problems

[HolyStitt]

For myself, a buyers feedback is not as important as if they are a confirmed buyer when paying through Paypal. Obviously if the buyer had a low number or a negative number it would be important, but so far it hasn't been an issue for me.

Like Catesta says, if you're selling, that negative should be avoided at all costs. As a buyer, one neg is just not a big deal. He gave you the neg precisely because he wanted to blackmail you into removing his. Fuck him. Admittedly, there may be a few dealers out there who would cancel your bid if they didn't like the feedback percentage, but I can't picture there being enough for you to actually find one with a bid.

Plus, you can always apprise dealers of the situation if they prefer not to sell to those with less than 99% positive feedback.

thanks guys for all of your great advice. I think I am still inclined to let things stand.

Let the feedback stand. The negative hurts him more than it does you. Whenever I look at soembody's feedback, I go right to the negatives. It's easy to spot revenge feedback. You are given the option to respond to negative feedback. Just say that he's a liar and that he didn't keep his word.

Jack is definitely right. The guy put up tit-for-tat negative feedback with the hope of getting you to remove your legitimate complaint. He's an ass.

How refreshing would it be if someone would put up a response to negative feedback that said "He's right, I screwed up. But it was an aberration and my record with other buyers shows it."

Dan, if I saw that, I think the shock would probably kill me!

ON further reflection :

I am thinking that while his comments in reply to my negative feedback I think show this guy to be pretty bad and my comments in my negative feedback and in reply to his negative feedback would make it clear that this guy is an ass - the problem is that the comments disappear after 90 days, right?

So then I am merely left with a feed back history that shows one negative for me but no one is able to look at the comments to see how unreasonable the other guy was.

Again I am inclined to leave it, but this is making me think twice.

Everyone who I have asked in person about this says go for withdrawal - but as I said I think this guy deserves the negative and I am pissed about what he put me through. I suppose the issue is my desire to keep my 100% rating versus my responsibility to let other ebayers know about this guy.

Any further thoughts are appreciated.

No, the comments are there permanently. Only the link to the auction itself disappears.

Correct.

[catesta]

skeith, like the guys above are saying, the feedback comments are always there they just age with the more transactions you do.
