Some fool in France won won the item and it took me four weeks to get him to send me sterling through the post and even after all the aggravation I went to he still didn't leave me feedback of any kind! The really annoying thing was his English was perfect during our exchange of emails so he knew full well he shouldn't have been bidding in the first place! Similar thing happened two weeks ago with another French buyer winning an item he shouldn't have been bidding on as it was listed as ship to UK only. He immediately went straight to paypal and paid on the spot meaning that I took a hit on the postage. He must have known the postage would been increased for mail to France. I just had this weird feeling of deja-vu (ironically hehe!) and sent the damn thing without even telling him to read the auction properly next time. At least he left postive feedback although he left it in French meaning that a) UK buyers won't understand it and b) French buyers will assume I often ship there. Starting to suspect the French are out to get me

I believe it was the very first buy he had ever made on Ebay and he really had no way how the system worked, he apologized profusely when I explained I had up to three days to send a invoice, but the neg feedback stayed because back then they didn't have the mutual withdrawl program. Short of blocking all 0 feedback bidders (which I believe you can do now), there is no way to avoid idiot newbie Ebay buyers...Mike B.

bbarsh wrote:Had some guy buy a "heavily worn" DM screen from me a while back. Now, I try to go out of my way to describe stuff and even give it a number grade with a scale on every auction. DM screen sells for about $4 and I don't think twice about it until a month later when this neutral feedback shows up saying the item was in worse condition than he expected. I had already left positive feedback when it was shipped. So I email the guy and ask WTF... All he had to do was drop me an email and I would have either sent him a better copy or ship back and I'll refund...even though there was no way I was in the wrong. There was a clear picture, extremely accurate description and grading scale. Guy emails me back that its no big deal just a neutral and that I was being too sensitive. F..k him. I am not the vindictive sort, but I am still pissed about this a-hole...that is all I'm gonna say.These guys are out there. I have never had an item that was shipped to a U.S. or Canada destination get lost. Had at least 2 go to France disappear and two to South America. Got negged on all them even though I refunded their money. How is that for justice.

Ebay doesn't have a "whiner" or may "jerk" filter yet. In my 6 years buying on ebay I've only left one negative feedback - and that was because the guy never shipped my module (along with many other peoples). Most folks are always willing to refund your money and I always read the auctions carefully - something I'm sure many folks don't do.

Hello, I received this item and was quite disappointed. According to your very detailed grading system a classification of 6 does NOT have any ink marks etc... when opening the module I found that the former owner's name was in ink on the inside of the cover and on the first page of BOTH booklets. Needless to say I would like to resolve this issue to mutual satisfaction. Please e mail me with your suggestions so we may finish this transaction without further complication. Thank you very much, Sebastian

Thank you very much, SebastianFresh off my ebay messages today. Here is the link to the item description: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... S%3A1&rd=1 In the Condition section it clearly states what this guy is complaing about.

If you look at the auction desription though, it clearly states there that there is in fact the owners name written in ink on the booklets. Regardless of that fact though, since that you are unhappy with your purchase, please feel free to return the item to me for a full refund. Sorry again for your disappointment. Brian
bbarsh wrote:Issue resolved. That buyer went back and checked the item description and sent me a very nice message. I also noticed he bought a M&T from me with the same grade and same kind of detraction noted in the description. If the problem were on my side I would have refunded wit return. But I already got stuck with ebay and paypal fees for the thing, so I was a little reluctant to just give in. He also left pos. feedback after the message. Sometimes, things work out. I offered him free shipping on anything he purchased from my current ebay load. Seemed fair to me.
TheElderEye wrote: I have a friend that trades on ebay in the Star Wars toys section, he is one of those guys that is a gem encrusted powerseller He told me that he found that if he left his feedback after getting one from the other guy it cut down on petty negatives from jerks and newbies. I think he said that he had two early negatives and then since adopting the policy he hasn't had one. I'm thinking of doing the same instead of leaving comments when an auction is paid for.
