You're not calm, you're shaking. I can feel it. Oh no, wait...it's the usual morning earthquake in Tokyo.

This new policy really sucks! I just refunded some guy $200 because I didn't want a negative feedback.....and after I refunded him he gave me 2 Negatives for the items he bought.....

I couldn't give him a negative, but I still got him hard....

I opened 2 unpaid item disputes saying that he did not pay and chose 'other' for the reason. I knew he would respond....

He then responded saying that he paid....blah, blah.....I then ended the communication and hit him with 2 unpaid item strikes!

Is this our new way to get back at buyers?

HI:
Ive tried the UPI with a Strike, but then check in your dispute console- and click on the dispute a week later--they remove the strike,, all the buyer has to do is send an email, strike gets removed,,its happened on 4 diff buyers in past month--even 1 in italy--strike disappears

Are you in Tokyo ?

Refunding buyers out of fear of bad feedback is giving into terrorism. You give into a terrorist threat so they don't kill hostages and they kill the hostages anyway. Same with feedback.

I'm sure somewhere online there's a more elegant way of describing it.

Yea but Jonas, feedback dents your business. It's probably worth refunding for the sake of future sales.

wht can we do?
nothing
we have no say in ebay's decision unless we do something really huge that changes things, but the chances of that are slim to none.
so we just have to live with it, more of a reason on not to depend on ebay with your income.

Default Sopranos Meets eBay in Feedback Extortion Scheme

Hay Guys,

I just read a very interesting article about a new Sopranos Meets eBay in Feedback Extortion Scheme......

Apparently, this e-mail is starting to circulate eBay.....


Please Read:

Listen very carefully. I am the winner of this item. I have 4 other eBay Users in place either bidding on or have won items from you plus myself totaling 5.

We are prepared to leave you 5 Positive Feedbacks or 5 Negative Feedbacks depending on your actions. In a nutshell, we are in the business of selling Positive Feedbacks to eBay Sellers for $20 each, totaling $100 for 5 Positive Feedbacks.

If you purchase the 5 Positive Feedbacks for $100, you not only get to sell your items, you also receive 5 Positive Feedbacks. As you well know, Feedback is EVERYTHING to an eBay seller on whether they are successful or not.

I’m sure that you want to remain successful in your eBay business. Plus, along with the 5 Positive Feedbacks, we will also Guarantee Never to contact you again and we take you off of our list. You’ll even get a receipt for your purchase.

Now, here’s the important part.

If you refuse to purchase the 5 Positive Feedbacks, we will leave you 5 Negative Feedbacks for starters. We have 100’s & 100’s of eBay Users in place that we can use to leave feedbacks. In fact, we have enough to consistently leave you Negative Feedbacks for months resulting in you having to shut down your business.

The absolute worst thing that you can do at this point is to try and contact eBay at any time about this or refuse to cooperate; we Will start leaving you Negative Feedbacks and shut your business down.

Make no mistake, we’ve been doing this for years and have the power & resources to continually leave you Negative Feedbacks resulting in the closing of your business.

Think about this, if you try to report us to eBay and they try and suspend our account or something like that, it will not stop us whatsoever. Remember, I said we have 100’s if not 1,000’s of eBay Users in place that we can use to leave you Negative Feedbacks over & over again until you are forced to shut your business down that you worked so hard to build up.

Even if eBay were to keep suspending our user accounts, we have plenty more that we can use to keep leaving you Negative Feedbacks and there’s No way that eBay can keep up and stop us. They have tried & failed miserably. They also know about what we do. So the best and smartest thing that you can do is protect your business and just purchase the 5 Positive Feedbacks from us. That way, it’s done and over with and you can successfully continue to run your business without ever hearing from us again.

We will give you up to 72 hours from now, to reply. The sooner, the better of course. Just send us an email stating that you want to purchase the 5 Positive Feedbacks from us and let us know your main email that you use so we can contact you.

If we don’t hear from you by the end of the 72 hours, we will assume that you are refusing to cooperate and we will start leaving you Negative Feedbacks. So don’t do anything stupid. The smartest thing that you can do is take this seriously, we know what we’re doing. After we hear your reply to this email, we will contact you with further instructions.

This should be cross-posted in the PSU and eBay forums where they laud over how great eBay's new feedback policy is.

Default Feedback extortion Victim :(

I've just started on a new account. Sold two items to this guy jaypatel25. First he never replied my messages and at last i got a reply saying he has never been on that account for years and maybe it was his friend who used his account to bid. Sensing pure bull****, i filed unpaid dispute and got back my money. I thought ebay was smart to not let people leave feedback if the item was not paid for.

But i was wronG!!!! Today i wake up and my feedback is -1 :( I see that he has done it with few other buyers too. I have contacted ebay, is there a chance they will see the item was not paid for and feedback was left and remove it?
