Feedback extortion / extortions are already starting...

[imjustme]

This buyer is obviously stupid, but it's just an example of what is to come. He ordered 2 shirts, both in size XL. Then he claims its not a true size XL, but more like a size S (small). Yeah right. On top, I even had the exact measurements in the listing. I offered him a refund if he sent it back. Guess what he responded with?

I want a full refund and I will keep both shirts because I don't want to pay money to send them to you. If you don't agree, I will neg you after the 18th and you can't neg me back.

Like I said, he's obviously stupid because I can neg him (and likely will) on the 17th. But that's a clear example of what is to come.

of course eBay won't do anything to this crook.

[imjustme]

Sure not. His communication is all over email. Looks like now I will lose the money AND the item. Unless he makes a PayPal dispute on the basis that he never received it. Then I can show with the tracking that it was delivered.

[Lisa B]

What do you mean the "no neg policy," does not apply to all sellers.

[imjustme]

You mean PowerSellers are excluded, right? Not everyone is a PowerSeller, though.

I wonder if you can still put "BAD BUYER" in a positive comment. Or will eBay remove that too?

[twdell]

i thought i read somewhere that sellers can still leave neutral feedbacks. i could be wrong though.

[imjustme]

That's interesting. Now that you mention it, eBay did says they will remove negative feedback. But they said nothing about neutral. I guess neutral is the new negative now.

imjustme, if you are in Japan, which I assume, and you've purchased the shirts there, which I assume you did, then the buyer may be correct. Japanese XL is like American Med. Japanese S like American baby sized. In any case, I would take it like a man. Tell him to send shirts back and credit him for shipping + refund. If he doesnt, tell him to freak off and take ur negative like a man, then report it to ebay. I forgot how I got there, but you can report undeserved negatives to ebay for removal consideration. If that don't work, so be it. At least you stood up for yourself. Thats what I would do.

By the way, I just got 2 buyers who left me negatives to do a mutual withdrawal after I promised to refund their money. Well they did but I am considering to NOT refund their money. What can they do? I think they are too noob to do a dispute with paypal and I have no active listings for them to report me now.

Get your $$$ out of PP B4 they do a claim.

[2eXclusiive]

neg him first, NEG the sh*t outta him!!
i only said that because he's obviously trying to scam you.

[jscan]

I am just waiting for somthing like this to happen to me now since this BS rule has been introduced.

If i was you IJM, i would have his home pranked throughout the night, order 24 large seafood pizza's to his door, as well as a few strippers and maybe even some rat control services. You got his details yeah?, make good use of them.

[2eXclusiive]

lol
i agree with jscan, but i would only do that if he scammed me after all we are all supposed to act "professional" and "grown up"

[jscan]

well if the guys not going to return the items and neg you for no reason i think thats enough cause.

[2eXclusiive]

goodluck on the outcome of it jscan.

[jscan]

it didnt happen to me lol, it happened to imjustme haha

[2eXclusiive]

my mistake

Heres One for the books,, (Usually I have alot more patience + can laugh stuff off--My kids have been REAL BAD lately..so my nerves are torn,,

Heres a Buyer who bought a Case of Manilla Folders from me. The folders are the 5 cuts, Staples sells for
$9.99, Buyer got it for $4.88, charged him only $2.95 shipping.


"Dear XXXXXXXXXX,
I received the folders today, and i am very disappointed. They are not all the same color.
Some are darker vanilla than others. How can I set up my office with different color folders?
I am aware-you say to ship back, well, I will be out about $4 shipping back to you, plus all my time, how i had to keep checking on
the bids and monitor them, so i could win, then drive (with gas at $4 gallon!)- to the store to rebuy. Not to mention my
now aggrevated major headache, which I am now driving to the store fro Tylenol!
So- Heres the deal: You send me $75.00-I keep the folders and I will "think" about not giving you a negative, You are
aware that I can now give you a neg, and you cannot reciprocate? My paypal for the $75 is: XXXXXX@hotmail.com.
Thanks, Bob


NOW-My Response:


FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=Negative feedback rating" NUTCASE! NO REFUND-But heres your BONUS! YOUR NEG! SURPRISE!!!!

[2eXclusiive]

ebayhateluv - wow you got it bad, but lol
he deserved a neg.
no doubt about it, i wouldve done the same thing

[411guru]

lol me too. Well since I got his info I would call strippers and escorts to his house every day for 2 weeks. Save the email and forward it to ebay in case they give you negative. I know for sure they have a feedback withdrawal thing as I have tried it but mine expired.

[ebay-sucks]

I am ( or was ) not a negative type leaving person but for these two cases mentioned above, you bet your butt the negs would be already a done deal.
Different color vanilia, give me a break. Ask the stupid ass if you now have to put in the ad that the color may vary depending on how blind and or stupid you are.

[2eXclusiive]

he gave the dumbest reason possible, i bet if you foward that to ebay, they would shut him down, but if your using ⊗⊗⊗⊗ info. that wouldn't be a good idea

[jscan]

LMAO, good job, you handled it well, i think i would have been tempted to kick the guys ass. all over manila folders. wthhhhhhhhhhhhh
