I sold a phone and here was my CLEAR description of the item:
"2 out of 5 stars, item is in very poor cosmetic condition. Will display significant signs of use including the front frame which has a one inch crack on the top left side"
The buyer leaves me a negative feed in SPANISH..stating.."why didnt you tell me phone has damage bad"......

Communicate 'nicely' with the buyer. If it doesn't work out, email eBay what you just said + include the correspondence you had with the buyer.

Leave it for now. Deal with it tomorrow when you (and the buyer) are more calm. By dealing with an already heated situation, your just adding fuel to a burning flame.
I usually contact any customers who leave neg's after a week, give them time to cool down.

I am trying to find an accurate english to spanish translator to message the buyer

You're lucky they didn't open a return.... in cases of international returns you're almost better off letting them keep the item free. Often once you pay shipping both ways its not even worth fighting.
This goes hand in hand with the other thread... ebay is ranking other countries right in with our search results. So this will keep happening... the more exposure we have to international buyers the more international headaches will happen

There is no harm in contacting ebay about it to hear their say. Best to email, if they reject your claim. dispute with more or the same evidence, if you repeat this process 2-3 times, sometimes, they do remove the defect from your account.
If it does not work out then, as above, contact the ebayer calmly and if they agree, send them a feedback revise request

A feedback revise request simply is a part from him to change the feedback to a positive one

Are you getting this from an international sale or from selling within the USA.
Two options stand out to me... |
