Revenge Positive Feedback Not Working - offending text gets deleted

[imjustme]

I've already started to think on how I can leave negative feedback in a positive way when eBay will stop allowing sellers to leave true negatives. I've been thinking something like:

WARNING: BAD BUYER

or

+++ BAAAAAAAAD BUYER+++ AVOID +++

Something that other sellers can easily spot..

What are your thoughts?

[twdell]

it's about our only option, but after the feedback becomes a month or two old and it is on their second page of feedbacks, no one is going to see it any way.

i don't understand why ebay will even have a percentage rating for buyer accounts anymore. every single buyer is going to look outstanding because they will all have 100% feedback.

i sometimes block someone who emails me or bids on one of my items if they have like a 93.2% rating. now every idiot can bid on my stuff, and it's gonna be hit or miss if they pay. i also have buyers blocked who have 2 negs in the last month. i guess that option is gone now too.

man, i am so ticked off.

I was only reminded of this change yesterday. I dont think leaving negative comments on positive feedback is really worth while.

If a buyer was threatening to neg me i would probably find more fun and use in pulling out a few tricks from the bag. ie: prank them all through the nite, sign them up to all sorts services, ie: dogwash, window wash, gardening services, tree stump removal service, strippergram service, pizza delivery service etc. obviously not from your home phone, but from a payphone or something.

you have there address and phone number from ebay, so make good use of it i think. Im sure someone would get sick of this enough not to neg you for somthing stupid.

Thats just my point of view.

Too BUsy for all that stuff..
I am thinking about my items for over $200- blocking/cancelling bids for buyers under 100 fb?
When I did an analysis for my buyers of my items that are high ticket, their feedback ranges average from 118--5240, then taking the number of sales divided by the fb, it averages to 470 avg..

[jscan]

On some of my higher end items i ask for buyers with 0 feedback or that have incurred a negative feedback to message me before they bid, of course they never do because they are just idiots.

I just let them bid my items up then at the last minute block them so someone else can outbid them, then they start whinning to me ohhhh why cant i bid bla bla bla.

[imjustme]

I just read you also can't leave neutral anymore. For me, it is quite clear. If someone leaves me a negative where I'm not at fault, I will get him suspended.

[twdell]

oh yes there's going to be even more suspensions, and at the hand of the buyers.

[imjustme]

Of course, since eBay said they will remove negative feedbacks if the buyer is suspended. Seems to be my options are clear now. You leave me negative without reason, I will get you suspended so that it is removed.

Want to share your tips Imjustme?

[imjustme]

So that eBay will read it, fix it and leave us all with negative feedback? Not really

[mantisinc]

Noooo, not publically. In PM/email/IM I was referring to.

[imjustme]

From what I can see, they will remove all negatives from all buyers, no matter how long they've been registered. But they will leave positives if they are older than 90 days.

[twdell]

if there is some reason why i deserve a negative then that's fine, but for the buyers who are just plain idiots and leave them for stupid reasons then yes i would love to get them suspended to get the neg removed. i avoid negs at all cost, and work with the buyers to resolve. i have going over this a million times, and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get a buyer suspended. getting a seller suspended isn't that hard. i will have to do some research.

[Lisa B]

I'm just not going to bother leaving any good feedback for any of my customers, regardless if the transaction was good.

I think all sellers should do the same.

File non paying buyer alerts. When a buyer gets 3 of these, they are killed by ebay.

[ebayisanecessaryevil]

In reading the ebay feedback forums which are ON FIRE about all this, I read about a buyer, reaper-69, who negged a seller, then the seller left a less than stellar positive. Within a day, the text of his positive was removed!!

It now reads "This comment has been removed by eBay" and the kicker is the little jerk keeps the positive towards his score!

[aspkin]

Lol, Worthless... Completely worthless.

[jscan]

exactly as aspkins said.

id rather get them back using there details to either have them pranked through the night or order services to there address.

ebay's policy states that a postive feedback with a negative comment will get removed. i left a reply about this in another post a couple of days ago.

[gotgameplan]

If you leave an negative comment to a buyer Ebay removes the comment but leaves the green postive and writes "This comment removed by EBay". When you see a comment like that go and check what that buyer has left for others! This is actually a nice heads up! I thought this was a good idea also, but I checked the "Feedback Abuse" link and changed my mind. Ebay will penalize sellers who do this, including suspending the account.Also that in itself should be your cue to be wary of the buyer! Take a lookeBay Feedback Profile for reaper-69
Take a look at this buyer who waited till the 19th he had a filed day leaving neu and negs holding my breath on a few 100% my selfeBay Feedback Profile for pichicago My fav has to be "mailed in a diaper" LOL

[411guru]

Amazing. He knew about the feedback policy change and he took advantage of it. Horrible ebay.

[2emptypockets]

One seller I know left " BEWARE THE IDES OF MAY "
and " ET TU JOHN DONAHOE"

Another seller is leaving
Thank you for the John Donahoe

the bots wont remove them and other sellers know what it means
