Ebay feedback question.

[dak125]

About a month ago I sold a set of Logitech Z-680 speakers on Ebay. The winning bidder bid on the item with 20 seconds left. He only had 2 feedback. As soon as the auction ended I sent him the winning bidder reciept and got no response. Needless to say, a week and a half later I hadn't heard from the guy once. I relisted the item and sold to someone I contacted who bidded on the auction.

Now, I want to leave a negative feedback but I don't want the guy to turn around and leave me a negative feedback for no wrong doing on my part. I have about 15 positive feedback, so that 1 negative wouldn't look too good. What would you guys do in this position? I want to warn others of this dead beat buyer but I don't like the looks of the repercussions.

Thanks,
DaK

90 days is the time you have to leave feedback. wait until there's a minute or two left of that 90 days and leave the neg. kekeke.

Ha, that was my original plan. But, then I was looking around Ebay and it said approximately 90 days. Is it deffinitely 90 days?

Followup question. Can they reply to your comment (like some people do) after the original 90 days are up? I'm thinking of a system where they have, say, a week to respond to something. I'm in a similar situation and want to make sure this jerk can't screw me over.

not sure, but i got 27 days left before i can speak my mind about one seller

If you report him as a non-pay I think you can block him from leaving you feedback. That way you get your original listing fees back.

Just file a non-paying bidder report and get your listing fee back.

How do you do that?

They can reply, but only to the feedback you left them, on their feedback page. they cannot respond to the feedback in as much as it will show up on your feedback.

Not sure what you mean by that.

I looked over the unpaid article (thanks btw) but I already re-sold the item. All I want to do is leave feedback for the dead beat without the repercussions of him messing up my feedback. I didn't see anywhere in there that he can't leave feedback for me. Any ideas?

Someone posted here that you no longer can do that wait 89 days and a few minutes to post a neg.

 

[KarenMarie]

ok.. what i mean is...

if you look at someones fback and it is a complaint, the person receiving the feedback has an opportunity to respond. so when you read their fback page you see the fback and the response:

SellerEADBEAT BIDDER
Buyer: Not true

So, in that case the buyer CAN respond to the NEG at or after 90 days, but he cannot leave fback for you on the same transaction is it is after 90 days.

Sorry, I explained it poorly.

 

[dak125]

No problem Karen.

I'm going to try the 90 day deal. Hopefully it'll work.

FVF assumes that everyone pay immediately but it's a pain since it take so long to get back the fee..They should make it voluntary instead of mandatory after someone bid and won:thumbsdown:

Why don't we just let the non paying bidder off instead of trying to make them pay for up to 10 days?
ebay is too strict, it is a pain to force someone to pay if their not serious about buying; they're just not worth the hassle. Its much easier if someone else who wants it really bad and would pay asap...
