Help got neg ebay feedback I don't think I deserve

[VirtualLarry]

What a dumb broad. Neg her back and no refund.

God I hate fleabay.

I don't know if you missed the memo, but ebay feedback is one-sided, now the seller can't neg the buyer.

Interesting. I wasn't aware Best Buy was qualified to service LCD monitors. Can she provide any evidence that a technician looked at the monitor and found these issues?

Even if she can, I don't see why it'd matter. Like you said, the PSU is messed up. You never claimed that it would be possible, easy, or cheap to fix it.

That would carry about the same weight as if she had asked a two-year-old to look at the monitor.

Wow, she left negs for eforcity and best_buy_outlet. You would think that the logical thing to do would be to contact their customer service dept. first.

Is there any way, if one were to sell on ebay, to check the feedback that a potential bidder has left for other sellers, and cancel their bid if they have left too many negative feedbacks?

I'm starting to think that the buyer is a stupid b*tch. She seems to leave negative feedback if she hasn't received an item about 7 days after winning the auction.

With retail chains like Best Buy and eforcity, my main port of call would be to contact them if something was amiss and not rely on them reacting to negative feedback being left.

UPDATE, she told me:
I went today to take it to Best buy, monitor was beyhond what I could do for repair. as it turns out it is the power supply AND faulty wiring within the unit! it was ridiculous. it seems as if someone tampered with it before it got to me! anyways, this is FAR too much of my time to be spending on a monitor, Bottom line is I got taken, and you were the one who did so. I still will never understand why you would sell garbage on EBAY and then not COMPLETELY clarify that the monitor was useless, no power, nothing, and also put in the long statement you just emailed to me about the past problems this manufacturer was having with this particular monitor.

she wants to mail it back to me even if I won't refund, so I told her if she provides photo evidence that the internal psu is replaced correctly and doesn't fix it, I will refund the money, or if she just ships it back and removes the neg I will refund $30.

How in the world is she supposed to provide you with "photographic evidence the PSU is replaced corectly"?

And it sure sound like you tried to fix the monitor yourself and messed up the wiring when you put it back together. And then you try to sell this on EBay!!

Your initial statement in your OP said: "My 24 inch lcd broke so I sold it on ebay"
Wow, you are an asshole.

Anyway, your reply to her pretty well guaranty your neg is there to stay.

I think you're an asshole. I've bought several broken phones on eBay for parts. Those sellers weren't assholes. I'd call them an asshole if they wouldn't sell it to me because it was broken and I needed parts.

I don't know if you missed the memo, but ebay feedback is one-sided, now the seller can't neg the buyer.

Yea, I missed that memo. That's really shitty.

That seems to be what the buyer is trying to imply, and I'd hope the OP has been candid with us, because that would be a pretty important thing to leave out of the auction description and his posts on here. Am also curious what she meant by this: and also put in the long statement you just emailed to me about the past problems this manufacturer was having with this particular monitor. I'm going to trust that OP has given us all the pertinent information.

But then again, the buyer seems pretty shady to me. Who's to say that she didn't make up this whole thing about visiting Best Buy, and the monitor appearing to be tampered with? It was blatantly obvious she was bluffing earlier about talking to a lawyer, so I wouldn't put it past her to make up more lies in an attempt get the seller to cave to her demands. Or if she did actually take it to Best Buy and a qualified technician examined it, I'm trying to figure out how she jumped to the conclusion that, because the wiring was faulty, that means OP tampered with it. Faulty wiring could have been due to a manufacturer defect.

I am being candid. I looked into fixing it locally, and myself and decided that the power supply was broken, but I couldn't find one that matched and I didn't want to do the mod trick with a cpu psu so I sold it without ever taking the lcd apart or changing any internal wiring. I have left out small bits and pieces of what both of us have said, because it has become quite long but I think I summarized everything that wasn't quoted except for the most recent one. What she is talking about is I said that all of th people who had that model not turn on after a year or two and investigated it and reported it on the internet that I found had had a bad psu. She took this to mean I was selling a junk soyo that can't work, which while soyo is not a great brand, it is not junk to avoid like emachines or something, and I replied that soyo has been reviewed as the best value 24 inch lcd and that to get better quality you have to pay more.

I find it sad you choose to believe her who leaves mostly negs recently, instead of your fellow AT'er who has 100% heat. I did not try to fix the monitor myself, beyond research, i moved no screws and took nothing apart, no modifications. She could provide photorial evidence step by step as was done here: http://computerguru365.blogspot.com/2008/01/fix-that-lcd-flat-panel-monitor.html
ie photo of old, photo with removed, photo with new one.
But with what seems her level of intelligence I doubt she could open up the monitor without breaking something, since I thought it looked kind of tricky with the way it was put together, let alone identify the psu inside of it. But she has admitted all along she knew it needed a new psu, she just didn't think it was very hard from the way I said it because I didn't say this is hard morons cannot do this.

 

[frostedflakes]

Fair enough then. I figured as much, because it makes no sense to create a thread like this asking for advice and not give us the full story. Just wanted to confirm, though.

What a mess. Please keep us up to date, I'd be interested to see how this all turns out.

Maybe I was being too harsh on you. Like you said if your heat is at 100% you can't be out there trying to screw people. I still think you add was misleading but your buyer is definitely not being honest with you.
Good luck and keep us posted.

There's lots of dumb bitches on ebay.

The only issues I've ever had with ebay buyers has been with women flipping out cause well...they are just dumb bitches.

One time I had a woman flip out because the shipping cost of something ended up being $1.75 less than she got charged (ebay calculator always seems to over-estimate). Which is fine, I refunded her the difference. She still flipped out and left a negative, that after sending me numberous rude emails. I just responded to the negative feedback that she was crazy.

Fuck em...take the negative and ignore her. It's not worth the headache just for ebay. The negative will go away eventually anyway.
