PurpleSnurple Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Okay I have to say that I came across this thread earlier today and ended up reading the entire thing. I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair. This is great stuff. Awesome way to procrastinate from writing papers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Crazy time of year! So weird when a big reseller like Toywiz.com buys out your whole stock of something in an instant. They're either drop shipping or beefing up their inventory. Unless you are offering holiday returns (then you may have a concern). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Niko Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Anyone else having a ton of eBay orders from 0 feedback buyers.... I have about ten today Yup, I've had a lot. They seem to be legitimate, based on some fact checking, and most of their PP addresses are confirmed. But still, brand new to eBay (as in signed up that day) and very strange usernames.

sflv Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Anyone else having a ton of eBay orders from 0 feedback buyers.... I have about ten today I've been getting many. Those "weird" user names are automatically generated and suggested by eBay I believe. Just use tracking like always and should be fine.

Grynn Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Is this really the day to be questioning new eBay users? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legogregors Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Easily preventable in the buyer requirements. I don't see where you can prevent 0(zero) feedback new users from bidding in buyer requirements, just -1/-2/-3. Am I missing something?

hxckid88 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 yeah, i just had one request a cancellation (Tumbler set) Are u saying u r cancelling them? I think I'll ship but just get signatures on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegoBuildingMama Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 What I do with a zero feedback buyer is send them a message thanking them for their purchase, telling them that I can see they are new to Ebay and offering to answer any questions they may have prior to shipment. I have almost no problems with zero feedback buyers. I had way more problems with Russians opening chargebacks and the French customs people stealing items out of my boxes and delivering them, then from zero feedback. If it's a big dollar item and they won't message you back, then I'd likely cancel the sale. Hope this helps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 nope. this 0 feedback buyer decided $13 postage was too expensive (although he calculated the postage rate prior to using "buy it now". so he asked me to cancel it for him AFTER he already paid me using paypal. oh well... i relisted it.

Any logic behind the zero feedback/brand new buyers with extremely unusual user ids? Are they temporary or is eBay actually out of anything logical(these are very strange looking with an assortment of characters and an underscore in the two I received today.

PurpleSnurple Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 A majority of my business all year has been 0 or near 0 feedback buyers on eBay. There has never been any trouble, but they also don't remember to leave feedback. I think it's just parents who are tired of looking or shopping around for something that would rather pay the money online and save the trouble lol! Also, how about those barages of email questions on your products "where can I find this in store? My child really wants this." lol. I get a ton of those a day now. I guess it's to be expected as I sell more hot children's toys than I do Lego. My favorite week was when I got a shipment of 30 of a new toy a week before release in stores on accident and I was the ONLY seller on eBay. That was a fun week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gondorian Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Anyone else having a ton of eBay orders from 0 feedback buyers.... I have about ten today I've had a few. I guess they need to start somewhere. Still gets me suspicious though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbroncoboy Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I was wondering this as well It generates one when you do the equivalent of a guest checkout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.W. Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Now it's my turn... Buyer makes a offer on an item which I accepted within 2 hours. Next day he/she asks me (in French) to cancel the transaction, because they "found it cheaper somewhere else". Then they leave the request open for almost a week before accepting. Now I found that they left a neutral, weeks later. Ebay should really block feedback for transactions canceled on buyer's request. Buy they weren't the only ones this week: potential buyer makes an offer of 80 EUR + 6,90 for shipping. Counteroffer of 85, answer reveived is "done deal if 85 includes postage". Never heard back from her after pointing out that this is actually below her first declined offer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Dozens of fulfilled orders over the past 2 weeks.... not a single feedback left. Why is it so hard for these people to take 2 seconds to leave some feedback? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
