DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 here we go again with the feedback topic. I wrote a blog article on it the other day and how and why you should always do it. I thought about bringing up this thread. Lol. Quote
jaisonline Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Some guy just listed a BIN for a set and said it was 95% complete and if someone bought it they would get the bricklink wanted list. I asked him if I could see the list because I would buy it if I new it wasn't missing the important pieces. He said "I spent a lot of the time on the list. It is an enticement for the winning buyer that they get the list". UMMMMMMM.... What? Why would anyone buy it if they don't know what's missing. And why would withholding that information make someone buy it? he is a "mo mo" (moron x2). why the heck would he hide it. heck, without that list you could easily spend a small fortune on bricklink even before factoring in shipping. take the 10175 UCS Vader Tie Defender. I picked one up for $70. however, i had a 'nice' blurry pic that at least showed me the major included elements. if it ended up the cockpit window was missing, that would cost me $70 plus postage (only one listed on bricklink - http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?itemID=66668&colorID=12 ) if i needed it ASAP.

Exactly. I was just trying to be nice too and tell him he would get more money if he put it in the listing. He started acting like it was hidden information - like no one but him knows how to build it. MY PRECIOUS... Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted July 31, 2013 Posted July 31, 2013 Isn't this a more appropriate picture considering our focus on LEGO ? 1 Quote

akohns Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 1 out of 2 buyers over the last couple weeks have been from Russia and Israel buying $100 or more items. They have 0-3 feedback and their account is less than 3 months old. Sometimes as new as 1 day. Sometimes they use the same shipping address for three different purchases from three different accounts. I can't ship with a tracking number via the ebay shipping page to these countries. Anyone know for sure if you can still do Priority Express to Russia or Israel? Quote
matt1147 Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 Another LOL listing...http://bit.ly/14vhYxc Quote
matt1147 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 So I had a seller cancel a transaction (and refund my money) after I already paid and sent a message that basically explained a personal situation and please don't hold it against them and please don't leave negative feedback. While sympathetic to the situation, isn't this still a "negative" experience from my end since it was communicated after I paid and after she already refunded me? Or am I being too harsh since I was issued a full refund? Looking for other perspectives... /Matt Quote
pickleboy Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 IMO it depends on the reason they gave. If they cancelled all their listings I wouldn't hold it against them. Life sometimes gets hard for everyone... If their reason was shady/iffy and they are still selling everything else then I might be upset. You did get your $$ back and didn;t have to chase them down...how upset can you really be? Enough to maybe screw up someone's business/side income? I personally only leave negative feedback for those who don't send my item or I get screwed somehow. I like to error on the side of being understanding. We are all people. Quote
Alcarin Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I usually put positives on any canceled items... I accidently bought Orc Forge from some german and i clicked too fast and had higher shipping asked to cancel he did it instantly and got positive... also some guy was bidding on multiple items and asked for cancellation due to shipping costs and I did and he gave me positive. So ye... its a little different situation, but ask him to give you positive and you give positive back IF he has a decent reason... if he will just relist i would put neg. Quote

Looking for other perspectives... /Matt Just remember you may have to cancel a transaction a few times in your selling career for one reason or another and what goes around comes around if you leave a negative rating. Give the benefit of the doubt and have some faith in humanity. Quote
pkieu87 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Agree with above post. I am generally very nice/courteous on eBay simply because it doesn't hurt to, as long as business was fair and no money is lost. It's a waste of time and energy to go through a conflict than to just ignore and go onto the next transaction. Quote
matt1147 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Ok so far it looks like I was looking at it too black and white - "business is business." Even if the cancellation was basically because she changed her mind (due to family situation). What about leaving positive but stating the transaction was cancelled? Edit: thanks for the feedback everyone! Quote
Guest betsy805 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Agree with everyone else. I'd save the negative feedback for when you actually get screwed over. A million things could have happened in this instance, but at least they told you and refunded you promptly. Quote

I personally only leave negative feedback for those who don't send my item or I get screwed somehow. I like to error on the side of being understanding. We are all people. This says it all. Even if they run out of stock, I just leave them positive. I have accidentally keyed in the wrong values before as well. It happens. At least they messaged you about it. Quote
