Neg feedback Recieved.... Item not recieved... When will this arrive.

How about after you pay for it you stupid irresponsible braindead twit. You recieved that other 4 items you paid for so obviously I'm not trying to rip you off. The reminders and the Unpaid Item notice should have clued you in that maybe the problem was on your end.

Sometimes people just plain get on my nerves ..... grrrrr!

If it's really "common" sense, why do so few people actually have it?

Wow fenix that is pretty bad

But I think I may have you beat on the neg

For sending the item too fast! LOL

Yeah I got 'threatened' with a neg, as she paid PayPal, I took the confirmed address, went to the P.O. within an hour (was going anyway) and when I get back, there is an email there saying to send it to her daughters. Wrote her and told her I sent it
already to your confirmed address, and then I got B*TCHED OUT for NOT WAITING and getting her daughters address..

And there is nothing wrong with the item it is shoes in a box exactly as described.

But then I guess all she could say is
Neg: Shipped too fast!

LOLOL!

God I hate ebay sometimes...........

Two reasons why you should wait to leave feedback. It may not accomplish much, but it does feel good to give morons a negative back!

Why give them a "Neg", so you can piss them off even more, and they can quite litteraly bring your Ebay business to it's freaking knees...not very smart. Friends Will Come And Go, However enemies will remain your enemies until the day you die.

No, you give them a neg to hopefully be able to do a feedback withdrawal. This has worked for me 5 times now, all negs that were undeserved in my opinion, but are now gone.

fenix,

you've my sympathies on that one. . Hopefully the rant (and maye a cup of coffee) helped.

There will always be that less than one percentile that will neg for the dopiest reasons.

The ones I find irritating are those that neg you for not accepting paypal. I can live with them though for the pleasure of never having to worry about chargebacks, but do admit to a wee bit 'o pleasure from imagining them as the morbidly obese who are loathe to leave the comfort of their office chairs (and their open bag of <insert name of fattening junk food here> in order to mail a check, cash or m/o.

Wish ebay had a button to block those who want to pay via pp only, but I'm betting that'll never happen!

I've had a buyer or two like that too Fenix - they neg before asking questions. I guess some buyers are too ready to assume the worst of others and are looking at every seller like they are out to scam them.

Along those same lines bcpostcards...don't assume you will get chargebacks just by taking PayPal because some of the posters here write about it. I think it depends on what you sell. Postcard buyers, as a group, are a very honest and reliable group. I haven't had a chargeback in 15,000 transactions. How much business have you lost because you won't take PayPal? It isn't as much laziness as it is a desire to complete the transaction in the here and now and not have to remember to followup on it later.

hi neglus,

"don't assume you will get chargebacks just by taking PayPal because some of the posters here write about it"

I realize pp chargebacks are (again) from a very small percentile of buyers. There's actually a host of reasons why I don't use pp, (never have actually so I am admittedly not an expert), and it would probably warrant a thread of its own for everyone (me included) to hash it over. In fact, I may start one shortly as I do try to stay open-minded to new/unrealized info.

Chiefly, for a small seller of antiques/collectibles like me, and with the downwards trend of prices realized, I don't like having to hand over yet another cut of the pie. Ebay listing/final value fees, gallery, reserve fees (if needed), Vendio fees (if you use them), image hosting, it goes on and on.

I do agree though, postcard buyers, as a group, are a very honest and reliable group. Very knowledgeable about their favorite types of postcards too.


(edited to add that I've started a new thread on the paypal question, so this one can hopefully stay on topic)

Hello bcpostcards, all;

As mostly a buyer nowdays (I list 1-2 lots a week) I don't mind sending a check for something say $35.00 or more but on small items ,$10.00 or less, I usually don't even bid if they don't take PP. I appreciate the convenience of PP and on smaller items use those sellers. Of course there are exceptions but they are rare. I do spend perhps 100 a month on Ebay and find wanting PP with my sellers is not a problem.
Kind regards,
David
