Title: What would YOU do
Post by: trout on February 26, 2013, 11:56:08 AM
I bought 5 Canberra florins from a seller with a pic of a good EF-aUNC in the listing, The listing stated that all the coins are of this quality.
I recived the coins and one of them IS good EF-aUNC the rest are Crap maybe fine if lucky.

The problem is this seller has just bought some of my listings.

I left the seller neutral feed back on the crappy coins, I just know I will get a neg or neutral feedback on my coins even tho there is nothing wrong with the coins or the listings but it is a matter of principle and I will stick to mine :ebay:

Is there any way I can thwart this sellers bad feeback ?

Personally I wouldn't do anything and be prepared to take the knock.  If you're selling things you're bound to run into an ass at some stage and there's absolutely nothing you can do to keep them happy.

You could block him from buying any more of your items, that's about the only course of action available to you now.

I have the right of reply if any unwanted/unwarented feedback is left.
Anyway most of the people that buy my stuff are miltiple repeat buyers and know I dont sell Crap ( Unless I list it as crap).
I am just waiting for the blackmail emails to remove the feedback I left to start :diablo:
I don't leave neutral or negitive feedback lightly and If I do it is WELL deserved, I have NEVER let myself be blackmailed or bullied before and I am buggered if I am going to start diong that now :aggressive:
I may be weird but I am actualy looking forward to this :laugh2: :dance2:

Did you contact the sellerto say that you weren't happy with the purchase and perhaps try to negotiate a refund before leaving the neutral?

I asked via email if the coins were ALL of the same standard and got lied to, why would I bother to negotiate with him it is only a $60 loss and not worth my effort and time to ship them back.

In the eBay world a neutral really means diddly anyway. I suppose eBay ettiquete is to give a seller the opportunity to right a wrong and if they don't then give a neg. if the seller negs you as a buyer then knowing the gutless eBay they will do diddly. I work hard to please everybody but you never can. I personally don't avoid a seller with a neg anyway. A pattern of negs I do. Good luck mate and let us know what happens.

Thanks Mate :drinks:
I realy don't care , I am more of a buyer than a seller anyway.
When I sell I am always honest in my descriptions and post the best pic's I can.
What you see is what you get is my way of selling extra stuff and I always start at 99 cents.
I listed a bunch of stuff simply to get my "power seller" and top rated seller status back because I havent sold anything for ages.
If this blows it for me "So be it", as long as I maintain my personal integrity and values, all is well :good:

Dont worry about it until it happens,the buyer may have some integrity and you may not get a negative but if you do its not the end of the world even though it will seem like it at first.Just put it down to bad luck and move on

Trout,
I admire your honesty and integrity and hope that others not behaving on the same manner does not upset you too much.
It just occurred to me.l that when I have read feedback disputes between buyers and sellers, I often form an idea whose version is trustworthy/correct based on style and quality of the comments.
When one person looks like an unreasonable idiot and the other appears reasonable it is easy to form an opinion.
I am sure whatever you post will maintain peoples good image of you.

Live and let live is my motto Mate :good:
If I screwed up on eBay I would expect to be censured for it.
It’s just that lately  I have had a terrible run of crappy deals from sellers I have tried for the first time and am quite frankly “over it” with the lying and cheating attitude of some sellers.
As I don’t have access to coin dealers locally I have to buy my coins “On Line” and eBay accounts for about 75% of my coin purchases.
There should be a strict code of conduct on eBay and if not adhered to then Banishment should be imposed on dodgy sellers.
