I’ve had purchases for which I’ve paid via Paypal go to this address hundreds of times. I waited a week to give the seller the benefit of the doubt. I guess I was dumb to give him/her even more benefit.
It would truly be unfortunate if Ebay is preventing informative seller feedback.
My current favorite example (from Garden Watchdog):
“The contents of the (customer) feedback are scandolous, hilarious and most disgusting and smack of a deranged mind. The member has let his or her imagination fly and is most likely in a fantasy world…The part of her feedback about paypal hacking is libellous and calls for legal action. A defamation suite shall be the likely action.”
I want a defamation suite! It would be nice to have a comfortable place to defame people.
A few points, just because:
-
Did you read the estimated shipping time information in the listing? Sometimes, like when you’re bidding on a foreign seller’s item, they’ll tell you right there. But you have to look and not assume.
-
I’ve made a lot of eBay purchases, especially when I was buying electronic parts for my former business. Errors were rare but did happen several times. In EVERY case, the seller made it right very quickly after receiving my message. Often by giving a prompt and dful refund and telling me to keep whatever they sent.
-
It sounds like what you received was a “port saver”. They’re used in situations where a cable is plugged in and out frequently, therefore allowing it to be unplugged there instead of the the connector on the machine itself. The goal is to prevent wear and tear on the “real” one.
No one said anything about a 5-star review. That’s a completely separate process.They just said you’re supposed to leave positive or possibly neutral feedback in that case (depending on how well they did). Negative feedback is supposed to be for if they don’t make it right. It doesn’t take a lot of it to ruin a seller.
You may not think that makes sense, but that’s how eBay works, and, as you’ve apparently noticed, you are free to not use it.
That said, I’m okay with the negative feedback in this case, because the seller is refusing to make things right. Yes, it was originally premature, and the OP should have contacted the seller first, but their subsequent actions show the seller deserved it. The way it works is that you make it right, then the buyer leaves the corrected feedback.
Changing the feedback you left isn’t as easy as you’d think.
You behave like an absolute human shit on eBay, and then whine and howl like a bitch about not being able to post certain artist’s copyrighted work on Youtube.
I have to figure karma is at work somewhere. You are a monster of petty entitlement.
WOW! Youtube and E-bay in one week!
