False Feedback!!!

gigglentickle — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 01:50:15 GMT

Ok I know I am entitled to have this feedback removed because it is a false positive (I have another account but this my buying one) but take a look at the feedback I have received and the feedback they ALWAYS leave for others.

"Buyer did not pay for item, waited 5 days sending polite messages no response".... I won the auction on 15/3/13, paid 16/3/13 it is now 17/3/13 and she claims she has messaged for 5 days?

Do I have enough reason to cancel my transaction? Honestly I do not want to deal with this person. I routinely check feedback on sellers but rarely check their feedback left for others.

Now THAT would have to be one of the oddest things I've ever read-2 pages of alleged non payers all dated yesterday ?? Wonder if someone in the sellers house is playing silly buggars with their account ?

I'd say this seller has set their preferences to automatically leave f/b when a buyer pays and something's gone wrong with the message that's being left.

If I were you I'd message the seller and (politely) point this out to them - they're probably not aware of it and, if it was me, I'd be mortified. It's obviously an error of some kind - don't take it personally 🙂

I think you are quite right, something fishy is happening here... and you should put in a Paypal claim immediately, although I take it that this was only .99c?

I might be more worried if I had bought her Ipad for $600 😉

she's giving the signs of someone about to take the money and run...

And all the feedback before those false positives are exactly the same? Very odd.

autofeedback... saves typing and trying to think of something suitably smarmy to suck up to your buyers with every time 😉

It looks like the Apple ipad was not paid for and in leaving feedback has not realised that they have change the autofeedback comment.

Almost certainly the result of using a false pos comment and not realising that leaving auto comments could replicate it.

I have no sympathy for them, if they had not left a false pos in the first place it wouldn't have happened.

I should imagine if even a tenth of those buyers report the false pos feedback they will find their compliance rating so low they may be suspended from selling.

I see 30 & if all those buyers report that seller to ebay-irrespective of what has happened-I'd say they'll be NARU.

It looks like the original false positive was left for another buyer on the 16th.. Incidentally when you check the buyers feedback there are two more false positive left by another seller.

No comment, it would appear I am not allowed to comment on such matters:^O

I think the word I would use is "Karma" should I be silly enough to comment.:^O

Ok as an update.... the seller has gotten in contact and explained it was the auto feedback that got sent out to everyone as someone above had said may have been the case.

So all is well that ends well I guess.

How is she going to explain that to 30 people AND ebay AND expect to not get negged until the cows come home AND not end up NARU.;\

I think its far from ended & hasn't even started IMO.
