User ID

How do you hide your user ID when posting negative comments on a supplier. I recently posted a negative comment but my user ID was shown.

Your ID will only be known to you on their feedback, not to everyone.

sign out by clicking on your name top left to get that option, then look again. It will be disguised like all the others.

the seller will know, though, if that is what you are worried about...that cannot be changed as that is not anonymous.

just looked at the negatives you left.

do not let a seller talk you out of a Paypal claim for items not received past the 45 days you have of buyer protection.

if they don't respond, and it is a reasonable time frame to wait, give it a few more days then start a claim, no later than about day 40 or so.

after that if you paid with a crdit card, talk to your bank about a chargeback, you have longer for that.

The seller can also reply to your negative feeback by your ID which then will be visible for all to see.

Thanks I asked because when I looked under the negative comments other ID's have been blanked out but mine is in full view.
the seller has now contacted me to reverse my comment back to a negative one.

Sorry that have read a positive comment. He wants me to change negative to positive.

While you are logged in to your account your ID will be visible in full to you but no-one else, except the seller of course.

don't get bullied into it. If he doesn't resolve your problem in a manner that makes you view the transaction differently, don't get pressured - ring eBay and they will deal with it for you.
