I think a neg coming-

egyptian-shop — Sun, 11 Oct 2015 10:40:57 GMT

I posted an item yesterday, the day it was bought and paid for. I received an email from the buyer today asking can I leave feedback. I said my feedback is given automatically once feedback is left, that way I know you have received your item. Right or wrong thats the way I do it.

I just got another email saying "ok **bleep** head - I'd better receive it"

If I do receive a neg would I have grounds to have it removed?

"right or wrong that's the way I do it" is really not needed and perhaps why he followed with such a comment.

The feedback comment will only be removed in certain circustances.

Id try to report the buyer NOW, for aggressive threats toward you (because thats what that is). Then you have it on record that there are issues with this buyer, long before he files a complaint or gives a neg (IF that happens). I think that would give you a little more cred in trying to get any neg etc removed.

After you report him... chillax. It hasnt happened yet, and might not.

While I do the same, automatic feedback after it is left, I would reply explaining that is what I do so I can keep track of which items have been received but if they would send me a message to confirm receipt I would be more than happy to leave feedback then and they are under no obligation to leave any for me.

It is better to send the email before you name the wax effigy and slowly melt it over a candle while sticking pins in it

Yes I did write and explain about the automatic feedback.

He reply was immediate and uncalled for, I won't be contacting him again. I feel sure he will write again if the item is not received very quickly and I also feel sure he will leave a neg.

I'll worry about it when the time comes.

---------------------------------

I'm just wondering what he had better receive-the parcel or the feedback.

The feedback, I presume.

He's being a bit **bleep** about the whole thing & quite rude into the bargain, but I'm guessing this is not exactly all about you, you are just the straw that broke this camel's back. He is obviously fed up with buying, giving feedback then never receiving any in return from a lot of the sellers.

And he figures he has paid & fulfilled all his part of the bargain, so why the delay.

Look, we all know exactly why & we know feedback is voluntary.

I am assuming the parcel must have been sent without any tracking, if feedback is the way a seller knows that a parcel has been received.

What I would suggest though is keep a daily eye on feedback and as soon as this man gives feedback, give feedback in return & (as long as everything has gone okay & he has given a nice positive comment & rating) say something nice. I'm not sure what, you can hardly say it has been a pleasure. Maybe extremely fast payment or something.

I guarantee if posted without tracking it will be an INR and then a negative feedback

It's going to be interesting to find out what happens next, if Egyptian gets back to us.

Items should be received in the next day or so, I will let you know what happens then.

A friend of mine sent you a PM, .....if you are as polite, as you say you are, l feel that a Thank You for her 4 suggestions to assist you, is the very least that you could do.

We all come here for help & assistance in one form or another, others giving up their time and knowledge/wisdom, to help requests from fellow ebayer's.

l firmly believe and always have, that the most anybody would expect in return, is just a good old fashioned, Thank You.

Only two words, but they convey a powerful message, Thank You, egyptian-shop.

If they do neg you over the feedback thing, or for any other reason and eBay refuse to remove it, don't forget to put their username in the reply so we can see who they are. e.g <username> feedback is voluntary

Thank you Old.Corner.Shop but I had all intentions of replying to the person who was kind enough to write to me. I've never had a PM before and now haven't got a clue how to find it again., I've only briefly been on the computer so far today.

I was only on long enough earlier to carry out a couple of the suggestions made!

Can someone tell me how to get the message again please.

I agree with reporting the buyer to eBay now (for the swearing). If they do leave you a negative, you'll have a better chance of getting it removed if you can show that they're unreasonable. I'd also point out that the wording constitutes a threat, which is against eBay policy

I absolutely can't handle feedback nags. I had one awhile ago . . . she bought an item, I posted it the same day, and then I closed my store for 3 days and went on a short holiday . . . came back to about 7 messages from her, all nagging me to leave feedback.

Some of the messages were these massive rants about how she's never had to wait so long to receive feedback, and it'd only take me a minute, and so on and so forth.

It annoyed me so much that I waited a few more days before replying and leaving her feedback. And then I blocked her because eBay is difficult enough without having to worry about buyer feedback which is, frankly, meaningless.

Please let us know what happens, OP.

I had a nagger a few weeks ago. She left me feedback and then bombarded me with messages several times a day about why I hadn't left her feedback yet. She was saying things like, I left you feedback, I paid straight away, I need to be rewarded blah blah blah. Seems some people are buying green dots rather than buying items they want. As she had already left me feedback, so couldn't damage my account, I archived the transaction and added her to my blocked list. No, she didn't get her feedback. I refuse to be dictated to by buyers like that.
