Just got one of those Neutrals...

You know the ones. The kind that show that eBay should do "Buyer Training" to let buyers know what a neutral is 🙂

Er well um maybe the buyer thought the only other 2 options were drive & park ? ;\

Looks like their other FB left is more appropriate with pos/neut comments, so may have been left using a phone etc. I'd send a polite message and see if it was an error and ask to revise to a positive if it was.

The buyer immediately below the neutral deserves a neg just for the way they did the feedback.

What a shocker.

Oh dear. Now surely eBay can and should change that to a positive?

I'm sure they think it looks pretty cool, bump.

Surely you're joking. Unless it's against eBay rules to characterise your wording like that.

Um, er, yes I am joking, you don't think I would seriously suggest a person should be negged for writing in such a nonsensical way?

However, I would be serious about banning such people from using eBay.]:)

Bump is a very serious person.

Good one, Foxy

Is that your coffee splatter or mine on my screen?

Actually you're safe with me - I don't eat fish. Be very careful if you are surrounded by sushi lovers.

Nahhh, I'll let it go, I think. I just wish I could see the look on the face of every person who thought they'd look to see where I'd gone wrong as a seller.

I very much doubt it'll affect my overall performance.

Or do you think I'm wrong and it may do so? I suppose that would be the only reason I'd consider asking for it to be changed.

I very much doubt even a negative would affect your overall performance. As they say, don't sweat the small stuff.

Re: Just got one of those Neutrals...

I remember how much my first neutral affected me. I'd only sold a handful of stuff and it was my 2nd or 3rd feedback as a seller! I was depressed like anything. I think I'm becoming immune now 🙂

I sure would worry though if my overall performance and feedback was like some I've seen.

Cal you have nothing to worry about.

You can ask for a red one to make it more festive I guess. 🙂

Green and red are great Xmas colors

I don't think you can ask for a feedback revision for a neutral...only a negative.

Look on the bright side - the world hasn't ended.
