I recently made a purchase for $400, the seller sent it to the wrong address, then the controller was faulty, the advert says that items are sent within 1 day, 3 days later, I tried to cancel the order, but the seller posted it instead.
I left neutral feedback, but now it's disappeared, how can this be beneficial for future buyers, if sellers are getting feedback removed? It's not a level playing field.
Anyone else experienced this?
Your heading states 'buyers' removing feedback (which means you)
The seller cannot remove feedback themselves
They can report it to eBay, the bots can pick up on things or sometimes feedback does just vanish for no reason (although rare)
Nor are sellers obligated to accept cancelation request
After first sending to an address other than the one you gave, then sending something faulty, why go again?
The seller in question has rubbish feedback and you chose to buy anyway
Plus the dangers of buying something like this from random sellers not authorised to sell the product, which is not going to be up to safety standards
And their images are lifted from other sites
What did you say in the feedback?
In any event, feedback is not ever a level playing field
All buyers can only ever get positive feedback (or no feedback) even if they are the worst buyer to hit eBay
Buyers always have a choice who to buy from, and choose not to support dodgy sellers who are selling rubbish and using photos from other websites
Unlikely any other buyers who want to support these sellers would care what your feedback said
And neutral feedback does not even affect the seller's feedback % in any case
After all that nonsense, a neg within the feedback rules would have absolutely been warranted
