BEWARE if you bought post satchels over last 7 days or still buying

[ford12ford]

A certain seller sold 100's of prepaid post satchels, I bought off them too, they were markd as posted then 4 days later refunded money and said they can only except bank deposit. A BIG SCAM and they have received 23 negatives last 24 hours. They are still selling on ebay despite being reported. They are neaLY UNDER SCORED ....

It is interesting the ratings are still high with now 31 negatives for having fraud listings. So obviously ebay seller ratings mean NOTHING. Impossible to have a 5 star rating for postage, I gave 0 and I am sure 31 others did gave a 0 

1 month 6 months 12 months Positive 9 41 41 Neutral 1 1 1 Negative 30 30 30

Criteria Average rating Number of ratings Item as described 47 Communication 47 Postage time 46 Postage and handling charges 54

If postager is 'free' the buyer doesn't get to leave a star rating for P&H charges. As you would know if you actually left a rating.

If you don't leave a star rating it does not register at all.

If you want to show your displeaure with an aspect of a transaction you need to leave one star at least.

Agree, but 30 people leaving 1 star would still not mean a score still of 4 surely. He may have 2 ID's too as same is now happening with  brownieflow1 so maybe ripping ebayers off on two or even more ID's.

Interestingly, Feedback there now set to Private and 0 listings ?!?

Best of luck, I hope you have more success with PayPal, it is disgraceful eBay allowed them to continue selling

That's actually interesting.  Making feedback private doesn't hide the number of each pos, neut or neg feedback - I wonder if some members who chose to make their feedback private, realise that?  In that particular case, 5 negative feedback is clearly shown, regardless of the content of feedback being hidden (private)

A scammer doesn't care if it still shows as 5 negs,(they make their feedback private so that the comments don't

show).

The comments would alert others that they sold scam listing and those buyers would then be able to notify

eBay that they have scam listings and those buyers may be able to get their money back.

37 Negatives now, and still has a 4 star rating, altho not full stars.... shows the ebay star system is USELESS as a guide to anything 

[*tippy*toes*]

A lot of the buyers leaving the negs may not have given a star rating, so the rating wouldn't alter. Some also may think that leaving no stars is worse than leaving 1. Far better to leave 1 star than none, as mentioned further up the thread (I know you know that, just mentioning again for anyone else that may pop in and read this).

It's cold consolation, but while his account is still active, he would have been suspended from selling, probably permanently. Often when they suspend your selling privileges, they still allow you to buy (why I don't know!). Unless he creates a new account (which eBay will find out about as soon as he puts all his details in), he can't rip anyone else off.

As for the feedback being private, we just have to assume that all the negs are saying the same thing.

Edit: When you compare his current star rating to the screen shot at the top of this page, the rating has dropped. Not by much, but it has dropped.
