Forgive me if this is a dumb question But...

Can anyone explain why buyers leave Negs or Neutrals without contacting sellers first..

 

Ok you go into Coles, Harvey Norman, Target or whatever buy an item take it home and open it up, find it has a small tear, mark scratch or what ever...what do you normally do.....take it back, speak to someone, get a refund  or a replacement.... all is good or do you just walk up to the door and draw a big red circle on the door letting eveyone know you got a faulty item and walk away keeping the faulty item......NO of course you wouldn't......

 

Buy off eBay, pay, receive the item it has a small scratch, bend, mark, wrong size  or what ever, what should be done, contact seller ....YES, try to sort something out.... YES...   BUT what do a lot of buyers do is..... slap a bit red Neg or Grey Neut on the seller...and ignore.....That'l fix 'em.....Why on earth do that.....does that solve your problem...NO....you are left with an angry seller who  probably won't do much to help you, except block you from buying and pass the word arond to all the other sellers who you are and what you did, they then also block you.......What have you gained.....nothing...you are probably left with a faulty item that had you contacted the seller would have replaced refunded or helped in some way.........it just does not make sense.....

 

Ok I agree there are some pretty shady sellers, not only on eBay but also on other websites too....I have come across a couple myself..but mostly sellers are willing to help if there is a problem...give them at least a chance to resolve the problem....you would be surprised at how many are really willing to help you......good honest sellers who may have missed something when packing, accidently sent the wrong item. it does happen we are only human the same as buyers we are all human, and humans make little mistakes when busy.......

 

Why would anyone prefer to slap a neut or Neg on a seller without trying to sort it out forst has got me beat...can anyone shed some light so sellers can understand too....

the gauge most frequently used is "what a reasonable person would think"

I use to but no longer bother. I had items that when opening it was clear they were not in good condition contacted the sellers and they offer me a less than 5%refund what's the point. Then I pay return postage. Ok u say if I go to a shop I have to drive back to return but I check things even every piece of a dinner set if I don't and something is not right it's my fault. But if I buy on ebay I expect the seller to inspect. Now I am not unreasonable if its something easily missed or could happen in the post fine but when it's clear a seller hasn't checked nah I am not wasting anymore time or money. I except the loss leave honest feedback and go on with the rest of my day
