I left negative feedback for a seller here on eBay. Then, & 4 days later it has been removed?

[mrwhitesman]

How & why in the heck did a Negative Feedback that I left for a seller here on eBay a short time ago just go away without my permission & without notification from eBay of the removed Negative Feedback?  I myself am shocked & have never experienced this happen before after being a member on eBay for going on 8 years...  That is pretty lame & corrupt if sellers are, and have found & figured out ways behind buyers backs to remove Negative Feedback that was left for them!!  I am not happy about this being a buyer!

If this is the new eBay where sellers can now get all or almost all posted Negative Feedback removed without a requested buyers revision request, than that is pretty screwed up & will leave all buyers at risk with virtually all of us no longer truly knowing if a seller on eBay is reliable or trustworthy because they are somehow getting through to removing any or all Negative Feedback that is left for them from previous buyers so that they can look & appear to have all & only Positive Feedback.

I do not know how this is happening now or even allowed on eBay unless there is a Loophole or a Hack that eBay is not aware of that needs to be seriously addressed & looked into by eBay so that it is not allowed or able to happen again with these sneaky & stealth sellers who are causing their own Negative Feedback from sellers in the first place!!

(Someone has to say this, may as well be me) You sound like the "buyer from hell", I'm glad your neg was removed. 😂 You even weigh the products you receive and give neutral feedback over a 5ml descrepincy. 🙄. People like you should have limits and on the amount of newts and negs you dish out.

This is probably not the reaction you were expecting to get here on the boards, but it's a reaction all the same. It's not fair having nit pickers like you pepper red negs on people over petty, pointless things. If the seller stole your money, or did something outrageous, I could understand, but flogging a sellers reputation for virtually nothing but to fuel your need "to be right" isn't valid IMHO.

I doubt the American member has come back to the Australian boards in the FOUR months since they realised they weren't on the US boards.

Their qualities as a buyer certainly don't affect me - I don't sell overseas. And nobody had to say it; sellers should be able to do their own simple checks.

1floz = 29ml. 5ml short is certainly a significant discrepancy.

[davewil1964]

I should have read the feedback first.

It was a 0.5 OUNCE discrepancy, not 5ml, and is still close to 10%. And quite a while ago, to boot.

Why do you guys get upset when we dig up an old thread? 😂

Come on Dave, it's less than a teaspoon. 😂

I have never weighed items I've bought, or poured fluids out into a measuring jug. Then again, I have far more pressing things to care about.

But I do wish my life was that boring, where decanting and measuring fluids gave me an even bigger thrill than formatting my hard drive on a Friday night

[davewil1964]

I imagine when your buying special soaps and essential oils the quantity is as important as the quality. They are not cheap.

As for dragging up old threads - they are often overtaken by events or, more often, dragged up for no useful purpose. Just dragged up to express an opinion about an historical event that has no relevance.

That's priceless coming from you - 12 negs and 1 neutral in 23 feedback left, where the buyer you're whingeing about has left 4 negs and 12 neutrals in 395 feedback left.................

[aussie.grazing.boards]

Yeah, I agree

It's ridiculous. They remove negative feedback too easily. Often there is no feedback policy violation they just remove it.

You did the right thing, sent the unsatisfactory purchase back, were given a full refund and then wanted to slam the seller with a negative after they did the right thing giving you a full refund.

The negative you left was unfair, that is probably why it was removed, sellers deserve protection from vindictive buyers as well and thankfully ebay is aware of this and respond accordingly.

I realise you were disappointed and a little frustrated at having to go through the process of getting your money back but that is the problem with online shopping, it is a lot of work if you are unhappy and need to get a refund.

You just need to deal with it and move on, stewing and holding on to bad feelings will just give you an ulcer, not worth it :0)

I hope you have better luck next time.
