Worse ebay experience

[steam555]

Everybody be warned if you come across this seller on ebay
Don't buy from him, just had the worse experience. He won't communicate about his item for sale during the ebay auction, after you have paid, he makes you wait 7 days so that he can transfer the funds from his paypal to bank account before posting, (he recons he is doing nothing wrong by making people wait) if you leave him neutral or negative feedback, he then makes threats and sends you threatening messages that if you don't change the feedback, he then leaves you insulting personal and threatening feedback about your family that is not related to the sale or performance of the buyer or seller.

That seller is never going to become a trusted ebay seller.. don't they have to post items within one day?

Ebay encourage all sellers to post as fast as possible. Why do sellers need to wait until the buyers funds are in their own bank account?

Now with ebay postage labels you can charge the postage cost to your seller account (can pay that off in advance by using the buyers funds in sellers paypal account).

A classic example of why sellers are no longer allowed to leave negtive feedback.

If it is any consolation, his comments to you would not, i think, influence anyone to think badly of you. They reflect more on him.

They contain no objective information, simply abuse.

Someone said this:

but as said above, yes, a seller can wait to ship until the money is in their bank.

I would have thought it was in a seller's best interest  to post it reasonably quickly. Especially if they want to keep buyers happy.

Now I could have the wrong end of the stick but a while back i was reading ebay conditions and I think if you are a new seller, then paypal keeps the payments, they don't go into your account at all for 2 months OR until that buyer gives you positive feedback.

So it would seem ebay expects new sellers to post items off before they get money into their account, you could hardly ask buyers to wait 2 months.

To be honest, it was one of the sticking points for me when i read that about that ebay condition, as a seller could be out of pocket quite a bit before the money started to come through.

It also jarrs a bit with the ebay statements that feedback is voluntary because it seems they sort of expect buyers to give it. Bad luck to the new seller whose buyers don't bother.

I have no idea of the item quality from dustyman and I guess a week's wait as such, if they are amazing, isn't the end of the world but it would be annoying. Basically though, the man's attitude sucks, he comes over as very aggressive.

It is in a seller's best interests, to post quickly.

but the seller can wait however long they want to, like this moving money situation. So long as they post when they say they will.

with the held Paypal payments, the seller has access to the shipping cost component of that, right away.

so the seller is being encouraged to ship, after Paypal notification that they, Paypal, have the funds from the buyer.

And before the seller gets the money for the item...as Paypal holds it, until confirmed action from the seller and buyer.

it is Paypal's way to try to prevent the situation of new IDs taking money for items they will never be shipping.

like a camera, for example, if you saw that thread.

If sellers were allowed to tell the truth about some buyers, eBay wouldn't have any sellers left.

They would all be banned!

Call eBay. Go to customer support top right, then contact eBay, and through the options until you get a number and a one-off code.

then ask to speak to a supervisor, as your emails are not being answered.

ask them to look at the feedback and remove it for you.

tell them he is publishing your private details on Facebook, they won't be able to do anything about that for you, but it will strengthen the fact he should not be selling.

[amber-eyed-girl]

you need to ask eBay to remove ALL of that feedback, including the responses. Not just the original, which has gone.

get them to read it, while you are on the phone.

the seller's follow up is abusive too. It makes no sense to remove the one statement but not the other.

(yeah, I know...when did eBay make any sense)

[montycorr001]

I would be reporting it to facebook straight away and also let ebay know what this seller is upto.
