Ebay The Punisher

[bluesbdoull]

If a seller has 100% positive feedback then gets 1 negative feedback they drop to 99.5% 

If seller has no negative feedback for the next 12 months then they go back up to 100%

Ebay's algorithm & policy doesn't even allow a seller to gradually climb back up to 100% over a reasonable period of time.

The seller ends up getting punished for 12 long months

Why did you cancel - ' out of the blue '.

[padi*0409]

I was just looking at your response to that neg you got.

A far better look rather than making excuses would have been to apologise to the buyer.

, maybe do that with your next neg.

BTW you forgot to answer Dominos question as to why you cancelled the item...................

[bluesbdoull]

I sent an apology & explanation to the buyer however he did not see my message until after he gave negative feeback after he gave

[bluesbdoull]

Buyer tried to revise but ebay's system is too complex to navigate to reverse feedback - I dont give a rats about the neg feedback - What nobody seems to comprehend is a seller cannot gradually climb back up to 100% over the next 12 months even if you get all positives during the next 12 months - Get it ?

[davewil1964]

Buyer cannot revise unless the SELLER sends a feedback revision request. Because you haven't bothered to read the applicable information, yes, you will be below 100% for the remainder of the 12 months.

[davewil1964]

Been that way since you've been a member.

You can gradually improve the number if you sell more items that get feedback than the previous year.

eBay obviously consider 12 months to be a reasonable period.

Do you have an actual question?

[miche1es]

I totally agree... what about their defect system. that can ruin a business.

[repentatleisure1952]

Defects are self inflicted.

[davewil1964]

At least 6 of those months have passed. How often do you check?

Why come here complaining now?

Do you have a question?

This is the Answer Centre, so it's not unreasonable to expect a question.

[bluesbdoull]

Really …Wait until it happens to you ..What a weird response

[bluesbdoull]

How often do I check - Read my original comment again - You get penalised for 12 months ..doh why would I check regularly

[davewil1964]

It's happened to me. I took it on the chin. I didn't come to the boards not asking a question in the Answer Centre

[davewil1964]

doh why would I check regularly. A professional would. Says everything

[bluesbdoull]

what a legend ..takes it on the chin ...get a life

[bluesbdoull]

Must have a question or big brother Dave will get upset ... Its also a place to start a conversation !!

[repentatleisure1952]

Actually it's not "a place to start a conversation". That's what the Discussion Boards are for.

[sandypebbles]

You would be well aware how the system works

You cancel the sale and don't bother so much as to communicate with the buyer

There is no reason for the factual feedback to be removed, nor should you be rewarded for failing to honour the sale

And then complaining about it in your reply to said feedback
