Personally, I find the whole feedback system way too subject to interpretation by both sellers and buyers. Its best to set your parameters in selling so serial non payers cant buy from you and if you do get a buyer who non pays or requests refunds/returns outside your business settings, report immediately and block. The only time I refer to feedback is if I am buying from a seller with feedback under 95% and I look at their most recent negatives, usually their score has been depleted by one or two in a month, and over the past couple of years there's been that many distruptions to peoples business' and lives that unless its constantly more than 10% negs then Ill shop elsewhere. Buyers can be a bit "trip advisor" when it comes to buying on line, "I thought the red dress was a different red" ? " The shade of gold fashion earrings is too/not enough gold in colour" ? etc - everyone has their own perspective and opinion I also find that contacting the buyer at day 2 after purchase will give you an indicator if they are going to ghost the sale or genuinely require 4 or more days to pay. Its a bit of pot luck selling and buying on eBay and there are buyers who stuff you around but most, are great and genuine. BTW the occasional Ranting is good for the soul 🙂
