Buyer can make their feedback profile PRIVATE?!

A buyer left me a negative positive ("does LOOK like theres 200 seeds" - there was 208, and they are packed on camera).   So I had a look at their feedback profile.

 

Can't access it - buyers can make their feedback history private, so sellers can not see it.   I had no idea!

 

That is messed up!  Im going to cancel any purchases from buyers with hidden feedback profiles, defect or not.

Thanks for that - I have already been there and requested a block some time ago. I found that it was easier to find that page than it was to locate Eb's blocking request page - hence the Q that lyndal answered for me ...


thanks a lot . . . . if you had shared that info about blocking here on the boards when you first requested it you could have saved me a lot of grief!   LOL . . . . just kidding . . . . I can live with the grief!

it is quite late and it's a good excuse to use to explain your confusion. Firstly you quote my information, (I think I have prevented that snoop place from divulging any info.) and then you thank me for not divulging it ... ?  don't quite understand where your coming from.

I didn't name the snoop place for the very same reason that you didn't.

light hearted banter.  If you had posted about how to block on that site when you found out how then I wouldn't have, and would not be coping some grief over it.  Some members are not happy that I posted how to block buying history . . . . hence "thanks a lot", with my post concluding with "just kidding . . . . "

                   coping some grief over it.

maybe my screen is out of whack because i just can't see any flack with your name on it ... If your copping any grief then you must be reading pm s.from those members. I certainly hope that they are not members of your exclusive club 

Nobody asked me how to block on that snoop site so no info was offered - Perhaps you could learn from that. (more lhb)

Sky, you have obviously missed several threads over the last few weeks.....the subject of "that site" has been done to death.

Every time it seems to have died down someone drags it back to the top of the page again.

 

For the record, I find it a very helpful site when answering questions, particularly now that there are so many restrictions on the information that can be given on the boards.   It really is not as simple as the amount of information posted by the OPs....many of them have no idea what information is pertinent.  In fact until the discussion gets underway neither do the responders.

 

I also do not snoop on posters accounts just for the sake of being nosy, although I am well aware that there are posters that do.  During one of the discussions recently one poster talked openly about my purchases.  I have not made my information inaccessible for the simple reason that if I can use it for whatever purpose then others should have the right to look at my information.

Something tells me that I may be regretting that decision once the "day shift" reads this post.

yes, your quite right about me missing a few threads - it's not unusual for me to be absent for, sometimes weeks on end, ( not because of mod intervention) and I don't always get the time to look back at past threads and, consequently, missed the angst about "that" site. How-ever, it is pleasing to know that you don't snoop and use "that" site as a tool to help you help others. You always seem to have a good grasp on individual problems and answer questions with an excellent knowledge of the workings of Eb, unlike some who contribute zilsch but still have a lot to say.  Well done.

 I wonder how many other users of "that" site can say the same as you...?

I don't snoop for the sake of snooping, I really couldn't be bothered. I've got better things to do and I really couldn't give 2 hoots about what other people buy. I do look for the same reasons as Lyndal.

 

I have looked at a few (literally) of my buyers when they have bought a few things then say they can't pay. I checked to see whether they might have got a better deal elsewhere. I did that to decide whether I was going to cancel or open an UPI dispute.
