Buyer left negative feedback two months after transaction

[bowel515]

Hello all,

I've been a long time ebay member (since 1998) and just received my first negative feedback.  I'm asking for a little advice on how to handle it.  I sold a used item and the buyer left negative feedback seven weeks after the item was delivered.  The buyer made no attempt to contact me and I just happened to notice it when I was searching for a different item to purchase.  I just made an initial attempt to contact the buyer and am waiting on a reply.  Does anybody have any tips on what to do?

Thanks!

Maybe because it was an option way back then?

You didn't indicate as such, maybe you thought you'd correct me rather than yourself after doing some searching.

I don't need correction. Maybe you do, as to reading dates.

You do.
