I presume our blocked bidder list will be endless?

[go-tazz]

With the amount of buyers that will be put on to blocked bidder lists because of non payment,etc,I presume the

blocked bidder list will be never ending?

Also you can't do a cancelled transaction as it will count as a defect.,(so you'll have to do an unpaid item dispute).

Then you'll have the buyers that leave less then 5 stars to add to the list.

So that list might become preeeetty long for some sellers,

I'm sure you can do cancellations without a defect if the buyer asks for it. You will have to be very careful about what reason you choose though.

Yes my BBL is long enough already.

My BBL is huge, so i hope it's endless.

They can Harley, but the instructions on how to acheive this that we were given yesterday, require the precision of a marching band and a Doctorate to even follow.

Hoping like crazy they simplify that process or there is gonna be bloodshed!

I thought that a cancelation with choosing buyer changed mind did not count as a defect?

It doesn't, IF you follow the correct process to have that recorded. and it's this freakin convoluted process where you have to tell the buyer when they have to respond, when you can refund (if applicable) and when aND how it can all be closed.

And if your buyer doesn't play the game, then the defect sticks to the seller. (according to the information given yesterday)

So comfused with what I have to do and what this process is lol

If you like, I will ask permission of the other member to post thweir response from eBay (plus I'll have to run it by the mods too as we are not supposed to post private emails etc) if you like.

It's that freakin convoluted, I'm not even game to transopose it into my words LOL, so a copy paste would be the best

My BBL has grown so much in the last three months 😞  If I run a .99c auction and notice a bid from someone who has left a lot of bad feedback I put them on my list immediately and hope to god someone outbids them.  

If someone asks a stupid question that is covered in the listing, and they have a record of leaving bad feedback, they go on my list. 

And so on.  Now I will also have to block buyers who leave 3 star ratings.  

Ebay just keeps making things harder, yet sales are a fraction of what they used to be regardless of how much you bend over backwards to accomodate their rules.   

They NEED to educate buyers on how the  star rating and feedback affects sellers.  Plus they should stop buyers from being able to leave a negative or neutral without contacting the seller. I Have had newbie buyers use a negative or neutral instead of an email to ask me what is happening - only a few days after payment, so not even when the parcel is late.  When I contact them they are apologetic, but they 'had no idea'.  It uses up revision requests for no legitimate reason. 

And the 'seller protection' policy, where they claim they will remove the buyers feedback if they have a pattern of leaving bad FB is BS - I had a buyer leave a negative with no contact. When I checked, they had left negatives for 100% of their purchases.  Despite phone calls and emails to ebay and several emails to the buyer (none of which were acknowledged), they would not remove it.
