I would like to know,why as a seller I can only tick the positive box .

When I leave feedback I would like to know why as a seller I can only tick the positive box, even if the transaction was not positive. yet a buyer has the opition of either ticking the positive, negative or neutral box.???

Easy.

Because, for at least five years, eBay don't allow sellers to leave anything other than positives for sellers.

If you have issues with buyers there are avenues.

according to ebay ,buyers are ALWAYS right and are classed as little angels..yer sure they are.

Non-payers have NEVER been so rife as they are now. Something MUST be done about it. Those who talk about the changes made to feedback five years ago are behind the times as the wheel has turned. NPB's are a VERY real problem which eBay prefers to ignore unfortunately.

For what reason would you want to leave negative feedback for a buyer?

Once they buy and pay for the item they have done their bit.

I do believe that Ebay need an option to leave negative feedback for those who DONT pay. And they can verify that no payment was made.

I had one buyer purchase and not pay- I read his feedback and lo and behold he had more than 3 feedbacks saying BUYER DIDNT PAY ETC.

So  held out and got an unpaid item strike against him. My fingers were crossed that he didnt pay coz then I was worried he would claim item not received. Luckily he didnt pay.

In response to......For what reason would you want to leave neg feedback for buyer???? I ll tell you why.... Yes they pay, then receive item as described and THEN start causing you, the seller, trouble , by changing their mind about wanting to keep item, and basically deciding they need their money back...so easiest way OUT for them is to start dispute claiming you sent the wrong size item.... Or some other claim about item not being what they expected...... And demanding full refund and postage fees x2 ...all at your expense , not theirs... Then leaving rude and unfair comments about you in feedback ... All the while, they already have your positive feedback
from you JUST because they paid. Then you can' t retract that. Then your seller reputation is damaged for one whole year after that..... Grossly unfair after 10 yrs trading always getting pos feedbacks from endless satisfied customers...All ruined.
My rating went from100% to 96% all because of this one transaction with aggressive rude unfair customer.
This just happened to me so that is how I know!! I am very angry at eBay for not having any regard and protection for me after my loyalty to them.

You have 60 days to leave feedback, you do not have to leave feedback when a buyer pays ...... you choose to do that.

Leave feedback when you consider the transaction is completed. If you have had problems with a buyer/s then wait until a buyer leaves you feedback before leaving feedback for them.

[888mjh]

yes, I have learned the hard way...should only leave feedback when the transaction is complete.
