Sellers listings require feedback or blocked

[miss_ivymeadowsweet]

Thoughts please on Sellers listing practises as stated on all listings
Any buyer who does not complete transaction with feedback or leaves neg will be blocked from future auctions.
Is this against eBay policy ??

[miss_ivymeadowsweet]

Mostly email vouchers a couple of mailed ones did t think this was unusual but terms and conditions very odd never had future use of email Addy well am blocked so no use on eBay .

You have raised so many more questions on the sellers listings can threads be passed on from here ??

but this seller, was it an emailed voucher? Did they ever send you a physical vopucher in the mail by registered post?

eBay prohibits the listing oif digitally delivered goods (I think) and there is no PayPal buyer protection on them.

[miss_ivymeadowsweet]

No mailed voucher in mail it was sent via email after paying by PayPal

The purchase is for a service - an accomodation service. 

How a "voucher" is delivered for the actual service being purchased is neither here nor there - nor against any eBay policy. 

The service being sold is the provision of a "physical" accomodation service - not digitially delivered goods.

Thank you for that information that great never had a problem with emailed vouchers in the past 🙂

Yes, I have had no problems purchasing such services via eBay either - you can get some fantastic deals !!

in this instance, without the voucher, you cannot redeem the accommodation.

The seller appears to be the service provider,

The sale is for the voucher to redeem the accommodation

Regardless, I'm pretty sure that none of the safe payment methods provide you with protection against a service either.

unfortunately, it is against eBay policy to sell digitally delivered goods OR services and their line about feedback up the top whilst doing nothing to assist the buyer from the feedback angle, provides sufficient indication to eBay that this is a digitally delivered good

so just a heads up here, take your holiday very quickly.

For Starters, they in no way comply with this policy

They pass on your information and use it for purposes other than the intended sale which they cannot do, even with your consent through the opt out option rather thasn the opt in option

They do not offer a safe method of payment

and on it goes.

I'm sure their 4ooo word listing will be valued somewhere, but apparently, unless they restrict themselves to one such listing PER MONTH, it is not to be valued on eBay

That was interesting, Thanks Miss Ivy!
