Sellers must be equal with buyers - WE WANT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK OPTION!

[pak334]

I believe every one is equal, as UN told us.

And I believe  what if buyer piss me off by not-paying and not-answering my messages I have right to let know everyone about it.

eBay has different opinion and runs a war against sellers.

Part of war - if I open case against dodgy buyer I do not have any feedback option, but POSITIVE one.

So I do not give any feedback to buyers at all. What is point?

It looks like election in Soviet Union: you could vote for any person to became MP, but there was only one name in list.

USSR gone, but eBay still here.

I propose action: NO FEEDBACKS to buyers.

We want equal rights, we want choice.

I half agree with the OP.  As sellers we should be able to leave negative feedback for buyers who do not pay; they're a darn waste of time:|  And so is one guy I have at the moment who didn't bother to read the listing then wanted to cancel the transaction - that's okay.  I issue the form and has he accepted it - noX-(  Six days later I'm still waiting.

I think seller should be able to leave neg FB for non payers.

Once a dispute is closed the option should show.

Now before the usual's go on to say what good is it as no one has time to read buyers FB.

Well yes they do.

How often have sellers come here and mentioned a buyer has placed a bid bu their FB shows lots of false +ive's.

There is a LOT of sellers that have the time OR make the time to view a bidders FB and this gives them the option of letting them bid or removing that bid and blocking them.

Having the blocks in place for those with a strike is great BUT a lot of sellers do not issue those strikes either.

Why not have more options for sellers rather than just the strike block.

I agree, a lot of sellers do not go through the UnPaid Item process that results in strikes to non-paying buyers.  If they did, then maybe we would hear less about non-payers and wanting to give negative feedback.

Sellers who avoid the process that issues strikes are contributing to the problem of non-paying buyers because those same (pattern behaviour) non-payers can continue to buy.

It only takes two strikes to stop a non-paying buyer from bidding/buying.  Issuing strikes is like giving your cat a spray of water when they do the wrong thing . . . . it helps to change their errant behaviour.

my previous comment was referring to pet cats . . . . forum cats are fine!

Why blame the sellers?

It is just as easy for eBay to monitor cancellations as it is for them to monitor Unpaid Item Disputes, yet I don't know of any repercussions for buyers who continually cancel for change of mind .... or for that matter for sellers who talk the buyer into a cancellation.

eBay should monitor cancellations.

UID should not even exist. 

Cancellations should be made much simpler.

As far as I'm concerned, non-paying buyers are a mild annoyance - they pose very little danger to me and/or my business, and I have no inclination to leave one a neg. I'm glad there's a system in place that can be used to block serial NPBs, but quite frankly, when it comes to online trading, being able to do so pretty far down the list in my priorities in so far as protecting myself from problem buyers goes.

Negs for buyers isn't necessarily the answer, but there is currently no system in place for sellers to actively protect themselves from serial scammers - sellers have a public record of any transgressions against buyers they make (should each individual buyer choose to leaave a neg or neut), and subsequent buyers are then given the opportunity to get (at the very least) a half-decent picture of their trading partner.

Don't care about NPBs I want something that can alert me to people who engage in feedback extortion, fraud and so on.

OMG you always stick up for EBAY or PAYPAL.Are you paid by hem..If you get a buyer who does not pay why shouldnt  the seller be able to give the buyr neg feedback..Wait for it guysHe/she  will hae a feedback..shes geting paid

[davewil1964]

As has been explained ad infinitum, a NPB strike is far more effective than a neg.

How do you vet a buyer who snipes at the last second? Or BINs? All my listings are BIN, as are the vast majority of items in the category I sell in. A strike is actually useful to me. A neg is not.

Besides which, eBay changed it OVER 4 YEARS AGO, and I doubt any amount of whinging on the boards will make them change it back. If you want something important to complain about email them about the new search parameters.

Let's face it - the opening post is nonsense and this thread has continued to deteriorate ever since. 😞
