irrelevent product reviews

[itsnotreal]

A few of my preowned dresses, all of which are one offs have product review ratings at the top of the listings and detailed at the bottom. eg #311894848122 the only thing the rated product has in common is it is for a dianna ferrari size 8 dress. Its not for one of mine or even the same style of dress..the rating is therefore irrelevent and misleading. 

What if that buyer had a negative experience from someone else why should I have to wear a bad review??

I see your point.

And I don't think there is anyway to be rid of it unless you use the trick other sellers use for being rid of other similar items appearing.

Scrolling a long way down in description when listing sending it way down but that means your 'ask a question' also goes with it.

Obviously an eBay program to match reviews with products but is seems to be dependant on info provided by the reviewee.

It's not even the same dress!    The review is for a cream dress,  yours is grey.

I'd call ebay and get them to remove it for being irrelevant and misleading.

oops posted with wrong id..its my item

it happens with a few random listings, and I'm not trawling through them all to find them to complain, and I am sure it is happening to everyone else as well.

Yep and if you have that one removed, (if at all possible) another DF dress one may take it's place.

eBay need to improve their marketing programs within the site but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I was under the impression you couldn't do a review if the item didn't have UPC/MPN?

Or have I got that wrong?

[kopenhagen5]

That's an interesting/good point and would be a solution to having mis-matched reviews on listings.

However I have done 29 reviews and many of them without UPC's.

There goes that theory, then.

What a prolific little ebayer you are, Kopes.

Does that mean I need a life more than you ?
