Feedback

Question

I donâ€™t leave negative feedback often. But when I do the person really deserves it and eBay typically removes so the eBay community doesnâ€™t know not to buy from that certain seller. So do not buy from this crook in Ohio. Total liar and untrustworthy. [Edited by Moderator]

Hi @1manband3 On the first four pages of your Feedback Left for Others, there are four negatives. So eBay must be letting you leave them if they don't violate policy. The same rules apply to everyone. If you were unable to get your negative removed, apparently it didn't violate policy. But your reply sure did. It's not super professional or within policy to call your buyers names. The buyer could have that removed if they asked. Good luck!

@1manband3 < when I do the person really deserves it and eBay typically removes > It's likely you're violating a policy within the comments of those negative feedbacks. Not on purpose, of course, but eBay has some prohibitions regarding feedback that aren't intuitive. It's easy to commit one because of simply not knowing. Since the feedbacks have been removed, I can't check them for you. But this Help page lists some of the reasons eBay will remove feedback: https://www.ebay.com/help/policies/feedback-policies/feedback-policy?id=4208 Your posting here is an illustrative example. You weren't aware that it's a board policy violation to specify a member in a negative context? It's called "name and shame" and it isn't allowed in the forum. Check in the side column on the right for the link to the Community guidelines. Don't be surprised if that name gets removed, when the moderators detect it.

After leaving neg feedback, if the seller contacts ebay and states that the neg violates ebay policy, and ebay agrees, the neg can be removed. Do not include any information in the feedback that can identify the seller, refer to a case being filed, asking ebay to step in, etc.
