how do I ask for a buyer feedback removal request on a 5 month old sold item?
Summary: ljanlin is seeking help to remove a negative feedback on eBay that was mistakenly left five months ago. They discovered the issue too late since revisions are only possible within 30 days and removal requests within 90 days. comics-scifi-collectibles explained these limitations and suggested the proper procedure if a similar issue arises in the future. Although ljanlin mentioned advice from AI about contacting an agent, comics-scifi-collectibles advised trying to contact an agent by typing 'AGENT' in the chat, but expressed doubt about its effectiveness.
Hi.
I sold an item 5 months ago in which the buyer wrote a positive comment but hit the negative feedback button. At the time I just let it slide. It was, and still is, my only negative feedback. However, I now realize that I really should get it removed incase I ever DO get another negative feedback.
I tried to do it through the eBay system, but it only allows requests for 90 days out or less. I tried to contact customer service but none of the choices it asks me to select include this issue. I am hoping if I can get intouch with an agent, that they could see it and remove it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa

Mentor1 month ago@ljanlin I am sorry but it is too late to ask for a feedback revision or to ask eBay to remove the feedback.
Revision can only be done within 30 days of the date the feedback is left.
eBay can sometimes remove comments up to 90 days.
In the future the correct procedure is to send the buyer a feedback revision request>

OP1 month agoThanks so much for your quick response. I'll get right on it next time, although hopefully there won't be a next time!

OP1 month agoAI told me that if I got ahold of an agent, as in a real person, that they could still look into it and do it.

Mentor1 month ago@ljanlin You can try but I'm pretty sure that AI is wrong. Type AGENT in the chat bot box to request a call back or live chat

OP1 month agoI have no doubt AI could be very wrong. But I suppose it's worth a shot! If it happens to work, I'll let you know!
