Buyer Leaves 471 Negative Feedbacks in 10 Years; is this normal? No, it is not but ebay lets this buyer stay on ebay because he is a buyer. He makes offers and then ask for five more days to pay. After he pays, he lights up your email with over 3 emails in two hours wanting to know why it has not been shipped. Several of the comments left with the negatives, state he has even kept gold items and not returned everything when he files a case. He leaves negative feedback immediately after receiving items before contacting sellers and states "it is his right". Hundreds of his negatives state, "seller cancelled for no reason". He is listed online as one of the worst ebayers and toolhaus lays it all out for all to see. But not here, cause we cannot "shame" scammers or warn others of the criminal buyers on ebay. I told him that the postal inspector would be at post office for video opening of package and it outraged him but after seeing his true self its the least I could do. I let the scammer "have it" after I got my item back because I now keep multiple stores going just in case I run into one for these narcissist who think their money buys them respect. Now he is banned for all stores. I hope I get something he really wants so he can get a "blocked bidder" notice. He should get alot since he is listed on multiple blocked bidder lists online. I told him his negatives mean nothing cuz that store is closed for a year until both his negatives disappear for the equation. I will bury it with buying feedback until then or get ebay to remove them like they have done for me before. Records show ebay has removed many of his negatives and all of these things made him outraged and has sent a half a dozen emails since I told him all this. He clearly is disturbed and gets his kicks by leaving negative feedbacks. A real power tripper. I guess he does not know Karma. He is sad like those folks who have to jump in front of you when you are looking at something at the store or flea market. Real sick ebayer.

He also probably has multiple buying accounts too (cough)... BBL loophole.

As a practicing Buddhist, I feel a responsibility to comment on the reference to karma. There are many ways to accumulate "bad" karma, including judging others and not being mindful of right speech. I believe there are similar tenets in Christian religions.
One of the practices of the Eightfold Path of Buddhism is referred to as "right speech," which is sometimes summed up as abstaining from lying, from divisive speech, from abusive speech, and from idle chatter.
"Samma vaca: Right speech: No lying, criticism, condemning, gossip, harsh language. Right Speech involves abstaining from lying, gossiping, or hurtful talk."
Here endeth the lesson.

Really rather inappropriate to say that about someone else's religion, isn't it? I mean, I've just posted that I'm a practicing Buddhist, and then you post a comment like that?
Wow.

This appears to be a bit extreme of a case, but if seller's aren't reporting the buyer as they misbehave, it could take longer if ever to get on Ebay's radar.
So no matter how this happened, remember that if you have a misbehaving buyer, report them. Always report them.

I believe that before right speech one needs right understanding (sammāditthi ). In this case one needs to understand that it was intended as a joke, an old joke at that, and probably not as an insult to Dhamma.

Doesn't matter, I am fairly certain it's the same guy I have myself reported as well as at least a dozen other sellers that I actually know of. He was seemingly kicked at one point where his account was gone and then a few weeks later right back at it again with the account restored.
I spoke to eBay on the phone and even the rep acted appalled and agreed that he should not be allowed on eBay, yet here we are. When allowing scammers and bad buyers stops being profitable, we might see something done but don't hold your breath.

I'm sure you do believe that. Perhaps you could pm me if you care to discuss your understanding of "right understanding."

Although he has 471 Negative feedbacks in 10 years, or an average of about 47 Negs per year, we must remember that he may be buying a vast quantity more than that for which he may not be leaving Positive feedback because everything went great for him, and so...
...and so...
I'm sorry, I can't go on. That usual line of argument is just so completely ridiculous in this case that I can't even consider it with a straight face. That buyer needed to be gone years ago. The fact that he's still around, spewing damage from the same account year after years, is just mystifying.

Well then if you feel it doesn't matter, there isn't likely to be a lot of changes over the next year unless other seller do see it as important and report in spite of your position on it. Eventually you will likely reap the benefit of other sellers reporting buyers that are abusing the system.
How do you know dozens of other sellers have reported this buyer? I'm not trying to be difficult, I think you are assuming this. I know sellers that do not report buyers even when they are abusing the system. So I never assume or I should say I try not to assume anything. It may or may not represent the facts.
Ebay has a long ways to go on this subject and can do a far better job at rooting out these bad actors. I absolutely agree with you.

I too agree that it was a joke. I don't think they were poking at your religion in any way. It really is a pretty standard comment. Some may like it and others not, but I don't think it was meant to harm or make fun of your religion in any way.
