Looks like the OP got the feedback removed after all...?

It's not the OP's feedback! I don't have any idea what their point is because the feedback shown in the OP is NOT the OP's feedback and at least the one in the middle is more than a year old.

I am guessing the sellers didn't report them for removal.

The point is feedback like this should not exist. I check feedback left for others when people make offers and ask questions, etc. The three in the photo were just the most outrageously unwarranted of several. My BBL just got a new member.

You're correct. The feedback shouldn't exist! But if sellers don't report and request that the feedback be removed, ebay doesn't ever see the problem. There are just too many members for ebay to catch it on their own.

You can only get FB that is 60 days or less old removed or edited.

 

If that first on is within the past 60 days, you should be able to get it removed by just contacting Ebay customer service.

 

Same with the second one.

 

The third one could be questionable as they could be referring to you as being Ebay.  But I'd sure try to get them all removed.

 

In looking at your FB, it appears you got them all removed.  Good job.

It's not the OP's feedback - they're just quoting it: "The point is feedback like this should not exist. I check feedback left for others when people make offers and ask questions, etc. The three in the photo were just the most outrageously unwarranted of several. My BBL just got a new member." 

 

A great example of people simply not using the tools eBay gives them for dealing with this kind of nonsense. As you say - all three (at least the first two) are simply nuisance feedbacks and removable.

 

eBay can't do much if account holders don't use the tools provided - it's not our babysitter.

Evidently those are not FB that was received by the OP, but that he found left for others.

That sucks. WTH...SMH.....☹️ I am so sorry.

 

I'm sure that will get removed b/c doesn't look like it had to do with the item or the shipping. That is such **bleep** to open your computer and see.  Again, so sorry...wish I could wave a magic eBay wand and make it just disappear without having to jump through hoops.

There's no way ebay can  "prevent" them from happening but ebay can certainly remove them if the sellers reports them.

eBay actually could do some things about bad buyers if they gave a ph. They have enough automated garbage monitoring sellers - how many times are people making posts about accounts being locked after selling something more expensive than usual, items taken down as prohibited, numbers below standard, etc.

 

All it would take is a threshold of some sort to flag buyers. I would say if 40% of all FB left is not positive, that far exceeds such a threshold. Same goes for returns. People are quick to say eBay gives tools to deal with stuff - sure they do, reactive tools. I'm sure many sellers would prefer a preventive tool. It would be much easier to click a button in seller preferences to block buyers with excessive bad FB and returns than to constantly look at FB left and add to BBL. And before anyone says, those kinds of buyers will just open a new account, eBay could make that very difficult - again, if they actually cared to.

Always read the content of any neg that has been left by a buyer.

 

Then respond appropriately

when justified try for a removal

I wish they had a program that would prevent stupid feedback from being left.
