Dodged a bullet

[bigdeals.etc]

A buyer messaged me that he lives in LA too and asks me for my address. I apologize and reply that I only sell online and ship. He then replies "So are you in downtown?" That reply prompted me to check his feedbacks and I see this rap sheet of his 10 most recent left feedbacks.

Wow!  Nice guy.

Yikes!  I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've seen anybody get negged for a shirt getting wrinkled in shipping.

Happened to me twice before. Filed SNAD too. Technically I guess they were right because the listing didn't show the shirt as wrinkled.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Any time a buyer wants something out of the regular routine...............Worry. Really worry.

His most recent? They were all over a year ago. Has he made more purchases in the last 12 months? But didn't leave feedback for them?

(Doesn't matter--I'm just intrigued by this person! LOL!)

No idea. Those are in fact his most recent feedbacks in its entirety. I didn't click the negatives only or anything (actually that filter doesn't even exist for feedbacks left huh). There were a few positives after about 15+ negs. So I guess he used to be nice. I wonder what could have happened to this guy to turn him into such a sour puss to all these sellers.

So glad your instincts are good, so you checked him out.

Well..... look at the seller answers. Not exactly classy. Makes one wonder how they acted out of the gate if they’re comfortable talking like that in what is theoretically public, if a bit hidden.

Idiot probably didn't think you would look at the FB he left for others!!!  LOL

I don't typically look at a buyer's FB if they just send me a question or two.  But if it goes beyond that I sure do.  And I've seen similar stuff before.  Believe me my fingers flew to by BBL and that buyer was on it.  Can't even risk that stuff.

This is just me, but typically when I see a buyer with FB left like this I do report them for abuse of the FB system for whatever that is worth.  It may just make me feel like I'm doing my part, but I would encourage others to do it as well.

How do you report a buyer for feedback abuse? I have done it over the phone before, but that was a long time ago.

That is the way I do it too.  I just call.  When I need to call in, I request a call back whenever the option is available.  It works great for me.  I get on and off the phone much quicker too.

Hormones.  Or fell off his meds.

After reading those negs, it sounds like those 10 were for the same seller.  It reminds me of another poster that came here not long ago bragging about how he was one of the best buyers, according to ebay, but he had given one seller approx. 28 or 30 negs.  I recall telling him how bad that looked on him and that many sellers would avoid him.
