eBay

I’m sure this is beating a dead horse topic but why is it only the buyers can leave negative feedback ? It makes me mad that people can bid your auctions up and not buy it and suffer zero repercussions at all. Sold something recently and buyer bid last minute and never paid with three payment reminders being sent. Smh flawed system

Lots. It would show people that people like to play games and not pay on purpose or run a bid up crazy and then turnaround and ask for the transaction be canceled. Sellers once were able to leave negative feedback and I don’t understand why it changed. But I’m sure you do though

It changed because sellers would leave negs for buyers for problems the sellers caused. Bad buyers would just get new ids. It was the good buyers who valued their reputation who were offended and decided to leave.

it got even worse when eBay instituted mutual withdrawal. Then sellers who were negged were encouraged to neg even innocent buyers back to encourage them to withdraw. It was a virtual bloodbath and many good buyers left in disgust

@ms.rodriguez* That’s the purpose of the two UID block. Except for your request that it never age off.

You can get a quick read on any seller by looking at feedback and DSRs but that doesn't really tell the whole tale but it is relatively easy to do a deeper dive right here on site.

Now...a buyer?

There is no quick read or deeper dive read you can do on ebay.

I'd prefer to have the opportunity to defend myself since ebay rarely backs sellers. You can't do that without information. Ebay refuses to give that information.
Sure you can... Just look at the FB the buyer gives to other sellers. The problem of course is that by the time you are aware of the buyer, it is already too late to block them. Buyers getting negatives is not the answer.

Best Offers.

...and feedback they give is only part of the picture. The real problem buyers don't like a trail back to them and know better than to leave feedback.

Buyers getting negatives may not be the answer but its part of a solution.

I did not say I wanted to give buyers negatives. I said I think it is disingenuous and irritating that ebay uses it as a reason sellers should accept best offers knowing full well their system is that EVERY buyer has 100% feedback. I don't need advice, I was making a comment.

Yep I agree.
And lesson learned here I will not send an unpaid item dispute so I have the option to leave negative feedback.
It's about the best we can hope for....
