I had a big order from a customer in Canada who bought 10 coins from me. I shipped it same day with eBay's international shipping service. For whatever reason the post office sat on it for three weeks, and when the tracking finally updated I contacted the buyer to tell him it was moving. Instead of being happy, he immediately opened 10 cases against me asking for a refund. I replied that since I shipped on time and the items were moving through the system I did not feel a refund was warranted. He didn't respond and after the waiting period he tried to escalate the cases, but eBay put them on hold since tracking showed the order moving. Today it finally arrived. First off, even though tracking says it was delivered, eBay still hasn't contacted me about closing the case in my favor as has happened on other orders I've had. But more importantly for the purpose of this post, the buyer left me 10 negative feedbacks saying "Very slow shipping despite paying for expedited shipping." I don't know where he got the idea that he paid for "expedited" shipping, but I shipped the next day.
I know that eBay sometimes protects sellers by removing negative feedback, and I think this certainly qualifies. Is there a way I can ask them to review this? Having 10 negative feedbacks can potentially seriously impair my selling. I did nothing wrong, I have tracking evidence and the feedback is clearly **bleep**

They removed 5, I wonder if they are removing the rest?

the other cases are on hold until the 16th. It seems like I have to wait until then unless they realize that the order has been delivered and close it.

Glad they removed the ones they closed the claims out on - hopefully your sea of red ink will be no more!

Update again. I reached out to eBay's Facebook page as suggested above and they seem to have removed the other negatives.

I forgot that in my original reply... IF there's a case open, they will not remove FB. The case has to be closed. If it's closed in your favour, it's removable. If it's not closed in your favour (because you gave a refund voluntarily), then they will review to see if it qualifies for removal and in my experience bad FB about shipping time qualifies.
