eBay

peteb123 · ‎03-07-2024

I currently have a bidder with zero feedback who has been a member for 4 and a half years. It just doesn't feel right. Last year, I had a bidder with zero feedback who had been a member for 3 years. After invoices and 3 weeks trying to get him to pay, I cancelled the auction. How can people be members for years and not buy or sell anything?

---------------------------------

that is flap doodle. It will show as zero for the past 12 months, but the feedback (XX) remains.

you can click on my (99) to see that.

I am zeros for the past year as I have not purchased for a while, but the (99) remains, and if not set to "private" it would all be displayed.

Yea. There's NO WAY ebay would reset a buyer's lifetime feedback score to zero. It'll be utter chaos up in here. Ebay knows them buyers loooove their feedbacks.

Just because they have 0 feedback, doesn't mean they haven't bought anything.

Since buyers feedback doesn't mean much, a lot of sellers don't bother leaving any.

As far as selling, I've seen sellers that have sold 100 items with no feedback.

Have a great day.

Many great replies, thanks.
I have been a member for 22 years and I sell average about 3 items a month. I occasionally run into people who don't pay. My sales are all small items with prices typically around $10. I can wait a couple weeks and it is no problem. Eventually I will report them as non paying. One reply got to what I thought I was asking.

Feedback % is based on the last year, so if they don't receive any in the last year, the % will be zero.

Have a great day.
