feedback

[foundgoodbuy]

I had a couple sales cancelled by the buyer. I can only leave Positive feedback. I don't have any other options. How do I fix this? Thanks

"Despite the narrative, there is an easy history to review.  I call someone out for being mean, and that’s not okay to some.  Understood.  I certainly don’t do it “every chance” I get - the numbers don’t come close to supporting the narrative."

We are all supposed to be respectful to each other on the boards,its not your job to correct somebody for 'being mean'. The same could be said of you.

I literally wrote “please be nice.”  I think that was fairly respectful.  It f that is unacceptable to you, I’m sorry that you feel that way.  Have a good one.

It looks like the purpose of the boards is to to confuse buyers by disagreeing over  "cannot" versus "can't"  (which I myself am confused by, because I thought those meant the same thing), and then proceed to carry over some ongoing back-and-forth feud from a previous thread.

You can't fix it, That is your only option.

Ditto.

Thanks for the support.  The main purpose of these boards should be to help people, not make them feel small for making a mistake or asking a reasonable question.  It really is nasty how people coming for help are belittled.  Some will ignore this behavior, some tolerate it, some endorse it.

I guarantee that @bonjourami @was not supporting your comment, but asking that YOU be nice, which you seem to be unable to do.  Are you really going to start beating that dead horse again?

By following eBay policy and not trying to do something that is not permitted.

I was fooled on this thread because when I read it now I thought bonjoirami was being supportive but then she said she would never support powell in a fit of rage and fury. Then Powell said all he said was please be nice. Then bounjourami said never ever tell people that being nice is good. Then you came and said bonjourami will never be supportive. Very strange thread derailed early on again that would have been a lot cooler if people were nice and or funny instead of unsupportive and encouraging meanness on the threads.

you don't leave any feedback, and if you were unhappy with the situation you just add them to your blocked buyer list and carry on, besides you don't want that kind of feedback to turn around and bite you in the behind.  Sellers have not been able to leave a negative for buyers for probably 20 years now, used to be able to at once upon a time.....

Ebay monitors buyers just as well as sellers, once they cancel too many times it's adios"

To the best of my knowledge, a buyer cannot cancel.

Only the seller can cancel.  

So how did your buyer cancel the sale?

Come on – you know that the buyer can’t cancel. Please be nice.

That is what she said.

Not sure. They cancel their bids.

If it was an auction, then yes buyers can cancel bids.  If it was a Fixed Price listing, a buyer can only request a cancellation from a seller.  The decision is the sellers.  @foundgoodbuy 

[mam98031]

They like to try and gas light others from time to time.  

[reallynicestamps]

If the transaction is cancelled there is no transaction to leave feedback for. 

But if it makes you feel better...

[mam98031]

A cancelled transaction does NOT = a deleted transaction.

Canceling their BIDS is different than canceling their ORDER. A whole different process.

I have cancelled too after rereading a listing and finding it was not what I wanted or there were problems with the description in the listing.

With all due respect, you (or any buyer) should read the description BEFORE making  your purchase.
