funny feedback

[dasarock]

i guess there is a sudden rash of funny feedback being left for sellers?

just got this one,

Used and over priced.  neutral

- re Electrical Relay OMRON 12088567 Fog Light Fuel Pump Headlight Compressor, listed as used, tested and free shipping.  

i guess another buyer expectation of free item?  

i left the following response to it,

item was marked used, and tested good. please contact me.

... and ebay life goes on 😄

The buyer never said anything about expecting it to be new. He said he received a dirty (not cleaned) relay. I am going out on the limb here and explaining why the buyer left neutral. You said clean so the buyer paid a higher price thinking it would be clean. If you listed it cheaper as used and not clean the buyer would have had less expectations on his purchase. Wording in a description and the asking price matching makes all the difference.

you would be going out on the wrong limb then with your above observations ... the neutral you are looking at is not the quoted one at beginning of thread.

Maybe if you had mentioned earlier in the thread--like in the very first post--that your thread was about a neutral that eBay had already removed, posters could have avoided a lot of confusion. Pretty important information to have left out of the thread until Message #10.

except that it was there when the post originated.  it was later after a conversation with c/s regarding a different issue that it was removed. besides which the fb was verbatim as posted and standalone with no reference to any other listing just the appropriate information in comments to look at the fb. nor any reason to consider them the same with completely different feedbacks left.  and it was posted just showing a buyer's feedback that item was used when he purchased the same item as used and chose to pay the price i asked for it ... 

...but for all of that it is a moot issue already
