negative feedback

How many negs does a seller receive before eBay kicks them off.

Only ebay knows and ebay is not telling.

Why do you ask?

eBay doesn’t kick out sellers that have a lot of negative feedback. 
eBay does monitor the number of INRs, NAD returns, late shipping and cancelling orders as out of stock. High percentages in any of those areas can end a selling account.

Doesn't work that way. Receiving negative feedback isn't again Ebay policy. It's an opinion by another buyer only how the transaction went. Ebay has a Seller level. If a seller is below the level in certain categories they can be restricted. If the seller is selling something not allowed or Ebay has more questions about whatever they are selling they can be restricted or suspended. Buyers don't know what any details are.

Here's a seller with almost 16,000 unhappy experiences in the past year - there are more like this out there.

Sure but in the same time they have had 2,575,632 positives!

Feed  back  no longer uses  FB to measure a sellers  performance.  However you do get to wear those red hickeys for 365/366 days for any one to see.   Some potential buyers ( like ) me will read the negs feedback and just might do a walk on by.  Personally would  not by from you based on how  you replied to your buyer

The real question is: How many negative feedback does a seller need to have before you won't buy from them?

[redmodelt]

It isn't the number of negatives received would be the percentage. For me, it would be between 98 to 99% that I would read the actual negative feedbacks (just click on the number in the chart) to see if it was actually the item or if the negative had nothing to do with the item. Negatives for slow shipping would not be a deal killer.

   Calling a buyer "nuts" whether they are or not puts me off.  When I see less than professional sounding replies from sellers in sales gone sideways my "no drama" meter kicks in.

  Sometimes a sellers replies to negatives hurt more than the origional negative.......................

Feedback is not used to evaluate USA based sellers.

Most buyers neither read nor leave FB. 

Those who read it or leave it were trained when nobody at Ebay took any action to police the site and seller fraud was much higher than its current post-covid rate. Fortunately, Ebay has its Money Back Guarantee, and most buyers buy with credit cards which will protect them.
