Re: Beware! Kenssportsmarketing ebay
Buyers can only receive positive feedback. Sellers cannot leave negative feedback to buyers anymore.
Also, feedback is voluntary. It is not mandatory to leave feedback for both buyers and sellers. For buyers or sellers to demand feedback be left, is crazy talk.Comment

Re: Beware! Kenssportsmarketing ebay
Agreed with the above. I have been scammed too many times by buyers on eBay, with eBay largely unwilling to address the issues, as illustrated above to immediately offer feedback.
I give positive feedback as soon as the seller does. No sooner, and I have no intention of changing.Comment

Re: Beware! Kenssportsmarketing ebay
There was just a huge go-round about this on another forum.
Let me ask you this: if you buy from me, and you receive the item exactly as described, shipped extremely quickly, with reasonable postage costs, haven't I completed MY end of the deal? Therefore, using your own rationale, you should give me positive feedback whether I've left it for you or not. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander, and doing anything else would be hypocritical!
Also, from what I've experienced on ebay, if I blocked my winners who don't leave positives, I'd lose half my clientele.

(This is in no way directed at you Ken, just answering your statement)
The point being, as the buyer, I have already paid you before you shipped me anything.
If you are going to try and hold me hostage and refuse to leave feedback until I leave you feedback on your item, then you as the seller can go screw.
I paid and completed my part of the deal FIRST. Therefore, I should receive feedback FIRST.
If you left me feedback when I paid, you will get feedback when I receive.
If you leave me no feedback when I paid, you get no feedback.
Not seeing the argument that this is hypocritical in any way, shape or fashion.
You're argument doesn't hold up. In your scenario, we made and completed a deal with no comments.
Explain to me how I OWE you feedback after I receive the item if you were unwilling to leave me feedback when you received my payment and how I'm a hypocrite if I don't cave and give you feedback 1st?
IF, as a Seller, I did not give feedback as soon as payment is received and then expected others to give me feedback, as a Buyer, when they get my payment, THAT would make me a hypocrite.
Hope we're all good.

Re: Beware! Kenssportsmarketing ebay
There's a specific address in California that I won't leave feedback for as a seller. The same person has now won three items from me (different names & IDs) at the same address, and two of the three times, he complained that the item was damaged due to corrosion or fungal growth in the camera lenses. Normally, I would accept this as a legitimate issue, but the problem is I send the item, it arrives in California four days later. 50 or so days after that, I get a complaint from the buyer, who lives in China, that the item is damaged. For this specific situation (China buyer using non-eBay authorized re-shipper), I won't leave feedback as the seller.
At this point, I would block the buyer and never sell to them again.

Re: Beware! Kenssportsmarketing ebay
Interesting debate, of which I can see both sides. While I used to immediately leave positive feedback upon payment receipt, as a seller, I've been burned innumerable times by buyers making false claims about items not being delivered (when shipping tracking indicates otherwise), not working, new ones having been opened and used upon receipt, etc. I can't count how many, mainly International buyers, have tried to scam me out of both payment and item by making such false claims. Then when I fight the ebay cases opened against me, which I win but devote time to rectifying, some buyers have gotten pissed and left me negative feedback, to which I have to devote additional time to have removed by ebay. So the dishonest buyers have ruined the process now for all, since I'll be damned if I'm going to leave positive feedback only for them to try and scam me out of both my money and item, and then also leave me negative feedback. Now, regardless of how pleasant the transaction was initially, no buyer feedback is left until I receive appropriate feedback, positive or negative, of my own.
And unfortunately, bad buyers that you and other have dealt with have you basically punishing all buyers due to the actions of a few.
That's why - as I said before - I leave feedback when I'm paid as a seller. i cannot control what the buyer is going to do. But I am also very detailed in my ebay listings so that if I do get a bad feedback or what have you, I have my original listing to use as proof to eBay and PayPal as to how the item was represented and I get tracking on EVERY item regardless of price.
I've had few issues on eBay, but one that stands out that made me shake my head - I sold a '68 Topps set. The key cards - Ryan, Mantle, Aaron and Bench - were all rough except the Bench. The set was maybe a 5 or so overall and represented as such with multiple images and scans of the cards front and back.
Almost two months after I sold the set, I get a notice from eBay that a claim has been opened that the set was 'not as described'. The buyer was claiming that I had described the key cards - specifically Ryan and Mantle - as better than they were. I first asked ebay to pull up my ad and look athe large scans of those two that clearly showed the creases, etc - that were also described in the listing - and then I noticed that the person filing the claim wasn't even the name of the buyer on the shipping manifest.
I wrote them and told them to have the ACTUAL buyer contact me and eBay. The next day, the case was closed - from the buyer - as being resolved and no action from eBay.
My guess is that the buyer flipped the set and THEY misrepresented it and when their buyer was unhappy, they allowed him to access their account and try to get me to take the set back from him.
Anyway, sorry to get off track... just had to share that story!Comment

Re: Beware! Kenssportsmarketing ebay
As far as my stated stance, it started after I had way too many sellers writing telling me that if I liked the item, to leave them POSITIVE feedback - and to make sure I ONLY rated them with 5 stars... and THEN they would leave me feedback.
It was basically a long way around to demanding I leave feedback 1st if I wanted feedback.
I'm sorry so many people have been screwed by bad buyers on eBay, but I didn't do it to you - someone else did.
Making me 'responsible' (for lack of a better word) for someone else's transgression is a pretty crappy way to treat your seller's (imho).Comment
