Ebay is now getting on my last nerve!!!

Re: Ebay is now getting on my last nerve!!!

I can see this from both sides. I wish people would do a better job of explaining why they leave feedback (of either flavor).
There's a seller whom I occasionally purchase DVDs from. He's totally rigid in his shipping fees, so that when I buy a larger lot from him (say, 10 DVDs) he's absolutely killing me on shipping (charging $27 for shipping that's costing him $8). He won't bend, and I slam him on shipping feedback every time...doesn't matter much, though, as I'm little more than a drop in his feedback bucket.

Did you leave the prick positive feedback with a negative comment? I know it doesnt do much, but it can let sellers know what they are dealing with.

Dear Members sorry for the vent but now ebay is going way over board!!

(THIS IS AS A SELLER)

It is bad enough we have to make sure we walk on glass to keep our ratings in good standings BUT THE STARS TOO???

I mean come on!!

If we have to worry about the stars whats the point of the feedback???

Here is a situation that recently happend to me.

I sold an item, in the auction description it states 2 to 9 days shipping. Now with that in mind that is 2 to 9 days after PAYMENT is recieved.
But of course when someone wins an item I want to ship it out to them as soon as I can in any case.
So the winner wins the items pays for it 24 hours later in the afternoon, which at that point, I would not be able to ship out till the next day. WHICH I DID SHIP IT OUT THE NEXT DAY!!
2 days later from the day of payment - I get an email from the buyer "where's his item" - meaning he wanted it right there and then.
I explained to him as stated in the auction shipping can take 2 to 9 days from the point of payment and that his item has already been shipped.

About 7 days go by and I receive a positive mark with a negative comment saying "slow shipping" but also he gives me a low star rating.

I sent an email to the bidder asking why would you leave a positive feedback with a negative comment and negative star rating after I sent you an email explaiing it's on it way - his reply back to me was this "Well it showed up on the 9th day and I wanted it to be here a lot sooner"

First of all if it showed up on the 9th day as stated in the description (2 to 9 day period) that is not slow
Second of all I do now own the US Post Office and if for some reason they take a few days longer, that is not my fault!!!

Now I get a notice if my star rating falls below a certain number my account will be suspended!!

So if I have a star rating what is the point of the feedback rating???

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!

Its like ebay completely wants to screw the seller
