Hilariously, sellers can't leave negative feedback for buyers: http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/sellerprotection.html http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/sellerprotection.html
If you're selling on eBay and something goes wrong (buyer claims she received a box of rocks), there really isn't much to do. PayPal and eBay favor buyers so much that if the buyer really wants her money back, she'll certainly get it.
- philjohn 14y agoI'm still puzzled as to why they didn't go with a system where the seller and buyer feedback are both secret until both have been set.
- rada 14y agoBecause nefarious sellers and buyers would have unlimited license to prevent negative feedback from being posted to their account, ever. They would always appear to be a new seller/buyer.
- rada 14y agoThat doesn't sound right. I bought a mobile phone on eBay and the seller sent me a unit that was (a) a different model and (b) clearly used. I jumped through all kinds of hoops, culminating in a letter from my lawyer certifying I received a different phone. The end result was, I could not return or exchange the unit, and my negative feedback and rating were erased. Stories like mine are legion. eBay emphatically does not favor buyers, they screw everyone equally.
