Ebay's Negative Feedback

I started on ebay sometime in September of this year. I didn't think I would get addicited, but I did. I buy nothing buy Bratz dolls. Oh my goodness.

Other than that, I cruise along and check out what people write as feedbacks and sometimes it can be quiet interesting. Then as you get more involved, you become annoyed with what people actually write. For example.....

Sometimes things happen, for whatever reason. And say this chick bids on something and she wins. Then all of a sudden her pet parrat dies and she's been crying for weeks, all along forgetting that she had a bid on an item that she has proudly won. But she doesn't know this.

Meanwhile, Cherrie997645babydoll4you emails the winning bidder and sends her an invoice. She's been waiting for days and now it's been weeks and she has not heard back from the bidder.

The winner, let's call her, RosyPosy, she finally looks at her ebay and sees that Cherrie997645babydoll4you has sent her several notices. She decides to respond, but before she does so, she notices that she has just received her first negative feedback and this girl is pissed.

Cherrie997645babydoll4you writes in the feedback: "TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE,TERRIBLE! SHE BIDS AND NEVER RESPONDS AND NEVER PAYS. BEWARE OF THIS EBAYER. NOT 2 DO BUSINESS WITH EVER!!"

Well Rosy gets pissed off. She has a strong and positive record. She has gotten nothing but great feedback with lots of A+++++. So what's this girl's problem? Okay, she was upset that she didn't get her money, but most people are so quick to write a negative feedback when they don't hear from the bidder in the first 2 hours after the auction has ended. The best part is when they don't speak english...of course you can tell by the way they write, and they say: "No likea tha doll. Not what it looka like in picture you took. Bait and then switch it. No business from me no more."

If you shop from ebay, you'll know what I'm talking about. It's funny. Most people have a strong record, so if one or two people post negative feedbacks, people will still buy from them without any problems.

So far I'm good. I'm always good. So as long as I pay on time and ship things out quickly, I'm okay.
