The last couple of weeks I have been selling on eBay to get rid of a lot of stuff that is cluttering up space. Since selling on eBay is relatively new to me, I ran into some non-payments on a couple of items. I did all what eBay said to do. I tried to send a message with the buyer and got no reply. I did the eBay "Resolution Center" report. Still no response. Now it's been almost 2 weeks and I'm about to close the case as a non-payment. Should I leave a negative feedback and leave a non-payment message or leave it a a nutural feedback?
I'd go with negative. They're breaking a contract by not paying. Plus, you are out time having to relist, you may have had other potential buyers, etc.
well I dont think Sellers can leave negative/neutral feedback to buyers anymore. All you can do is close the case and get your fees back and the buyer will receive a non payment strike.
What sucked about the old feedback way is if you left someone a negative, then they would leave a revenge negative on yours. People were sometimes afraid to make the first feedback move. You may get a few shaky transactions in the beginning, until you get a few items sold and people know you're legit. It sucks when people lack communication though.
You can't leave negative feedback anymore; but you can open a dispute. After 4 days of the dispute being open you can close the case and the buyer will receive a non-paying bidder strike.
Well this sucks. I just closed the dispute for non-payment and I was credited for the fees. But I'm not able to leave feedback. So these deadbeat bidder numbnuts are able to keep their 100% rating and the non-payment strike will be removed in 6 months.
NPBs go away now? Back in ye olden tymes, I had to fight for an entire year to get my account unsuspended over NPBs for auctions I'd never even bid on...
Sucks because you can't leave any feedback. Only thing you can do is block the buyer from any future bids or purchases.
I've been selling my entire toy collection (out of desperation for money) and had this happen on two auctions from the same bidder. 3 weeks had gone by and no payment and no reply from him after I had sent a message two weeks after auction's end. Two weeks later I gave him a week to pay or that I would relist it. Still no response so I relisted the auctions. This time I got paid. But yeah, I couldn't leave negative or even neutral feedback, which is BS because buyers pull some shady crap all the time.
