Re: [MOPO] my first bad feedback

[Brek Anderson]

Hi JR, Wasn’t me, it was Michael B. I just gave him some advice on how to get rid of the negative. Knock on wood I am still at 100% on approaching 2000 total feedback. I did get my first and only negative retracted with some work about a year ago.  eBay has some ways now to get rid of negatives from new members, but you need to act fast.

I remember how betrayed and hurt I felt the day I got my first (and only) negative... from a guy who had actually bought from me before and left positive feedback. But then he won a $200 pulp in a hot bidding war and apparently he had got carried away and didn't really have the money to pay for it... but instead of fessing up to me and letting me cancel the sale and offer it to someone else, he kept jerking me around for almost 8 weeks... telling me  "he forgot to mail the payment..." then "the check is in the mail..." etc., etc., until I finally gave up and relisted the item and sold it to someone else. When he saw me do that, he left me a blistering negative... claiming that I had taken his money and never sent him the item, if you can believe it!   Oh, yes...I guess I should also offer  my apologies for disturbing the delicate sensibilities of any reader who may have been shocked and appalled just now at my use of the "J" word above. :}   -- JR   ----- Original Message ----- From: Brek Anderson To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Monday, August 14, 2006 16:40 Subject: Re: [MOPO] my first bad feedback   If a new ebayer has less than 10 feedback you are supposed to be able to get it removed if you request (if ebay implemented what they said they would at ebay live). If that id becomes restricted or unregistered then the negative will be automatically removed because their feedback is less than 10. Contact ebay and you should get an answer in a couple of weeks. It is worth the fight to keep a clean record. Be sure to write the follow-up to the negative even if just “as described, flat stated shipping, no contact”.
