If you pay for postage at the counter you're paying a lot more than you need to. Printing labels at home will save you 20-30% over purhasing at the counter, and you don't have to wait in the postal lines either.

Never talk to buyers, ever. I would have ignored his first message.

Also defiantly don't send the jeans. Refund him and have an amazing comeback for the one negative on your feedback, everyone will look at it and like you and thing that guy is insane.

Also you can contact e-bay to take off the bad feedback if it is unjust, they can look at the messages. Just tell them he was threatening and you were uncomfortable with the situation.

Edit: and upon further reading you actually sent them... good luck.

So the buyer just left me positive feedback... but had this to add:
'seller was pushy wanted to be paid one day after won ebay gives 7 days befor pay'.

I have no idea why he's calling me pushy or why he's saying I wanted to be paid one day after he won the auction. Anyway, at least it's overwith.

What an idiot. Wasn't he the one that asked to pay on Friday? Can he retract a positive feedback? If not, I would respond to it with an explanation.

Not knowing isn't an issue but you should have looked it up before sending him that message. That way instead of the flimsy "I'll send it this day unless the post office is closed" you could have given a definitive answer to when you'd ship the item. Less room for the buyer to complain when you do that especially when dealing with a dipshit.

You should respond with your side of the story. Too bad you can't really leave him any feedback yourself.

Between the way he talked to you and the fact he decided to throw in that he bought his GF a new car and has an Escalade I'm willing to bet this is your run of the mill 5'5 fake tough guy.

If you mean respond to his feedback, there is no way to do that. If you mean respond by sending him a message, I've explained to him numerous times ebay auto opened the case, not me. Not sure if you read all those messages in the beginning of the post, but it seems he might be a little slow.

If buyers messages are ignored, they'd just end up leaving neg feedback anyway or giving one star for communication.

Seriously! That buyer is the ULTIMATE example of white privilege!

stingermck

In the future don't assume any information that you are telling the buyer. In the time it took to tell him you don't know when the PO is closed, you could have looked it up.

But at least you got the positive. A couple of negatives and eBay will send you packing these days.

jjcool

Didn't there used to be a way to respond to feedback left for you? Did they take that feature away?

orangerunner

I think they removed that feature a few years ago. I guess it caused too many nasty written exchanges among buyers and sellers.

A negative feedback can be reversed if both parties mutually agree it was unwarranted or the problem was solved.

Why So Blu?

I have the Unpaid Ebay thing set for 4 days after bidding ends. My listings clearly say that payment must be received within 24hrs. If people can't follow directions then that's their fucking problem. Out of 100 items that I sold last week I've had only 3 flakes. I've already received the final value fee from one, and Ebay will file the claim in a another day ort 2 on the two jerks.

Does this not work anymore? because it works for me.

JZ1276

I didn't know about that. I was looking for a 'reply' option on the regular feedback page.

jjcool

If it was me, I would followup on that feedback. Especially if you arent a big seller on ebay.

JZ1276

Already did that. Thanks.
