Re: I hate dead beat bidders!!
 

If a scammer leaves you negative feedback ebay will remove it if you tell them about it. They will rarely remove a retalitory feedback from a non payer . In that case its not worth all the back and forth emails to ebay. If however you are a gold or platinum member they you get a account manager 24/7 by phone and its alot easier to get things done.

Re: I hate dead beat bidders!!
 

not only would PeeBay not remove the neg feedback after seller never shipped and I paid paypal, but they continued to refuse to mutually withdraw all the feedbacks even after the seller scammed 10 other buyers with the same item and then disapeared!! I vollyed over twenty emails with them. they suck. (woops, can I say that here? I mean they suck popsicles in summer, on a really hot fricken day!)
I'll be happy to email you the details but that one red mark is like that cool scar I got at 10 from falling from a moving ice cream truck.

I agree with others here. Just take the negative feedback
and move on. I got my one and only negative feedback two
years ago in much the same manner. I bought a set of 3.73
gears and they came in a box ( only loose paper stacked
between the ring & pinion ) with totally inadequate packing for a
set of precision machined gears. I got pissed because the
seller was a long time seller and should have known better.
I left the dirtbag neutral feedback and he left me negative
feedback. Talk about inappropriate! I contacted eBay and
they did nothing.

As was suggested, others will see your feedback history and
can figure it out for themselves.

BTW, the billboard sounds appropriate, but that would most
likely get you on the bad side of a liable suit. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

It is sad that the number of idiots in America is growing faster than is our population.

Re: I hate dead beat bidders!!
 

The only time I have ever had any trouble with eBay is when I bought car parts! I have over 500 transactions, all Positive, 0 Negative, 0 Neutral, with <u>glowing</u> feedback on both sides, but when I bought car parts I got burned! (We fought to a stalemate and finally agreed not to leave each other feedback so I could avoid wrecking my 100% Positive rating.) (I'd still like to drop the part through his roof from a helicopter hovering 500 feet up.) (The part is now expensive garage art.)

I love eBay and I have made money selling on eBay and I treat all of my buyers as I want to be treated: respectfully. I've had a few miscommunications with buyers and sellers but we worked it out and left each other Positive feedback. Car parts sellers, on the other hand, often misrepresent items (and shill-bid) and I am VERY wary when I watch a car part auction on eBay. When our members list parts on eBay then I know there's an excellent chance that the part is being truthfully represented.

Re: I hate dead beat bidders!!
 

If I remember right you have 45 days to post feed back. Wait till the last day of that period and post the feed back at 11:59 pm. But that does not stop him from buying the next item you have for sale and leaving you bad feed back.

Re: I hate dead beat bidders!!
 

Yeah, I got the clear impression from the lying a-hole I bought the part from that he would haunt me if I gave truthful Negative feedback. I decided that it was best to just let it go and take it as a lesson to be more careful when buying car parts on eBay. If a swap-meet seller will lie to your face about a part then you must assume that eBay is the wild west of car parts sales. (Car sales too.)

Hats off to the honest sellers out there. You know who you are.
