I'm so pissed off.
Remember the guitar I was selling for my friend last week? It was an absolutely GORGEOUS, mint-condition Alembic. I mean, this thing was MINT.... I cannot possibly express how clean this instrument was. Nevertheless, winning bidder buys it.... pays for it immediately..... so I leave very positive feedback for such a quick payment, and ship it out the next day. 3 days go by, and I get an e-mail... "It has dents and scratches all over it..... What will you do to rectify this situation?? I told him that if it is damaged, he can bring it to the post office and claim insurance on it. After all, I insured it for more than he paid for it........ But he didn't want to do that. I offered him a full refund if he sent it back...... He didn't want to do that either. What he DID want.......... was cash. He said that I should refund the difference between what he paid for shipping, and what I actually spent on shipping..... which was about $35.00. (Keep in mind, this was almost a $1500 transaction). Yet.... he demanded that I pay him first.... THEN he'd leave his feedback. I refused to "buy him off" for $35....... now I have my first negative feedback in 67 transactions...... over 35 f*cking dollars. What an asshole. This ever happened to anyone else? |

I have heard of this but it's never happened to me. I have gone to leaving feedback after the transaction is complete and the other party has left feedback for me. I would complain to Ebay about it, you did keep all the emails from it? Turn him in to Ebay as a fraudulent buyer and explain it to them. They may reverse it or remove it or at least make him a non registered user. It's worth a try. The only negative feedback I got was from a guy (I think he is a member here) that left me negative like I was the seller when in fact, I was the buyer. He didnt know what he was doing. He appologized and wrote he was sorry but at that time, feedback was not removable.
