The proper feedback

127 posts in this topic

the worst you get from me is no repeat business and a silly thread about a possible star ding.

 

This all sounds like a horrible buyer that you wouldn't want to deal with?

 

Yes. Ebay considers all seller with less than 4.9 star averages to be rotten sellers. Ebay has terminated over 100,000 accounts in the last year. Star dings for small sellers are critical as it takes 10 more buyers to leave 5 stars to make up for the 4 you left. It takes a lot more if you leave a 3, 2, or 1. A couple 2's and 1's in a short time can get a seller banned from ebay overnight.The best thing for a person like you is to join the majority of ebayers who no longer participate in the feedback sytem. Only 35-40% of ebayers bother with feedback anymore. If you can't leave positive with all 5 stars, don't leave anything. If you've been lied to, cheated or scammed, that's another story. Leave appropriate FB then. But for your situation, no FB left at seems like the best option for you and your sellers. You will end up on every seller's block list for dinging stars for something so trivial. We pass our block lists around to each other to copy and paste. Once on them, most sellers will never take you off it.
