Arrogant E-Bay user!

GRRRR!

Sorry, just venting. On ebay I had a perfect 100% positive feedback rating, which I rated myself highly on. I always pay for items the second I buy them and deliver items the day they're ordered from me.

Now, I have 97% because of some moron faced idiot.

Basically, NINETEEN days ago, I won a top that with FIRST CLASS postage came to about £3. Now, I'm patient, I wait for a week and then write to them asking polietly when I should expect to be receiving my item.

I get nothing again for about another week so I write back, this time a little more stern saying that I don't like putting negative feedback for people, but if I don't recieve my item, I may well have to.

Lo and behold they wrote back claiming to have sent the item the day after I bought it (lie) and that they'd sent me two e-mails so far (lie) and that I just hadn't got them (lie).

I'll tell you why this is a lie: When you said a message through e-bay, it goes to your inbox, but just incase your e-mail spam filter blocks it or whatever, it sends you a message directly on e-bay.

I had absolutely no messages from them, apart from that one.

I write back, politely asking for some details of postage so I can check it was sent, etc, etc - shocking. No more e-mails.

So I ask them after EIGHTEEN DAYS of waiting for my item if they don't contact me or refund my money I'll leave negative feedback. No contact AGAIN, so on day nineteen I did.

I mean come on people, I pay over £2 postage for a tiny vest top that'd barely cost a £1 to send and it takes them almost three weeks to do anything about it?!

So because they're bitter, they left ME negative feedback saying I was abusive and IMPATIENT!!! I couldn't believe it!

How am I impatient for waiting nineteen days for an item with only one measly e-mail and no offer for a refund!? I contacted them saying if they refunded my money in full and withdrew their feedback I'd leave it be and withdraw mine, but we'll see...

i have had trouble like that, i just gave up on ebay because i was not getting the items at all that i had payed for and i did not really have enough spare money to keep paying for undelivered items

I had an issue like that! I bought a cover for my phone but the only way it could be put on was by unscrewing a section of my phone...which I stupidly did and royally screwed my phone up

I sent two emails to them explaining their product was faulty and basically useless and that I incurred £35 worth of charges because their product made me break their phone.

No reply

So I left negative feedback to which they then left me negative feedback claiming I hadn't contacted them first.

So I replied with the fact that I sent two emails and waited two weeks before I left negative feedback.

They then asked to mutually withdraw the negative feedback.

I declined. The Schmucks!!

I don't care that I lost £3. That doesn't bothered me. But if they'd have just admitted that they hadn't posted it or at least e-mailed me none of this would have happened.

I'm not abusive because I demand better service. I didn't swear, insult or intimidate. I just said either they give me an item or my money back or I leave negative feedback. I didn't THREATEN them!

I've been really lucky with e-bay *touches wood* but I know there are some really crap people on their too. I find as long as you and the seller can communicate and be friendly things always go alright. Like personally I wouldn't mind if someone emailed me saying sorry it's going to be a bit of a delay posting the item or explaining why it's late. It's when people lie about emails when it's so easy to prove that you sent them! doh.

Unfortunately some ebay users really are that arrogant. I had trouble with one in particular, who firstly told me that he was moving house so he couldn't send me the item for about 2 weeks, would I like him to post it from another village? Er, yes please I have been waiting for about 2 weeks prior to this. He then decided that he couldn't send the product for another month, would I like a refund? Yes as the item in question cost £23, didn't ever see hide nor hair of it. No rpely to emails. It really put me off using ebay, haven't surfed it since.
