Ever regret leaving negative feedback?

Petescorner

The only Neg I ever left was well deserved (no item shipped and ignored emails for 3 weeks) but then the seller refunded my money shortly after I left the negative and I felt a little guilty. There have also been several times when I was close to leaving one, only to have the situation resolve itself later and then I was glad I didn't react too quickly.

So, have you ever had Negative Feedback Leaver's remorse?

Btw, I like the way Yahoo lets you change your feedback from positive to negative and vice versa.

Never!

No, because I never left any. It could come back to haunt you.
I have a neighbor who sells a lot of antiques on ebay and she
left a single neg feedback. She is totally convinced the individual got
even with her by having friends bid on other of her items and then return
them only to give her terrible feedbacks. She knows it was deliberate.

Only have done it once, in response to a inappropriate neg. feedback on me. I would have preferred to shoot the bass-turd but neg. feedback was more reasonable.

Agree with above - it can get you in trouble and often the situation works itself out.

I have never left negative feedback. There have been a few times when I wanted to, but I never did. I think there will come a time when I will have to, and when it comes I probably will not feel bad about it. Just my opion.

Every neg I've left was well deserved. One to a seller who took over two months and multiple eMails to ship my product (and did so only after I negged him). Of course, he retaliated. And, three for NPBs.

I NEVER regret leaving negs. I only do it if you bid and don't pay or don't send me what I bid on.

People worry too much about getting one back.

i've been tempted a few times to leave negative feedback...but haven't...

what i do is take a few deep breaths and give myself time to think through the situation a bit more...

negative feedback most often turns into useless mini-blurb personal put-downs from what i've seen...i will leave "neutral positive" feedback...not "neutrals",which i think are useless...

if really unhappy with a seller do your real talking with your pocketbook...don't bid on his items in the future...if one suspects the seller is fraudulent,take it up with ebay and/or other authorities...

misunderstandings can so easily arise and harsh words for one another are never useful...

just my opinion...

I never left negative feed but I did have to leave a neutral feed back and fault bad for doing it. he got my name and address wrong the first time he sent about a week after I left the feed back I got the coin.

Never felt guilty about it. It has to be a pretty big infraction for me to leave a neg so I know it's well deserved.

I've regreted leaving positive.

MadMarty

I had a guy buy 6 coins and never heard from him for 3 weeks. I gave him negitive feedback on all 6. Well, needless to say right before he was NARUed he left me 6 negitive feedbacks back. Up to that point I had over 1000 positives and 1 negitive. I would have been better not giving him a negitive and letting him get NARUed anyway.

I tend to wait a long time before posting a negative, to give the situation time to work itself out. However, when I have posted a negative, it was well deserved, for bidders who did not pay.

I regret not leaving a neg for one of the first eBay sellers I bought from. She was NARU'd later, but if I'd have negged her another potential buyer may have been spared some grief.

BlueCole

nope. not even when i bought the "unsearched" wheaties.
