Ebay - question on feedback

HeywoodHeywood Posts: 1,246 ✭✭✭
Has anyone ever asked why you can't do a sort on feedback to look at only the Negs?

There was one seller I was researching who had alot of negs, I went back and found they were all from the same buyer who didn't read the description, in my opinion there was no deception even hinted at, just an idiot buyer.

    Basically, because it would almost certainly unfairly put the seller in a poor light. If a seller had 10,000 feedbacks and 10 negs, and you looked at only the negs, you'd probably conclude that he's a crook, rather than just encountering a kook every now and then.

    That said, there are third party tools that let you do this. I don't have the links handy, but I'm sure someone will post them... (EDIT: I got OWN3D by k6az image )

    If you have Firefox, the webmaster of the site K6AZ linked has a tool that allows you to right click on any ebay ID and see all the neg's.

    Thanks for the tool!

    Flamino,
    In general, I like to take negs in context, so "Coin is not ms but a slider" would be different from "seller is a crook, uses shills beware!".

    I also would look at Mutuals, which can be negs switched to avoid the retalitory neg.
