My favorite negative feedbacks...

Reviewing my feedback, I find 3 negs. Two are worth sharing:


VERY DUMB BUYER. WATCH OUT FOR THIS NEG. FEEDBACK HAPPY HO


I OFFERED YOU A SOLUTION AND YOU DID NOT ACCEPT IT AND CALED ME A MIDGET


What gems lie in your feedback profile?

    This is one where the person kept trying to get me to lower price after auction ended. I lowered it just to get rid of them .... and then they wanted me to lower it some more!

    Entire transaction was horrible! Learned a lot about ebaying!

    Buyer:
    Reply Kept trying to get me to lower price more. I did & NOOB still would NOT PAY!!

    I got my first neg last month...and deserved it. image

    My sister who's in college bought a cheap $2 mug glass but didn't bother to tell me (my mom, sister, and i all share the same name, we don't buy much). Well anyway, a month later i realize i had an unpaid item...paid for the item and apologized, but by that point the neg was there and probably deserved. image

    Midget? image

    I only have one. Long story, told on the forum when I got it. Don't remember the wording of the neg.

    Pretty straightforward, really, as the feedback was partly deserved for my poor communications.

    Fast summary- coworker saw fancy pair of $200 racing skates on eBay, didn't have account, nice old me offered to buy them if coworker would send money order to pay seller, coworker said yes he would, I thought nothing more of it for a good while, asked coworker if he'd sent money order, coworker lied and said yes, seller emailed me but I was offline for a while, seller didn't get paid and I got a semi-deserved neg.

    For a stinkin' pair of skates I never would have bought in the first place.

    Stupid me, for trusting the lying coworker.

    Stupid me, for being too nice.

    Stupid me, for not checking email more often.

    There it is.

    PS- at least I had the satisfaction of seeing the lying coworker get fired not long afterward.

    Like the midget who gets rear ended when the driver behind him slid on gravel and bumped into him at a stop sign. He gets out of his car and runs back to the driver of the car which hit him. Angrily he shouts " Im NOT HAPPY". image

    The guilty driver looks COINfused and responds with "Oh ? Which one are ya ? "

    My first neg came in retaliation. I won a shirt and the collar was an inch smaller than stated in the auction description and the sleeves were 1.5 " shorter. I notified the seller that the shirt was useless to me and I wanted to return it.

    Seller replied that I probably gained weight and did not want to admit it!

    So, I negged him and got one back!

    Just one from a blow-hard NPB after I gave him all the flexibility in the world. Even called him on the phone, and caught him in a direct lie. S.O.B stories about having to pay for medical expenses for a sick wife, all the while entering many more bids with other sellers... NARUed shortly afterwards.

    BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    i, my friend, have a whole collection of classic ebay f/b's. it's a hobby of mine, &, here's a very short sampler:

    "three times in the last week I've soiled myself. YOU tell ME why."

    "Is HUMAN. Has increased capacity for REASONING. Not a MONKEY. ...BRAINS... "

    "Whatchu say? You call me on da telephones and talkin SMACK about me? No no no!"

    I dont have one yet in 445 transactions since jan 1998, but ya never know when one will popup. With all the new ebay rules, and scammers, I do not think I want to sell coins on ebay anymore.

    think I would rather use the BST

    DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS GUY!!! NOTHING BUT TROUBLE!!!!

    Easily the most difficult person I have ever experienced on ebay - Argues a slab

    Buyer Does Not Follow Simple Policy!Thinks he's smarter than PCGS?Coin was nice

    Not as good as Andy's, but I'm proud of these 3 from 3 scam artist types. And to think I had the nerve to "argue a slab!" That particular coin had a washed out reverse photo on a 65RD old holder Lincoln...hiding a humongous fingerprint the size of Illinois.

    I don't have any negative feedbacks myself, but I recall a member here once telling about a negative feedback that he received after selling a half dime on eBay. The transaction was completed successfully, and without incident, but the buyer left a negative feedback because the coin was ..... too small.

    I saw a pair the other day that got me. A newbie buyer gave a neutral for slow mailing. The dealer responded witha negative that said "leaves bad feedback". That sure sounds like retalitory (and escalating) feedback right on the face of the statement.

    i have two negs, both from non paying bidders, one guy took 60 days to pay, then when he wanted to pay, i was out of town so i couldnt NEXT day air the thing to him, he wrote: "tried to pay several times but buyer was never around"

    i do have an interesting neutral though, something to the effect of "coin was overgraded" and there is absolutely NO mention of ANY grade in the description

    some of the positives are better yet, how about: "nice coin but a bit overpriced" (this was a coin that i started at 99c and sold for roughly $75) or: "shipping was slow, but the item was better than expected" this was a guy in california that got his item in five days (im in michigan)

    sometimes i truly believe that ebay buyers are some of the dumbest people on the planet

    My first eBay transaction was in 2001 or so, when I was 9 or 10. It was a negative one... I bought a 1990 proof set (my birthyear) for $21.50 and I had my parents send a check for me (after I pay them), but got no coins! Discouraging, but I guess I was lucky that it wasn't a big loss (at least that's what I feel now image).



    << <i>Check was cashed but didn't received item, won't return e-mails, don't buy !!!!! >>



    EDIT--

    My favorite feedback from eBay:



    << <i>payed by money order and it is real thanks >>

    I just saw one negative for a seller (wsmmbe) because the buyer (kingpinbossman199) was surprised and disappointed by the small size of a half dime. Unbelievable.
