Look at all the positive negatives for this guy for non-payment. Yet ebay does nothing.

IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

    I wonder if eBay even looks at the details of all the feedback. If they were monitoring the feedback, I would think that they would look only at Negatives. (I understand that you can't leave a Negative for a buyer.)

    Probably at least a few NPB cases have accompanied the feedback.

    He won one of my auctions a few weeks ago. I filed a NPB and reported to eBay. I see it did no good.

    I have honestly never heard of anyone getting the boot for not paying. I just don't think ebay cares.

    18 unique positive negatives for this guy, accounting for 40% of his overall feedback. Yikes!

    eBay used to have a three NPB strikes and you're out policy. It made too much sense though, so they got rid of it. The list of things they've done to screw up the site is staggering.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    Apologies if this is obvious, but why haven't any of these sellers left negative feedback? For fear the buyer would return the favor? I thought one couldn't leave feedback for a seller until the item was paid for..


    EDIT: I see someone mentioned above that you can't leave negative feedback for a buyer. That is asinine and makes this side of the feedback loop all but meaningless... Has this always been the case?

    No. At one point, sellers were able to leave neutral or negative feedback for buyers, too. That ended several years ago when ebay focused on buyer satisfaction to the exclusion of all else.

    Actually, and this may not be all of it, but too many sellers were playing "feedback hostage" on buyers. For example, a seller is selling garbage, that they know to be garbage...buyer gets items, sees that they are garbage and leaves appropriate feedback......seller then negs buyer for being a "difficult customer". Actually had this happen once on a $1500 item, buyer bid on auction, then didnt pay, so I left a neg...got a neg back saying my item was resealed and counterfeit even though he never paid and I never shipped. Ebay removed the FB after phone call, but it illustrates the issue

    For buyers, to me, if you pay, your obligation to the transaction is over and you should get an automatic positive that a seller could add to if they wanted OR if they dont pay, it is an automatic negative.
    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY
