Thread: Leave negative feedback?

I recently bought a razor on eBay, a no name brand that looked decent enough for a resto candidate. Had a BIN of $17.99, bought it, paid for it, checked today and the seller has canceled the order and refunded my Paypal. Seller sent a message apologizing and also said they just can't sell it for that cheap.

Im not out anything, but am pretty disappointed.

I feel that I should leave a negative feedback for there BS. Sellers remorse.

If a leave a negative feedback, will it affect mine in anyway?

If you leave a negative so can they. I would report it to eBay or call them at 866-540-3229. Did you pay for it before you got an invoice? If you got an invoice and paid I would let eBay know that. Good luck.

Did they post minimum bid or no minimum bid? I'd talk to eBay about it. Seems wrong for the seller to make a decision after the sale. Giving negative feedback will not affect your ratings. Don't leave neg rating till after talking to eBay.

I would 100% contact ebay. No different than you winning a item and not paying.

Did I tell you about my grandkid who bid on a duck auction while I stepped away for a second. I was pissed at the kid but I should have closed the laptop. Cost me $140. Man that one made me upset. Still paid up because I hate getting stiffed by nonpayers. Its a painful but its a matter of principle. Pray the razor gods are good to me in the future.

As per Ebay rules a seller can cancel until 30 days after the sale, even if the buyer already paid for the item.

"Occasionally, you may need to cancel a transaction, for instance, if the item is broken or you made a mistake when listing it."

Scroll down the page and read the 'Things to keep in mind'. "If you cancel a transaction, the buyer can still leave you negative or neutral Feedback about the transaction."

First of all, the seller can not leave a negative feedback. Sellers can not leave positive, neutral, or negative, they leave stars based on payment speed. i had the exact same thing happen to me with a DD goldedge. BIN was 30$. He claims it was accidentally made with a BIN. This just isn't possible, you have to change it from a regular auction to a BIN. I do not see this happening on accident. I left a negative feedback and explained why to the seller. If it was an accident, he should have caught it in the preview page before finalizing the auction. It is a frustrating thing to have happen.

Report the seller. If it was an auction without reserve, then they don't get the chance to decide that they don't like the sale price.

I've sold many things on ebay where the sale price wasn't to my liking, but a deal is a deal and I shipped it and said thanks to the buyer. It's the risk of listing an auction. I've also listed things that sold higher than I'd have made a BIN, so it goes both ways and you don't get to cherry pick.

Usually sellers watch the auction and if it isn't going to their liking they terminate the auction for a variety of "reasons". Depending on if there are bids and how close it is to the close they may have to pay fees.

Doing what this guy did is a big step beyond though they do it. I'd just complain to Eboy about it. Enough complaints and his overall score will be lower.

Sellers cannot leave negative or neutral feedback on ebay. Only buyers. That is the policy the past few years, as screwy as it is.
