i wouldn't neg. she obvioulsy has access to multiple accounts and MAY decide to ruin your auctions and feedback with one of these accounts. However, it depends on how good your feedback is, i wouldn't risk my 100% so for a dodgy user.

So, i would report her to ebay, but that is about it.

Which is why you should have seperate buying and selling accounts.

Once reported and investigated all her accounts will be suspended incl. her bf's account for the shill bidding.

So how bad would somebody have to treat you to get a neg?!!
And why should you let a dodgy person blackmail you into anything? Feedback is only a number - it does not put food on the table, and in the scheme of things one neg is not anything to lose sleep over.

I thought the seller couldn't neg a buyer in retaliation?

I would neg. Just given my first neg for a buyer not sending something for over 2 weeks and no communication.

My feedback is factual and not nasty so a buyer can make up their own mind about the seller.

Feedback should be useful and informative and I don't view negs badly when deciding to buy from a seller. I make a decision on what the neg. is telling me.

They would use a second account to make a purchase from the original buyer (who it is assumed sells on the same account) and deliberately leave a negative.

It's really time that feedback was knocked on the head. It takes up too much far time and effort for all concerned, and even people with very bad ratings still get sales - which proves that it is often ignored anyway.

Neg her, block her from bidding on your stuff, then report her. This only shows either (a) how naive she is in admitting to shill bidding in the first place therefore deserves to get neg'd for sheer stupidity and/or (b) that this is common practice on Ebay - or she believes it is, in which case ditto.

i only have 300+ 100% feedback. I'm not a big seller, but when i do sell i want people to know that i am trustworthy. And before anybody disagrees, it my opinion that if one seller has 99% and another has 100%, i'd go with the 100%. There are so many sellers selling the same things that a buyer can afford to cherry pick who they wish to purchase from.

I've never had to give a neg, nor have i received one. I'd like to think whatever the problem, it could be worked through before it got to that stage.

How do you want to work this one out?

Nice idea in theory - but there are hundreds of examples of negative feedback being left without warning. Such things like "where's my item?" or "ok" and a big red blob next to it.

As for leaving it for sellers - if I had been the buyer in the OP, I can not think of a better reason to leave a neg. The seller has made here wait and admitted to trying to rip her off.
