Why are some buyers so harsh when leaving feedback..?

I haven't had any cause to leave bad feedback, admittedly I only have 2 but have bought before on an old name I have subsequently lost all details for. But I have sold (through my Dad's account when I was ill) and for me it was OK. I think some people have way too high expectations for stuff that a lot of people do in their spare time to make money.

Whereas when I'm buying, if someone has a legitimate reason for not being able to send it immediately (illness/accidents) then all they have to do is let me know, as that's just common courtesy, isn't it? Or am I expecting people to be polite?

I book I sent got soaked through because the postie left it on the doorstep as it wouldn't fit through the letterbox. The packaging was padded but not waterproof!


I had a duplicate book so sent it as a gesture of goodwill.......and the buyer still left me a negative. :mad:

I had my first ever negative the other day. It was a BNWT Hooded top from H&M which was labelle as a medium, so I explained this was size 12/14. the lady that bought it then left a neg feedback saying it didnt fit. When I emailled her asking why she said that she was a large 14 but it didnt fit.

What I hate is when people leva e negative without even contacting you to tell you there is a problem.

Fat people seem to be a common problem - can you block them ?

size 14 is fat?
Anyway Back on topic - I left my first neg today for an item that was never received and no contact after 5 weeks :eek: maybe I'm too patient. Fingers crossed not received any yet, although did expect one after a very rude e-mail I received a few months ago, hwever, that all worked out fine.

Sigh...I left positive feedback today, but a low rating for item as described. It was described as "only worn a couple of times"-it had clearly had a lot more wear than that. It looks pretty well-washed to me, and it's starting to pill. DD loves it anyway, well-washed isn't a terrible look on a fleece and I really can't be bothered to argue. But I was expecting a nearly new item and didn't get one. I don't know why I feel guilty.

While looking at some sellers's feedback today I noticed a neg where buyer states that the item measurements were wrong and the item didn't fit, and underneath sellers "follow up": "full refund given and said to keep the item, couldn't have done more" and I'm just so sad for the seller:( Why oh why some buyers feel the need to be so harsh unnecessarily especially when one bad feedback can threaten sellers account. Ridiculous isn't it.

Because they've heard that ebay gives out vouchers to screamers?
