neutral woes

soolin

I had a buyer buy several of my items, I knew she was going to be trouble as she had poor feedback only 1 neg but a number of neutrals so I did everything entirely by the book.

Yesterday night she left me 2 positives, one was 'OK' and the other 'alright I suppose' but the third item she left me a neutral for as 'it was very small'...irritating thing is that this was clearly sold with the sizes shown and the fact it was small made it even more collectable so I have responded with a 'how big did you want your 3 inch widget to be then?'

Looking at her other feedback left it looks like I was lucky, almost half the feedback she has left has been negs or neutrals, she even left a neut for someone where she bought a set of 24 widgets and her feedback says 'I wanted more than 24'. She also ruined one poor sellers feedback by leaving two negs complaining about horrendous price charged..when they were auctions, go figure that one!

I have 1 feedback left in hand to leave her and am oh so tempted to leave a negative to warn other sellers to check her return feedback..but I know I shouldn't so will probably just leave nothing.

I just wish some people would read the auctions, makes me so cross.

She is the type of person that if you gave her a million quid in pound coins she would report back with

"Alright I suppose, but it could have been given in £20 notes".

Soo - do it - it might just make her think about the way she buys things and comments on them in future. I'd do it in capitals as well, but that's just me today!

I've just checked her bidding history, she is bidding on a fair amount of stuff and it makes me even more inclined to leave a neg, there are some good sellers she is bidding with and a neg might make them reconsider whether to accept her bids or not. They just need pointing towards her feedback left page, red and grey for all the negs and neutrals she leaves I'd hate to see her wreck another seller.

So tempted.......

Maybe you should then. They say two wrongs and that but if it warns future seller then do it.

People need to be warned.

I'd be inclined to leave something like:

'WARNING! Leaves poor feedback for ridiculous reasons. Cancel her bids!'

But one might see that as a touch unprofessional

DO IT SOO - If she was bidding on my stuff, Id cancel it if I saw a neg like that !! Save us poor sellers !

PM me her ID !! I wanna see )

Yes, I think you should do it, too. Not necessarily a negative but at least a neutral.

I think the trouble with some people is that they take the pos/neg/neutral thing to be representing their overall satisfaction with the transaction, rather than as their satifaction with the way the seller has handled their side of it. (So if they missed the postman and had to go to the sorting office to collect the item, they'd think: "Hmm, not a smooth transaction", and leave a neg :rolleyes: ).

Seems stupid, but that is what some of the explanations for negs and neutrals imply.

bleugh

go on soo, neg her, you'll feel MUCH better for it

you do need to warn sellers about her

I agree that other sellers need to be "warned".
