    I think you have missed the point on this one. We are all aware you can check feedback through eBay but the tool above picks out ONLY NEUTS AND NEGS, therefore saves loooooads of time trawling through the positives.

    Yes I got the point of what you was saying but i dont think you got the point of what i was saying as you can do this with ebay, all you need to do is;

    go onto a feedback page, under contact member the is a drop down box and it say's ALL, click on it and go down to either past month, 6 months or 12 months and press go, a new page will appear exactly the same except above the 1st feedback the will be

    Show: All | Positive (x) | Neutral (x) | Negative (x) | Withdrawn (x)

    if somebody has been left a neutral negative or have withdrawn a feedback it will be in blue and you can click on it to see all the negative etc feedback in one place and you can also see the feedback they left in return.

    saves loooooads of time trawling through other web sites

    Fair comment, but i still think its quicker just to go to that website, put in the eBayer's name and click enter.

    .....an item turns up totally not as described! :mad:

    I bought a dress which was SUPPOSEDLY Brand New without tags. It turns up today, creased to death, reeking of fags and the label inside the dress is filthy! I wouldn't mind, but i paid a fair amount for this dress and it turns out to be see thru! No mention of that in the flippin' auction!
    I've just had a root thru their feedback only to find previous comments about the smoke smell and about used dresses being sent instead of new. (Not negs btw, in pos's!) Here's how the seller responds to feedback:

    "IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY ITEM TO SMELL OF SMOKE AS DESPATCHED FROM NON SMOKING STORAGE. ITEM NEW"

    Hmm, well i beg to differ. I want the seller to have a whiff of the dress they sent me and check out the riffy tag,

    I've emailed the seller with my complaints in a very pleasant manner, but will i receive a reply? Time will tell.

    UPDATE: Well i received this from the seller:

    Hi,

    Thank you for your email, all our items are new and are purchased from a warehouse supplier, if you look on ebay at the moment we have 24 of the exact same dress for sale. The dress is not see though. No items smell of smoke as they are despatch from non smoking storage unit - with exception of the 1st negative item on my feedback as that was despatch by a smoking employee. Please feel free to leave whatever feedback that you find appropriate as i clearly state on my bids no returns or refunds

    What shall i do now? The seller is effectively calling me a liar, when in fact its the SELLER that is a liar!

    By law the one thing a seller is required to do is describe the item accurately. Where the hell do i go from here :(. Why would i make it up! Besides, i'm not the only person to complain about this judging by their feedback.

    I'm going to file a complaint with eBay but i can't do that until the 28th Feb. I am also filing a complaint with Paypal. No point contacting the seller again, its blatantly obvious they don't want to know.

    Times like this, eBaying is rubbish :(
    Has this person left you feedback? If she has then Shred the dress, send it back with no post and leave her negative feedback, it might not bother her about her returns policy but it will give you a nice warm feeling inside that you have exacted some revenge!

    Oh yeah, she left me feedback alright! A retalitory neg to mine. My 1st one too :'( She blatantly lied in the feedback too which really peed me off.


    Like the revenge idea though. A dish best served cold ;)

    Get another ebay account and buy something off her again for the minimum price or even the highest. Either don't pay for the item or pay it get it sent to you and then just leave some more negative feedback, get your friends to do the same and then 3 strikes its all over for her!
    That warm feeling will have increased in triplicate now!
    Can you name and shame her or give us one of the item numbers?

    Put her down as one of your favourite sellers then when she puts stuff on 'watch' it but without bidding this annoys me no end when people do this to me because you think your going to make a sale but nothing happens - How bad is that!!
