    Did you not try to contact the seller 1st?

    Some chinese buyers are very keen to save their feedback. When they have thousands they dont want to start over.
    I bought an item and 30 days later it had not arrived, The seller refunded the next day.

    I didnt have to ask, It seemed to be their policy. After 30 days refund.

    does this warrant any other action or should I just ignore them?
    Personally, I'd leave a follow-up to my Negative saying something like "Seller has now been offering me money if I remove my feedback".

    These days I always add the number of "revised feedback" to the number of Negatives when I'm evaluating a seller.

    Feedback should reflect your experience of the transaction.

    Sellers should act accordingly - not lie on their listings then hope to flatter the customer into revision.

    It's one thing if the seller, having received poor feedback without contact, assists the purchaser and makes things right with them after the event. That is why I think I disagree about revisions - it shows a seller perhaps prepared to swallow their pride and deal with their buyers if there is a problem. If that had been the case a number of years ago I hope that several negs I was left would have been revised.

    However, a straight-up bribe and begging letter would get short shrift from me. The good sellers who are happy to make things right with their buyers don't lie about item location and they certainly don't send out fakes. There's nothing someone like that could do to make me feel any better about the transaction.

    How much were they offering to alter the neg?
    I was offered £10 to retract a neg I gave (beat that) I can see why the sellers on here would be dead against the idea as it might encourage speculative harmful negs just in the hope of money back.
    In my case those siren twins Prevarication and Procrastination meant , in the end, nothing changed
