What not to use feedback for!!

Just noticed that the buyer of an item I sold yesterday has left feedback to say that they will pay on Tuesday!

Urgh, dread to think what stars they've left!

  • you can contact ebay and get this comment removed as it doesnt provide any valuable feedback for other buyers/sellers

    Ive seen many messages to sellers via feedback - a lot of which are negative :mad:

    When can i collect, i will pay next week, or hey have you posted this yet.

    Ebay should remove them - but they are oftem as thick as the people who leave it.
  • Thanks guys didn't realise this.

    It's 'social commentary' and there is a policy on it not being allowed.

    I would ring eBay and ask them how the buyer could fairly mark on description and dispatch given they haven't yet paid.

    They don't have to fill in the stars though do they? So maybe they just did the positive.

    But yeah, worth contacting ebay about it.
  • I haven't done anything yet, however incidentally she hasn't paid yet and neither has by payer of the other item. *sigh* both members with low feedback as well :(
  • Not your week. I had one like that last week. :(

    4 days post purchase... probably good time to open an NPB if you ask me. ;)
    "So long and thanks for all the fish" :hello:
  • I'll leave it until tomorrow evening and see. I've sent them both emails as well!! Grrr
