    I know they should get a big fat negative, but I'm easily swayed and the seller is now offering me an item they think I'll like for free as a way of saying thank you

    They aren't saying thank you they are trying to save their a@@.

    And I bet the free gift is gonna be something really worth having.....NOT!!

    Probably because they know how damaging a well worded negative and a non performing seller alert can be.

    UPDATE - I have now done the right thing

    'Seller refused to sell concert ticket at bid price as it was below face value, despite auction having no reserve'

    Good old ebay Taiwan

    Yes indeed, complain. You won the auction fair and square.

    If she wanted more dough, she should've set the start price at th lesat she was prepared to accept.

    Report and leave negative feedback.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Just got an email from the seller

    'You're a cheeky !!!!. Could have atleast left neutral feedback as I was decent about it and didn't just ignore you. I shall retract my feedback accordingly.

    Whatever aih, I've just met Liam Gallagher and seeing them on all club dates. Face that cares. You'd be raging if your £15 ticket sold for a quid. I'm a student so didn't want to lose money. Tighto.'

    Nope, that was it, and this is what I'm planning to send back

    'But if you didn't want to loose money then you should have started the auction at the minimum ammount that you were willing to accept, its not my fault that it went for less. Or lat least don't state in the auction about no reserve, by that you are accepting that it can go for less. Plus by looking at your feedback and items for sale it seems you're quite used to selling tickets, usually for inflated costs. All goot touts should know that prices depend on demand, no demand, low prices. And go ahead and try and get it removed because there are only two ways to do it that won't put a warning on your account and one of them requires me to agree to its removal.



    And if you're a student (which I am too) and didn't want to loose money you're certainly plush going to see Oasis at all their club dates with a ticket cost of at least £32.50 a ticket over 4 dates. And Oasis are crap anyway, I met Noel over a year ago and he's a miserable git. But at the end of the day I could have left neutral feedback but the whole point of feedback it to let other users know. And a lot of people don't read comments just look at percentages and a neutral doesn't change it so by me leaving a neutral isn't going to help other buyers. You refused to complete the transaction not me, I was willing to carry out my part of the deal

    well the good thing is they cant retract feedback to my knowledge unless you also agree to it which i'm sure you won't!

    so glad universities are churning out such eejits!!
