Sorry but I can't find the logic in your 'logic'! Again - lots of presumptions.
And 'just a suggestion' - asking OP if she's informed HMRC etc. etc.?!
Nah sorry, sounds like you're suspicious (for some bizrre reason) of fraud on OP's part and as she has also pointed out, such 'ideas' are nothing to do with the thread (and not very friendly )!! :rotfl::rotfl:

It seems that these sellers are suffering from a suspicious sixth sense that is jumping everytime out of nowhere !:cool:

I didn't say that you specifically had on this thread however I is a capital not a lower case letter. When you use a comma you do not put a space before only after. You also do not require a comma when using but, and so on

The below is not easy to read due to the grammar:

Just Sick , if the seller doesn't understand what i'm writing then he's simply an idiot and this must be the nature's problem not mine, I'm married to a british and i communicate with him and his family EASILY never had any problem nor someone said he didn't understand what I'm telling him ,unless as i said IDIOTS

and because of the above and a few other bits and pieces that you have wrote I stated 'I often find that buyers with English as their 2nd, 3rd, etc language often mis-punctuate which makes their messages harder to read/understand and often come across as being rather rude'

If I had time I would post a list of sentences which mean different things when the punctuation is incorrect but I have to run now to pick the kids up.

Have to say Marie you've got big problems if you found that difficult to read.....

Can't believe people on here are saying the OP's English is below par......

She has perfectly adequate writing skills and I find her posts very easy to read and understand.

A lot of useless blah blah. I spend at least 4 hours a day picking my items and sometimes 6 hours. I organize the way i work and I don't need any advice regarding this.

My family is my JOY, They are never distracting me. If that's your case then it's yours but definitely not mine. I love my husband, I love my son and I love myself and can never feel the distraction from someone who I love. I suppose you and the other parrots on this thread are suffering from some kind of family pressure or lack of affection, I can see that from your posts filled with mocking, offence and false judgements threwn here and there !!

You don't have to throw a fit, tell your life story and start psychoanalysing everyone when somebody disagrees with you on an online forum. Apparently, you just wanted people to support you and tell you all the other sellers are evil. This is not how things work in real life. People might disagree with you, so either learn to deal with it or don't ask for anyone's advice again.

Haven't read the thread, but have a good idea how it went All I can say is, f me, is it half term already?

The part that I quoted is more difficult to read as the punctuation is incorrect however I did not state that it was difficult to understand which is a big difference.

My point still remains that buyers frequently use poor writing skills when communicating with a seller and whilst you may feel that the OP's English writing is perfect unfortunately it isn't (although it is understandable) but we do not know how they communicate with their sellers and I find it highly unusual that so many sellers are unable to resolve any of the buyers issues and I am obviously not alone in this.

The buyers understanding and writing was mentioned by several as a possibility as to why they have found so many sellers to be lacking as it is very unusual.

As for my own understanding I have a business on both eBay and Amazon and sell around 5,000 items per week and receive messages that often take a second or third reading to clearly understand what the buyer is querying and these messages aren't only difficult for me to read but also for my employees so it isn't just me.

The OP has stated that their understanding of the descriptions on the listings are not the issue which makes the OP very unlucky and obviously eBay agree.

I think that's the key point there. OP is on a forum in their spare time and that's not the same as running a business and communicating over transactions. Their English/writing is far from the worst I've seen and I doubt their first thought when writing this was that it all must be perfectly written.

I'm sure that sellers deal with people daily who barely know English/how to write so even if OP does write the same their messages would be very easy to understand compared to them people.

There's other issues that can affect a situation being resolved, some of which have already been pointed out, yet you only really seem to think that the OP writing is the problem.

As for my own understanding I have a business on both eBay and Amazon and sell around 5,000 items per week and receive messages that often take a second or third reading to clearly understand what the buyer is querying and these messages aren't only difficult for me to read but also for my employees so it isn't just me.

Without knowing who you're dealing with, there could be reasons for that. A lot of buyers are from non-english speaking countries (and therefore barely know English), you happen to deal with mostly people who have little education or who generally use a lot of chat speak etc. On the other hand, it could also be that you and your employees just all read things in the same way and have a similar understanding of messages whereas someone else may take it a completely different way (as is often the case with text).

It doesn't prove anything with regards to this situation because we don't know how OP writes in messages or who their sellers are.

now I'm just gutted to see all the feedback i left are removed , I feel that's very unfair and doesn't respect the feedback policy which i'm following very well ; no profane or insults but brievly what happened !

any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

Concentrate on your problem, because that's what it is: Yours.

Ebay have contacted you. That in itself is a warning to change your ways, irrespective of how your appeal pans out, and of how you feel about their action.

As a full-time seller, it's nice to see the report feature may be working. Though now your feedback has disappeared, that makes it easier for you to buy from a lot of sellers. Not good if you still aren't happy with 3 of every twenty purchases.

If I was to supply someone with your feedback record, I'd be on tenterhooks waiting for problems to arise.

If you have so many problems buying through ebay, why not find other sources of supply? If you were having as many problems in a supermarket, and you had a choice, wouldn't you start shopping elsewhere?

Some neutrals and negatives are justified, but either you're too trigger-happy or you're buying badly.

You say you spend a lot of time on ebay. Maybe you should think of how you can improve your own buying experience, as what you do now has bought you to ebay's attention. If 15% of the time you're less than happy with the result of your purchases, work to make your level of satisfaction higher.

Those are all, I hope, constructive criticism.

OK.

OP, I am deeply sorry that you have been offended by my questions or anything I have said. Of course leaving a larger number of negs as feed back is ok. Even if the majority of people on this thread think the number is stupidly high, you're completely right and even e-bay is wrong. You are also right about your 'Criminal Minds' learnt psychoanalysis is spot on. I clearly wasnt hugged enough by my mother. Thank you soooo much for showing me the error of my ways.


Now, please may I have your e-bay ID so I can block you and save myself a neg?

This thread on the whole seems to have run off the deep end , and become unhelpful, and nasty..........
BUT this post from baffcat my advice to you OP: take note save yourself some unnecessary anguish. It'll make your ebay buying experience much more fulfilling.



apologies if my grammar, punctuation (or lack thereof) or use of English offends. An ebay seller and buyer

Well, how about you try to read and understand the numbers before you argue? It's not a good idea to have all these arguments with people when you can't be bothered to understand what's going on.[/QUOT

Excuse me? On the contrary, I seem to be the only one who's actually paid attention to the numbers! :rotfl: Arguments? No, just pointing some things out.
