English isn't my main language, or my second or third for that matter....but it is about understanding.

I don't understand your OP fully and my English is good.

I was suggesting that perhaps, as a third language for you, you may not be understanding the seller in each of your unfortunate purchase experiences.

That is hardly the sellers fault.

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

I've seen far worse English on here. OP's English isn't perfect but I understand it fine. I know people read things differently and whether English is your first language or not peoples understanding of posts varies but still.

Sellers are allowed 2%. Maybe same standards for buyers would make em think twice before trashing peoples accounts.

We've all had difficult buyers out to scam us. But when that buyer is also a seller, and should know better - its leave an even sourer taste.

I see. Perhaps but there would also be a lot of buyers limited or banned on simple misunderstandings or lack of knowledge on the rating system. No excuse really, buyers should know how it all works before using the site but the reality is that not everyone does. Even those who sell too don't always have a clue.

I think ebay needs to give an IQ test, basic English test and an example interactive tutorial on the feedback system for all members before they're allowed to join.

Because you might be ruining other sellers' business, that's why. You buy 600 items per month and give around 88 neutral or negative. And that's still not high enough for eBay!!

if they deserve it why not ?? i leave 522 positives too

Well forgive me for picking at your English, but this being the exact point I made above, I now rest my case.

I am very sorry but whilst you may be able to speak English correctly and without issue often writing it is completely different. Punctuation makes a HUGE difference to a sentence.

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.

The above said I also find the current nature of messages sent in text speak incrediably rude and frustrating as well as the 'hun' or 'chick' thing.

I believe that 14.7% is a ridiculous amount of negs/neutrals as well as the cases that you have opened and may not have left any feedback for and shows that drop shipping (which is what you are in essence doing) often doesn't work.

Whilst you may feel that such a high rate of poor purchases is acceptable I am glad that eBay are finally taking notice and doing something about it just like Amazon do because it really isn't acceptable. As others have said I have purchased 1,000's of items of eBay in the last 8 years and have only ever left 2 negs and opened 1 case and I think that this kind of rate is 'normal'.

I try to be a nice person, but I do hope you get kicked off eBay. And enough with the smugness already

You don't have any point at all, my thread explains a certain situation while you are here to spit out your pathetic thoughts,it will be great if you crawl back under your rock

For one last time.

My point was that YOU may be misunderstanding the listing or the seller. As YOUR English is NOT as CLEAR as you think.

It wasn't to pick you up on your grammar, but to highlight you are not clear and may not read things clearly.

If you don't understand that point, then mine is very valid. :T

I'm not the one who needs help here.....so throw your insults, but I will still have my eBay account.....!

I'm not sure about the maximum as the guy did not mention it but i guess it is around %30 because he said it must not exceed the 1/3 of the overall feedback left

I understand it is very unfair to leave bad feedbacks for fun, but it is unfair too to remove honest feedbacks that may warn others about a seller's behaviour especially when it comes to asking more than the winning bid or scamming people by taking the money and sending nothing at all !

30% is a lot.

I know, I wasn't saying you did that or anything, just that buyers could potentially get away with a lot.

I agree to a point about removing the feedback. I think there should be a warning first so buyers can see the problem and try and resolve it. They do need to make sure that bad buyers don't get away with leaving large amounts of bad feedback though, but at least you can appeal the decision.

I understand your point, but i do have a lot of other commitments , all my items are shipped abroad and therefore should respect a deadline, which thanks God the majority arrived even before time, but there is also too many items that are still not sent or arrived faulty and must be returned as they are not suitable for resale , I kept a few times some items where there is defects that are easily repaired even though this is not my mistake and following the DSR i have the right to return them and get a full refund but i like to save on the headache , I appreciate your opinion and that you try your best to let everything run smoothly but I'm so thankful to those who left a negatives to other sellers on ebay because i'm sure they did not do it for fun unless they are Sick, but it's a good way of reviewing the experiences and i've stopped myself many times from buying from sellers with over 4 negs as i don't want to waste my time especially if the SAME problem happens with over 2 buyers.

Ok, going on the whole English thing - the lack of full stops and a block of text does make this harder to understand lol.

Anyway, other commitments are no excuse. If that's the case you're maybe buying more than you can handle. Either way that is not the sellers problem so it's unfair to neg them because you have other commitments. They don't know that.

The feedback system is there for a reason. To show who you can trust to buy from. However, there are times when mistakes are made and corrected or the outcome is that you have a refund and the seller has the item back so you're no worse off.

Some sellers deserve a negative for the transactions and buyers should be warned. For others, it's just one of them things and there's no real need to give a negative (especially if others have already left negatives). It's just a case of deciding whether it really was that big of a deal and whether buyers really need to be warned or whether it's one to just forget about.

It's easy to find faults in things and leave negative feedback, but each time you do it is affecting someones business. Not every transaction will go perfectly but that doesn't mean it's that bad.

OK, I will now ask politely to pick a sentence in this thread where i made a mistake either on grammar or punctuation , and please prove that this mistake made a HUGE difference to the sentence.

waiting for your reply

Thanks
