Hi folks,


I bought a small item on ebay at a good price and just got an email to say its been displatched with the following added,


Once your item arrives in satisfactory condition, we would very much appreciatesome feedback, which we will gladly reciprocate. Our software programme is auto leaving good feedback once if receiving one from buyers.If there are any problems with the item, please contact us via eBay Message Channel before giving negative or neutral feedback. Most problems can be sorted out amicably. However, as a member of Powersellers Union, we auto add buyers (those who give negative feedbacks) into blacklist.********Please use eBay Message channel for any further communication.********Many thanks and best wishes, Yours sincerely,atcwave

lol that made me chuckle but from a sellers point of view it can be annoying when a buyer leaves a neg without communicating.

I bet that's a long list they have. I wonder if they strike when eBay hike fees and the like....

If your a Powerseller, the link to the website in on the forum & your Black / Block list on eBay is available on http://offer.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?BidderBlockLogin

Doesn't that qualify for feedback extortion, I would raise it with eBay.

Aren't you a member of the PowerBuyers Union ? I am, and always blacklist sellers who are members of the Powersellers Union. Make sure you let him/her know!

Not to rain on your parade but when i was a powerseller they exchanged details of bad buyers and we all added them to our blocked list.

There is so way of stopping friends who happen to be power sellers swapping details of buyers, but there is no formal mechanism to do so.

There are always sellers suggesting setting up websites as well to list bad buyers, but they rarely ever get off the ground .

Seller in the OP sounds a bit of an idiot

I'd give them a neg on principal, I would probably add the reason for doing so, be that I would rather be on their blacklist, than do business in that way.
