    that you will have no alternative but to leave bad feedback
    As a seller, I would never reciprocate favours to a buyer who made threats to damage my reputation.

    If they are currently still selling the same item you bought, but claiming they also have none in stock why not just reply querying why this is and that you will have no alternative but to leave bad feedback if they do not honour your purchase with the stock they have?

    This is a very bad idea, any good seller would easily be able to get that feedback removed as it could easily be argued to be feedback extortion.

    I was reading that Ebay Australia is banning drop shipping, especially from Amazon. Not sure how this could be enforced without having buyers report sellers. If it came over to UK would scupper a few sellers.

    Its such as shame dropshipping isn't banned on eBay as a whole, I'm sick of pandering to their requests of no invoice / no paperwork.

    Last time we ignored their requests & put the invoice & all our advertising in the parcel & gained a new customer.
