    They used to leave mainly good feedback with the occasional problem but appear to have stopped leaving good feedback. Still, even if that's the case the bad feedback is way over the top, one comment removed by eBay and a couple in a row for Musicmagpie who are a good company and don't combine shipping so they are almost certainly separate orders.

    Yeah, they appear to have jumped on the 'freebay' bandwagon.

    There ought to be a sticky thread at the top of the page like this, warning sellers of dodgy buyers.

    It was always policy on this board not to allow naming and shaming, but I can't seem to find the policy now. Generally as well naming and shaming can be used maliciously to harm someone for many reasons, not connected with ebay.

    I think I've been quoted but part misunderstood. My point is that when people stop leaving positives (or any feedback at all for good transactions) all it leaves is a sea of reds. I didn't mean that they leave negs for everything, because you can clearly see the purchasing totals have drastically reduced.

    I have had two false INR claims in the last 6 months, both of which I successfully defended thanks to the QR-code tracking/reference number - both times, eBay checked the information I gave them which showed that the item had been delivered and accepted it....it helped that one of the buyers actually admitted she had the item whilst still trying to claim otherwise. When an item has been left at a sorting office or with a neighbour, the tracking DOES reflect this, so I am happy to assume that both buyers did receive their items...had it shown otherwise, I would have clearly chased it up with the sorting office.
  • My friend sold something and buyer claimed INR and she had to refund. A month or so later the buyer listed the exact same item for sale!
    If you were going to do that would you not at least create a new account?

    beware recorded signed for and special delivery labels do not always adhere. i use paypal labels which print the exact address, the barcode and hide the cost. if the royal mail barcode label comes off the delivery post man and collection office do not get a signature. a savvy buyer will raise an INR. a savvy seller will raise a not delivered lost in the postal system. if you use royal mail barcode labels put a bit of sellotape on the top edge
