Ebay Rant...

I'm sorry, but has anybody else noticed an increase in stupid ebay members recently?! Especially when it comes to feedback!?
One guy left me neutral. I asked why as the item was sent out next day and received day after. He told me it's because I could've dropped the price. Excuse me. He BOUGHT it at that price. That's not my fault?!
Another person bought an item, BNWT and I didn't write in the listing the make of it (so many items up for sale, must've just missed it), but instead of the seller asking me (and I would have replied) they file a claim with ebay and leave me negative for not stating the make.
I could go on! It's just starting to peeve me. & i've only had a few hours sleep & am tired and need hugs.
Feel free to join in the ranting. It never used to be like this?!

there - 'in or at that place'
their - 'owned by them'
they're - 'they are'
it's bought not brought (i just bought my chicken a suit from that new shop for £6.34)0 -

I always leave a neutral unless the seller has done something especially good or especially bad- thats the whole point of feedback. If everybody leaves positives as standard how do you reward a seller who has made a transaction especially pleasant or easy?0

What's your id so I can add you to my BBL?
Seriously OP, don't let it get you down, I have 8 negs and 11000 positives but those 8 still annoy me.
Just make sure that if you add a reply to their feedback that you do so politely and factualy, this will make the other person look the villain! Nothing worse than someone responding with a load of abuse!0 -

On behalf of every seller on this board who works hard to provide a good service, may I be the first to call you an inconsiderate idiot.
Or a troll.<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -

It's annoying though that after replying, they can reply again and you can't. (Although I suppose it can go on forever!)
