    A well worded, factual and polite reply to the neg on your feedback page, and a similar follow-up comment on their page, will show other members the truth.

    Walk away wearing a neg from an idiot like a badge of pride, safe in the knowledge that you have risen above them. Remember, never argue with a fool, they will drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

    It is possible to have them removed, first try Filing for a Mutual Feedback Withdrawal & then if that doesn't work report it to eBay for removal.

    If all fails you can pay Squaretrade £10 to have it removed

  • And ebay's removal system are crap. I can have a neg removed if it mentions a Paypal dispute but not if it's damaging to my character, how does that work?

    People will see it was from a fool. They will look accross vast fields of your positive feedback and see one silly neg. Dont worry about it mate :)

    You have to laugh when you look at some of her feedback... Looks like she has bought an item of clothing and left neutral feedback, stating:

    "Item arrived obviously not size on label"

    The seller has then replied by way of a negative feedback stating:

    "You paid 10p yes 10p for a designer label clearly size 6 what a stupid remark!!"

    To which the buyer again follows up with:

    "may have said six it was not a six and paid £5 postage yes £5"

    Oh, don't you just love 'em! This has made my day.

    I brought a telephone off ebay last year. I was only about £5 so no great deal.

    However after 3 weeks it didn't turn up, I had no response from the seller, but he gave me a refund, saying it wasn't in stock.

    Well I was annoyed, but I didn't leave negative feedback. I left a neutral saying no product, but refund given. I figured I couldn't give a positive as I never recieved the item and the communication was dire.

    And then later that day he left me a negative - saying "Buyer was refunded after stock error but left neutral Why?"

    So of course I responded in kind - and said something like "seller shouldn't offer goods for sale that are not avaliable, neg unfair" - or something to those words.

    I wouldn't have minded a neutral, but since then I've started trading as a business seller, although I don't sell much, but it's still put my 100% feedback down to 99.6%, so I completely understand how frustrating it is when people leave you feed back the is completely uncalled for!

    My mum has just left a neutral for a buyer, who took a dispute and 4 weeks to pay - then paid by e-cheque.

    Strangely enough the buyer has left her a neg for being "damaged in transit", even though the e-cheque has not cleared yet, and the goods are still sat in her house...

    Some people eh? eBay could do without them.
