One for the Blocked Bidder List!!

One seller has now taken 5 negs from a blackmailing buyer despite being able to prove items were delivered - http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=iposters&iid=-1&de=off&items=25&which=negative&interval=30

Nice move putting the tracking details as a follow-up to the feedback!

5 negs on the same day count as 1. If you really want to do damage just space them out every 8 days!

They have to come from transactions made one week apart to have full effect, rather than be left a week apart from the same multiple purchase to affect the feedback score.

However, when it comes to measuring Seller Non Performance, it is the overall number of negs, neutrals, low DSR and Item Not Received disputes that count - so those above would count as 5 individual points. Luckily that seller has the volume to absorb it, but a low volume seller would not fare so well.

Not as drastic as some, but this one's on my blocked bidder list -

I've a DSR of 4.7 for postage charges, fortunately he's in the minority

Thanks Chriscar.....added to my blocked bidder list.

That guy has a major issue with postage doesnt he....why bother bidding then??? £1.95 for a DVD sent first class is hardly fee evasion?

£1.95 for a DVD is around 3 times the stamp cost so I think a lot of sellers would be looking to reduce that a bit to protect their stars. It could be worse though, he could be leaving negs...

I sold over 10,000 dvd's last year with P&P at £2 per disc, and my P&P rating never dropped below 4.7, spendingmost of the year on 4.8. It's pretty much the average price for DVD postage, and has been for some time - boxsets tend to go for £3.50 for a double or triple, anything bigger and £5 is ballpark.

The overwhelming majority of buyers in the DVD category are happy to pay £2.I dropped my P&P to £1 for a month, and it did not make a difference to the quantity I sold, or my DSR rating, so all I was doing was reducing my margin.

One item a dvd postage was 1.50 but he says too dear another dvd postage 1.99 and he says good all round I dont think he knows his A*** from his elbow

We now have an Australian vigilante buyer - they have private feedback so you can not see what they have been leaving, but a quick check of the items they've bid on, followed by checking the sellers feedback shows a disturbing trend.

It's far too easy to set up a second account to deliberately sabotage listings. There is no buyer verification whatsoever on ebay, and given that sellers' livelihoods may depend on the feedback they receive, it is ludicrous that eBay will allow an unverified person destroy an established sellers career.

Sorry but spotting problems is not my forte could you explain what is happening I have clicked on th elinks but not sure what im looking for?
