Ebay and Feedback

Feedback is Imprortant

I love to buy and sell on EBay. It is the worldwide marketplace and is not going anywhere. I have been buying and selling on EBay for over 8 years. I have nearly 650 positive feedback and was at 100% positive. I have been selling quite a bit recently. Many of the items I was selling was hit with a negative. The buyer did not contact me to try to resolve the issue and just left a negative. I tried to contact him and responded to the negative feedback and he responded with another nasty comment. I checked his feedback and he had been an EBay member for less than a year and had 6 negatives to his credit. Feedback is a very important part of EBay. It helps to reward those who are good. You can tell a lot about a person and how they handle EBay as well as possibly forsee if you are going to have a good or bad experience. A lot of negative feedback can affect how much a seller sells or if buyers will be allowed to buy. I read feedbacks sometimes just for fun. I see many times where a seller retaliates against another member when they are left a bad feedback. I also see where sellers are left negative feedback without any attempt to alleviate whatever the problem may have been as was the case in my situation. The buyer sais I did not describe the item properly. He said there were coffee stains on the comic book. In the description I said the book had water damage(which it was). He thought it was coffee stains and not water damage and therefore damaged 8 years worth of perfect feedback. I would have given him a refund had he asked. To boot in this example, I listed that I did not ship out of the US. He bid and lives outside of the US. I still agreed to send the 4 comics to him which he paid a total of 4$ for. For that effort I had my feedback tarnished because he believed water damage was a coffee stain. Feedback is extremely important to Ebay if used properly. I guess now that I do not have to focus on maintaining 100% feedback I can focus on being an even better seller. So many times I see feedback used as a weapon and that was not what it was designed for. This particular buyer who awarded me with a negative without contacting me first has been blocked from any of my auctions if he comes across anything he may want in the future that I am offering,will not get it. I envisioned in my mind the comic store clerk on the Simpsons and am probably right on target. I will survive but my feedback will forever be tarnished by one person who did not use feedback properly
