Hi everyone.
I was selling an item on ebay.com.au a few weeks ago. In my ad I clearly said that it is a private sale and I have one item only. I sold it when I got a reasonable offer.
Unfortunately one of the buyers which made an offer to me (and I never accepted it as it was too low) left a negative feedback on my account. He accused me of selling an item via another Web site.
It was not true. I had my ad on another Web site, but I sold the item via Ebay and Ebay charged me a fee for that. I asked Ebay to remove the negative feedback/vote, but they refused. They said I need to follow up with a person who left a negative vote. I did it but got no response. Ebay said that I need strong grounds to get the negative feedback removed, e.g. court order. I am not going to waste my time, money and efforts to get a court order, cause it is just not worthwhile.
Does anyone know how I can fix this problem ? Thanks.
Chalk it up as a scummy lowballer. They exist and it's annoying when you learn that. That negger just has a sense of entitlement.
Maybe name and shame them so we also know not to deal with them.
Edit: I'm surprised someone can leave feedback when they haven't even purchased from you but made an offer. That's a stupid loophole that needs to be closed, until then, 'Make An Offer' option won't be used to much, I rarely see it.
