https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Business-Seller-Board/Removal-of-feedback-ratings/m-p/7928705#M338303 <P>I am completely on your side in regards to private sellers being forced to register as businesses, just because it was deemed they were, without any actual evidence.</P><P>But that is off topic.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>You also don’t have to explain / give example of bad buyers. I’ve seen them myself over the years. And even if I hadn’t, reading these forums provides enough examples.</P><P>But this is a slightly separate issue. Again, you only have to look at some topics on here to see examples of cases where eBay have clearly got feedback removal cases wrong (and that’s on both sides – not removing it when they should have really, and removing it when they shouldn’t).</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I think the message you received (“any Feedback left for the transaction will be removed”) was misleading, and has caused the confusion in this topic. My point was that eBay should not have promised to remove feedback for the transaction, just because their returns procedure was used. And I don’t think it was intended to be that way.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Based on what you have said, it does sound like they were a difficult buyer, and so any negative feedback was unjust. But that is something that all sellers (private or business) face. And I can’t see any easy solution.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>If you want to sell online then you have to have thick skin. That is becoming more necessary as more power is going to buyers (and more parcels are being delayed, or lost or damaged in transit).</P> Mon, 15 Sep 2025 17:04:51 GMT go_ahead_buy_me 2025-09-15T17:04:51Z
