Negative feedback

A buyer won a listing I was selling but didn't pay.  I messaged them and they said the postage was too high, I said if they weren't willing to pay I could cancel the listing.  They never replied, but paid £1.20 for the item (yes, £1.20) and selected collection in person.  I live on North Yorkshire and they live in the South of the country so I knew collection was unlikely!  However, I still messaged them to arrange collection and again, no reply.

 


I opened a case with eBay, followed the guidance and refunded their money.  I haven't sold anything for some time and have just gone to list some items and noticed my feedback is now at 95%.  It appears that although I did everything correctly, was totally not in the wrong and opened a case with eBay, the buyer was still able to leave me negative feedback?!🤷‍♂️

My first negative feedback, dropping me from 100% to 95%.  This has really annoyed me!  What can I do if anything??

 

Thanks,

Andy.

Never a good idea to cancel for non payers and the Negative may be too old to take any action but your excellent response should reassure future buyers ... for information >

 

See the new eBay Auto open, actioned  and Auto close > Unpaid/Late payers/Cancel case process which can closed after 5 days to recover selling fees unless Sellers have set their Preferences to handle cases manually >
