Seller protection

[1057jeremy]

Anyone know when ebay is going to start offering sellers as much protection as buyers, who they bend over backwards for?

Had 3 unpaids in the last week and there's nothing you can do as a seller other than get your fees back as ebay no longer allows you to leave negative feedback even when it's 100% warranted.

At the moment, they know they can just ride rough-shod over the whole system.

And if you do the decent thing and try to warn others via what ebay calls 'positive-negative' feedback, ebay tells you off.

It's become a very lop-sided system unfortunately

Of course it isn't. When you complete an Unpaid Case NO FEEDBACK can be left. Why you would want to leave Positive Feedback I cannot think, do you find not being paid a Positive Experience?

Think about it, how are sellers expected to read Warning Feedback. BINS, the seller only knows the buyer AFTER they have bought. With auctions  bids place close to the end leave no time at all for seller to delete if they wanted to. 

So much for warnings, they don't work, but can get the seller a policy violation if they are silly enough to leave Negative comment on Positive FB.

Have you never Blocked a Non Payer, or set your Buyer Preferences to block members with 2 or more unpaid strikes.  Works very well  if you use it.

Thank you.

No, of course I don't find not being paid a positive experience, but your natural instinct is to want to try and tell other sellers that this buyer is a wrong 'un 🙂

Have strengthened my buyer preference settings to try and reduce the risk, so many thanks for that advice.
