I left negative feedback ( twice now ) but the feedback has gone. It does not appear on my feedback

I bought from a 'trusted' seller, and could not leave negative feedback for several days. When I did, the feedback shows as given on the item - but the actual feedback does not show in my list, and the seller also does not show the feedback.

It looks like the transaction never happened!

We rely on the feedback to identify poor sellers, if there is a mechanism to make negative feedback dissappear then this breaks the model that we rely on!

Can't believe some of the feedback you have left! I'm not surprised they were removed...

leaving neg feedback for a seller because you never received items in time for your party...was that really the sellers fault? Once posted it is in the hands of the courier.....OR was it your fault for when ordering not allowing enough time ( or seeing sellers handling time) for delivery before the party...

I'm sure most members would not rely on that sort of feedback to ascertain if they dealt with the seller or not...on the contrary, they would probably add your ID to their BB list !

BTW.. you cannot leave feedback for business sellers until 7 days have lapsed...you are supposed to contact the seller to give them the opportunity to work something out

you rely on feedback to identify poor sellers, sellers rely on manners....

Very specifically ( for your party comment ) I confirmed that they had stock in hand in the uk and that the delivery would be within 3 days with the sellers, and received confirmation of that. On that basis I payed for the items. When they arrived they were not from inside the UK as advertised, they were sent from overseas, and were a week late. So - according you your standards I have to be nice and polite and thank the seller?

The time spent communicating with the seller to confirm that they would send immediately and that they were from the UK ( as there are currently many people misrepresenting themselves for a sale ) and then find out you were lied to.

As for those that advertise products, get payment for the item, then say 'sorry we dont have stock, we will send it in 6 weeks time' - They deserve to be banned. They were the cause of me ordering and confirming with the seller in advance of making the purchase!

Ebay is starting to get a bad name as con artist sellers get protection by Ebay.
