It also depends why they've received the negative feedback. I always review their feedback first & determine if it was appropriate. If it's in regards to shipping, i shy away, i have however seen sellers with excellent shipping history with negative feedback -a result of the buyer not reading the details: leaving a negative reply because they got a medium size shirt, when the auction clearly stated it was a small etc.
All the best, i hope it gets sorted for you asap.
this particular seller that i have put a case with ebay has been getting positive feedback for other items that he/she recently acquired at the sdcc 2013 convention, hence i am very puzzled as to why I have not gotten any communication from the seller - I did read and re-read and re-read the description and there is international shipping provided..... i just want the seller to respond to me that is all... anyway it is in the hands of ebay now so fingers crossed, seller will respond as it is a ebay prompt and not a buyer's prompt....
decided to jump onto an alternative seller on ebay and yes did read and re-read the description and international shipping is provided - Global Shipping Program (some sort of 3rd party arrangement by ebay and courier)
So i am really puzzled as to why ebay sellers are not responsive on their communication at all....
fingers crossed![]()
how do you search ebay for store names?
To clarify, I was going by nexusnixx's description, that he "had 2 neg feedback" and assumed that he meant 2 neg feedback only, not 2 neg feedback amongst 100+ positives. If the latter was the case, of course I would take all feedback into consideration.
On your main search page or Summary page, click on "Advanced" to the left of the big blue Search button, at the top right hand side of your page.
Look for the Stores heading on the left hand side menu under "Advanced Search".
Click on Find Stores.
update:
2nd ebay auction for the SDCC 2013 Metroplex seller has reverted to me and he/ she will be posting out the item.... so its fingers crossed for the long journey here to Perth, Australia
1st ebay auction for SDCC 2013 Metroplex - issue has been escalated to a dispute claim and ebay will only look at it on the 6 August for seller to respond... if not... hopefully the money will be refunded with ease...
I've been buying a bit on eBay as of late. Normally I only buy from sellers with thousands of positive feedbacks left but I have bought from a couple of newer sellers.
The established big guys are normally prompt to post, give tracking numbers and say to let them know if there are any problems. The little guys seem to take their time posting, don't always give tracking and I never hear anything from them. On top of that I had a guy over charge me on postage by 50%.
I think of eBay as a minefield but if you stick to the big sellers with 99% or better positive feedback you minimize the risk.
Update
2nd seller has posted the item and provided the tracking number.
1st seller has not responded to eBay claim yet and given 5 August to revert if not claim will be refunded to me. Which is good as usd has strengthen against aud so might get more back.
Update
1st seller never responded to eBay enquiry and eBay had refunded the money after 10 calendar days from the date of claim being escalated to a dispute.
Left a very negative feedback on the seller.
