eBay sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers!

[STL]

Was the toy scuffed or its packaging?

The box. The toy I haven't gotten around to inspecting yet. And probably won't be for a while since I have other priorities. *Looks at Superlink Bruticus.*

What was ur problem Ice? I say leave negative. Seems she screwed other people too and just wanting to play the oh I didn't no card.

That's right. We discussed this.

I certainly like having nice packaging, but I think if the quality of packaging is not mentioned, the buyer should not make assumptions. Specifically, I interpret you as saying that anyone selling that item should be collector-aware and should have informed you about the box. You didn't ask and shouldn't assume. Had you asked about the box quality, the seller would have had the opportunity to say that it wasn't that flash. They never had that opportunity. I personally don't think they deserve negative (or neutral) feedback based on the un-discussed box.

From the item description:

"Box in almost perfect condition, car still has ties attached to plastic caseing."

That's why I take issue with it. I agree w/ you. If I'd had no description I'd have assumed the risk (but generally I would've asked if it was vague). The box is in anything but near perfect condition with scratches on the plastic, dents and scuffs on the corner.

My bad. I say give him a negative, i.e.:

Seller described packaging as "almost perfect condition" when it was scratched, dented and scuffed.

I recently bought an ultra magnus (not reissue) and some sparkbots/firecons

the ultra magnus has lots of chrome wear and the right smokestack was broken.
you can hardly see it in the pictures and seller has not made the effort to mention it in the description. moreover, the title says 105% complete. without me checking properly, i won the bid and later realised its only 95% complete. it's missing 1 missile and 1 cab connector.

with the sparkbots/firecons, there's lots of rusty screws. well, i agree the toy is old but she can afford to say those in her description first or take pics that best show what the toy condition is. there's also no spark left with the bots and i do agree with seller that it's an old toy too. it's my bad for not asking and trusting the seller.

moreover, she thought i was trying to scam her cos borge also suggested to combine postage for his Kup but she was too slow at it and ended up not doing it.... so what's the call???

Have you approached her with your thoughts? What was her reaction? I think the seller's reaction to your problem is the biggest indicator on what kind of feedback you should leave.

I bought a Classics Starscream that was described as mint, as new, transformed once. When I got it, the right arm was so lose, it would just flap down to his side. I complained stating that it was not "mint". He said that was very surprised and offered me a refund. Because of that, I gave him positive feedback.

I left my first negative feedback about two weeks ago.

The item never arrived although I'm sure the seller sent it as he has over 1700 positives and previously not one negative. I believe he may have sent it to the wrong address or it got lost in the mail but I discussed it with him first through a number of emails.
He was not willing to offer a refund which is his perogative.
I felt that paying money for nothing was a negative experience so I left negative feedback...which is my perogative.

I did feel somewhat guilty as I spoilt his previously perfect feedback but what else could I have done?

[iceburn]

i gave her my thoughts and she accused me stating i'm trying to scam her...maybe i shld just give the negative or a neutral

[edit] i've replied her also after closing the dispute that we (borge and i) are legitimate TF collectors and have no reason to scam her for combining postage. no replies from her then...

it's so mind boggling when i see others giving her the negatives/netural remarks. i really felt like emailing her and saying to her that.."see, you deserve it. looks like you're the one scamming us buyers"

It's simple - She described one thing, & The condition was completely different (You can't blame the various Postal Organisations for that).

You've already told her about it so... If you're in a good mood, leave a neutral. If it's sh#tting you, leave a negative.
