In my personal experience Power Sellers often manipulate the bid by pretending to be a different bidder and raising the price of the item (even to the point of winning the item themselves and offering you a second chance). Once you get the item, they usually deliver poor customer service, taking two to three days just to reply to a single message, not posting the item out until the end of the working week (what's the point of paying extra for express postage when the seller takes a or two week just to post the item?), provide no packaging, etc. (this is all with immediate payment btw). Even if they do all this I would still leave them a positive feedback.

    But when they misrepresent the item they're selling (e.g. this one time I purchased a Transformer Movie Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz, it took three weeks to be delivered, I paid for express postage btw, when it finally arrived I found a Fast-Action Battler Aubot Jazz). Let me clarify, the item was called "Transformers Movie Deluxe Class Action Autobot Jazz", the description repeated used the words "deluxe class", the words "fast-action battler" was not used once, and the pictures where of the Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz. When I talked with the seller, he said that the word "action" was used in the title, and I was in complete disbelief. Despite branding the words "deluxe class" throughout the item's description and depicting images of the Deluxe Class Autobot Jazz, he justified himself by saying that he used the word "action" once in the title. I was forced to give him a positive feedback despite all this in fear of getting a negative feedback from him.
    That's a freakin' terrible story. I would slap the f---er out for u if I met him. What an absolute @r$e

    We were talking so much about this ebay thingie as a buyer... i'm sure it'll work out well.

    What if we're the seller? I recently had a buyer who bought but didn't pay for an item. Now i can't leave him a -ve feedback. I'm classifying him as a joybidder. Doesn't this system actually disadvantage the sellers?

    can't you discredit him and ask ebay to give him 1 strike.
    once he receives 3 strikes for such actions, he'll be "banned" from ebay
    so you're not in the losing end either...but yes, the system kind of sucks but it's been benefiting me as a buyer now

    As I have previously stated in the discussion, I think eBay messed this one up. The problem was sellers holding buyers to ransom. Now the opposite is true.

    Since the buyer's duty is essentially complete at the moment of payment, the better way to solve the issue of buyers being afraid of retaliatory feedback would be to activate buyers leaving feedback only once they have received feedback first. That way, the buyer - once their end of the transaction is completed - is credited with fulfilling their obligation, and the seller has to come through, since their obligation is to deliver the goods.

    Yes, there will always be moron buyers who are impatient or who don't read the description properly, but if you check a seller's feedback, you can usually spot them.

    Why would someone Win an Auction/BIN an item if they honestly had no intention of ever paying for it?

    Don't saps like that have better things to do with their time?
