I just received my second negative this morning.... it was the only communication I have had from the "buyer" in 5 weeks.... I cried over the first one, I have taken this one in stride wrote him a you p--- me off note (you have to vent!) then typed out 3 more auctions

You have my sympathies!

And I wish Ebay instructed new users in how to leave feedback--and when and why. I keep getting e-mails from buyers that the item I shipped has arrived, they're happy with it, and they'd like to leave feedback but don't know how. I tell them--but why doesn't Ebay, instead?!

Thanks Road I have almost 1000+ feedbacks now since 1996. My reply to his negative was look at my feedback, look at his. He has been a member for 3 months and has 3 negs already. 2 as a seller! He didn't write to me even when I wrote and said just write and tell me to relist and we will call it ok! But he sure did reply to the neg in a hurry! He said he sent a MO I said send me a copy of the receipt and I will retract the negative... it will be a cold day in Hell before that happens... life does indeed roll right along. Bums me out... I go out of my way to be careful and nice and do a good job...OH WELL...Happy Holidays everyone!

I hope that you didn't leave him feedback. You can go in give him a neg and he'll most likely get NARU'd

doesn't matter if they gave a neg or not, if they did not pay, file for fees, and if that is the 3rd time, they are gone. I've gotten a lot of satisfaction for having buyers NARU'd

I also just received a neg from a non-paying bidder. She negged me even I could neg her! She stated that Seller doesn't take paypal..she sent check..yada yada! I DID just give her her first strike. There should be a rule that if the auction is never completed any feedback a buyer leaves should be removed..no transaction..no feedback left by buyer.

OK..... ONE DAY LATER I NEGED HIM AND OF COURSE HE NEGED ME BACK! AT LEAST I KNEW HE WAS ALIVE!!!
TODAY I GO TO PAYPAL AND GUESS WHAT HE SENT ME A PAYMENT! THIS AFTER SAYING IN HIS NEG THAT HE HAD SENT ME A M.O. THIS IS ALOT OF ENERGY FOR A $13 SALE!!!!!!

NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE IF I ACCEPT THE PAYMENT, SEND IT BACK, SEND HIM THE C+S,TRY TO WORK OUT A MUTUAL RETRACTION.

I THINK MY NEG REPLY STATING "LOOK AT HIS 16 FEEDBACKS 3 OF WHICH ARE NEGATIVE AND LOOK AT MINE" PUSHED HIM INTO HAVING A CHANGE OF HEART! AM I A SAP?
