The one who left me bad feedback was from America too.

I personally avoid those who hide their feedback. If they hide it then they obviously have something to hide. We were selling a car and we had a member who bidded on it. about 30mins before the auction was due to end he sent us a message saying he had bidded on the wrong item, and could we react the bid. At the time I didn't know how to and so I just waited.


When the auction finished there was no more bids and his was the winning bid. I sent via ebay a non payment which if he had clicked on that he had agreed not to purchase the item we would of been reimburesed with our losses (about £30) but because the prat clicked on he had agreed to purchase the item we are now out of pocket of £30. ebay say that there is nothing they can do.


Apparently he did it again with somebody else and no his feedback is private.

I was watching three shirts this week - only Topman and Next, nothing designer - and they went from £7 to £15!!! I was stunned. All three are still in the shops as far as I know; you could probably buy them for less new in the sales!
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Good news on this - eBay have just announced they are restricting the use of private feedback. From now on you cannot list items for sale if you keep your feedback private (although you can still bid on auctions). I personally think the option should be removed altogether, but this is better than nothing.

I see a lot of stuff go for good prices but then wonder if the winner pays up. Lately when any of my stuff goes for a good price the winner will wait a few days then tell me they bid by mistake.
