My Block Buyer list keeps growing, and I was just thinking wouldnt it have been nice If there was list of bad ebayers so I could block them before I ever have to deal with them, People who dont pay, take two weeks to pay, always leave neg feedbacks, i wish i knew in advance
I told eBay I want a 'blocked sellers' list. That way when I do a search, I don't get their auctions in the results.
That's all the risk that goes along with conducting business transactions via the internet and auction venues, such as EBAY.
You might not have any buyers on ebay. I had one bad experience and he probably would have put me on one of these lists.
Oh, I wish this were available. I've been thinking about figuring out Firefox plugin development just so I can write something that'll weed out "Zack's", "theconsignmenthub", and all the rest of the "let's list 10,000 pieces of dreck and see if anything sticks" crowd.
I sold something last month, the buyer was a newwbie. After the auction he asked how long he had to pay. I told him 3 days. Never heard. I filed a complaint, and eBay "let" him terminate the transaction. And I couldn't file a complaint or neg against him as a non-paying bidder. It happened twice. Jerks.
Im a top rated power seller and Ive received very few badfeedbacks. Every negative feedback I get I have to do a lot of detective work to find out why. Ive had 2 buyers suspended for leaving negatives because I found they were either rival sellers trying to disrupt my business, or retaliation negatives because I left them negatives. 100% of all my bad feedbacks are unjust because I will do almost anything to make up for their dissatisfaction. 99% of all my negatives have 1 thing in common. They are from ebay newbies with less than 10 transactions! Of course there is no way to block new ebayers from buying from me or I would in a heartbeat. One more thing I noticed is that there are buyers on ebay who leave Everybody bad feedback! Yesterday for giggles I checked my badfeedbackers other feedbacks they left for others. Surprise!! they were disgruntled with nearly every transaction! Ebay does nothing to protect selllers from these hooligans. If you dont do your own detective work they will never get caught. It should bring up a red flag to ebay when a buyer leaves 10 people bad feedbacks and only 1 person a good. Perhaps he is trying to extort? Ebay should also either a) let me know if a buyer has more than 1 account, b) only allow 1 account per person, or c) Let me know that somebody I left a badfeedback for just bought something from me from his other account. Apparently this violates peoples rights ebay tells me.,but Im sick of doing all this detective work. If you receive a negative feedback that you know is unjust, do yourself a favor and find out why! It should bring up a red flag to you when buyers leave the negs without emailing you first. That means either they are new buyers, or rivals disrupting your business. If you offer them a full refund and free items and they refuse and still leave the neg,,,theres a hidden reason on why they left you the neg. find out why. Usually the extortion artists are waiting for the refunds and freebies and want you to "make things right".
I know what you mean. I just got a neg, cause is was damaged during shipping. If he would of emailed me I would of replaced it, or gave him a refund. He left me a negative, so quick. I will look into him.
I find that most people like that have something in their descriptions that is common to all or at least most of their descriptions. If you can find that check the box that says search descriptions and then at the end of your search strip skiptwo spaces and but a -and that common description and it will eliminate all the auctions with that in them. For example if that one guy has his name theconsignmenthub in all his descriptions you put -theconsignmenthub and those actions will not appear. You can also use that to eliminate multiple sellers -theconsignmenthub -zacks Would get rid of both of those IF they have that bit of text in their descriptions.
I have also met some awful sellers too. I paid for one of my items with a credit card then after about 3 weeks he refused to send my coins. I protested to paypal about it and still, to this date, have not received my coin or my refund from paypal. So, I say there's ugliness on both sides. dlh
Problem is, I like to do wide-open searches -- specifically, most-recent Buy It Nows in US Coins to look for the bargains that get snatched up in minutes. You can't do exclusions ("-term") without at least one actual search term, and any search term I pick is likely to weed out the very auctions I can be quick enough to snag. (If "silver" appears in the title or description, it'll get snagged within a minute; if they leave out that little detail, it can sit for quite a while before someone notices it.) But when "Zack's" (29957blue) is spamming hundreds of listings per minute, it's probably worthwhile to pick a nice, general search term and then use exclusion to get rid of them.
