<p>[QUOTE=&quot;adric22, post: 1594487, member: 38146&quot;]I sell hundreds of items on eBay and my feedback is 100%.&nbsp; But I can tell you it is very difficult to maintain that 100% because there are lots of morons out there who will leave negative feedback for very stupid reasons.&nbsp; I&#039;ve come very close to receiving some myself from unhappy buyers.&nbsp; For example, I sell mostly laptop computers.&nbsp; Sometimes I sell them with known problems.&nbsp; I am very specific about those problems in the listing ad.&nbsp; I don&#039;t try to hide it either. I usually put it very first thing in the ad with bold letters.&nbsp; Then I sell it very cheap just to move it out of my inventory.&nbsp; People buy them, then call me up saying the laptop has such and such problem.&nbsp; I explain that this was clearly stated in the ad (which they apparently didn&#039;t bother to read) and also mention that it was also sold as-is without warranty.&nbsp; Then they demand a refund and threaten to leave me negative feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have had other weird issues.&nbsp; Like one buy bought a laptop and requested that I not ship it because he lived in town and wanted to pick it up.&nbsp; So I sent him an email back saying it was ready for pickup whenever he wanted.&nbsp; I gave him my phone number and address.&nbsp; I sent him an email every day for a week to remind him to come pick it up.&nbsp; He never showed up.&nbsp; Then suddenly I get an email from paypal saying a case has been opened against me claiming I did not deliver the product, demanding a refund.&nbsp; I called my paypal representative and explained the issue.&nbsp; So they called the customer and the customer told them that he really just changed his mind and decided he didn&#039;t want it anymore.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, they still told me I&#039;d be better off just giving him a refund because he can make all kinds of claims to eBay or Paypal that I misrepresented the item, etc.&nbsp; In the end, they always side with the buyer.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I guess my point is.. When I see feedback rating of 98% or better, I&#039;m still plenty happy to buy from them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Because I know there are a lot of idiots and jerkwads out there and it is really difficult to prevent somebody from dinging you with bad feedback for things that are often not your fault.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
