<p>[QUOTE="bmac_228, post: 513535, member: 16995"]I'm sure you are already aware, and maybe this isn't your motivation, but seller's are not allowed to leave negative feedback on buyers so if you are hesitant about leaving negative feedback in fear of "retaliation", fear no more. I've been on ebay since 99, both buying and selling and have used paypal religiously to purchase and accept payments from buyers. I've had to file a few complaints as a buyer, and have always had success with the result of that complaint. Here within the last 6 months I was selling off my football card collection on ebay and had a group of 52 Bowman cards in what I considered to be a certain condition. The buyer recieved the cards and threw an absolute fit saying I was lying. I have 100 percent positive feedback on the hundreds to thousands of cards I've sold over the years, never one complaint about my grading. I encouraged him to file a dispute with paypal and I am the one who escalated it to a claim, certain the outcome would once again be in my favor, this guy seemed like a lunatic! I recieved several harrassing emails from him during this time, all of which were forwarded on to paypal, I even called paypal and spoke with a rep about the situation. It was during this time I realized that the buyer was also a seller on ebay and his overall volume of business far exceeded mine. Two days later I find out that paypal sided with the buyer, soley on his word regarding the condition of the cards. I relisted the cards and the next buyer had no complaints whatsoever. The point of that is I'm firmly convinced that paypal, owned by ebay, takes into account who is making them the most money versus the truth. I'm an occassional seller, this other guy runs a small business through ebay, so I get the shaft. Of course ebay gets the last laugh cuz guess who still buys and sells....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
