[QUOTE="gxseries, post: 2146866, member: 4373"]It's some crap buyers that ruin the whole seller experience. There was a buyer that I sold at a loss and whinged about some defect that wasn't evident in the photo as well as the slow shipping. Geez, you are talking about some coins that were sold for a few mere dollars and it was mailed internationally. Obviously buyer expected some kind of international tracking service but it was not doable for just a couple of dollars. I refunded the money and said he can keep it to avoid trouble. Yet he demanded an apology on top of the refund for wasting his time and left negative feedback. Needless to say, he was blocked. He got another friend to stir up more trouble and similar thing happened. So in a matter of a month, I sold them at a loss and was awarded a couple of negative feedback. You can imagine how much furious emails I wrote to ebay. They weren't willing to remove the negative feedback as they claimed it is not within the guideline. It took quite a fair bit of effort to convince them that this was unwarranted as I did everything I can and that they were working together to frame me. While both negative feedback were removed after another month, my reputation was hit. To add to the irony - both of them were known to sell counterfeits! Few months down the road, they got slapped with a few negative feedback. They got what they deserved I guess.[/QUOTE]
