[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2255093, member: 13307"]Just a question that's on my mind today, as this is the second time I've been threatened by a buyer who said, "I spent X amount of money, you should give me free shipping or I won't pay." Now, I'm not saying I'd leave a negative for someone who did this. But I kind of feel like eBay encourages this behavior by tilting the feedback system SO far in favor of buyers, there are no repercussions if they act like spoiled 4-year olds. If you don't sell on eBay, you may not know that a seller has only two choices: Positive and "I'll leave feedback later." We used to be able to leave negative feedback for buyers who don't pay, or buyers who curse you out and threaten to do all sorts of things to you because you listed an item with $3 shipping and they don't want to pay it, even though that's what it really costs after fees and materials. So, how do eBay sellers band together and get eBay to even the playing field again? Will it ever happen? Or, is there another vastly better alternative for an independent seller to sell their own items? Discuss.[/QUOTE]
