<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Numismania, post: 1127702, member: 28971&quot;]If you can, screen bidders, also. I have an item for sale right now. It&#039;s a doubled die, and there are 3 variations of the DD. This one particular &#039;potential&#039; bidder asked which one it was, to which I answered him. It was due to the wording of his message that gave me mixed feelings about him. This &#039;question asker&#039; has almost 500 feedbacks, ALL as a buyer, never sold an item. I then check the feedbacks he left.....34 total FB&#039;s left (remember, he has received almost 500 as a buyer). Out of those 34 feedbacks, 32 of them were NEUTRAL, 32!!! He has left 2 positive feedbacks out of 34 total feedbacks left on almost 500 purchases. Obviously, sellers are leaving him FB upon receipt of funds, but out of close to 500 transactions (that he has been left feedback for), he has been gracious enough to leave 32 neutrals, and 2 positives. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What do I do after sending him his response? I block him from bidding. I&#039;m not going to go through any BS (I have 100% FB, and always ship within 48 hours of receiving payment, always use delivery confirm, always add the tracking info to the auction, and always send it to the buyer in a message via the ebay system, also, so the buyer doesn&#039;t have to inquire, and always ask that all was well when I see the item has been confirmed as delivered). I blocked him as I pride myself on my service, description of items (though my photo skills aren&#039;t the greatest, you can clearly see my item is exactly as described...I don&#039;t &#039;shop photos like alot of sellers), quick shipping, and supplying the proper info. I don&#039;t need a turd like that dropping a neutral on me after giving the service I do, let alone getting dinged on my DSR (I do charge for shipping, but I ship Priority Mail, use the USPS&#039;s ins and delivery confirm...it always cost me more than I charge, yet I still manage to get dinged on shipping...but that doesn&#039;t bother me, because Ebay has made it so buyers damn near expect delivery to their door. If you don&#039;t ship for free, you get dinged. It doesn&#039;t bother me much, as I don&#039;t sell enough to qualify for the seller discount, but I&#039;ll be damned if I&#039;m going to deal with a person that will only leave feedback once for every 17 transactions, and 98% of the time it&#039;s a neutral.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The worst thing that happened is Toolhaus has been been blocked by ebay so sellers can&#039;t see how bad their potential buyers can be. Though, I always check feedback left by a bidder before the item ends. I&#039;d rather not sell something than give great service and not get the proper feedback I deserve. Granted, if I screw up (which hasn&#039;t happened), then that&#039;s one thing, but to see a loser leave me less than what I deserve, I&#039;d rather keep the item.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>edited to add.....the above is best case....it&#039;s people like this former potential bidder that cause problems, and I&#039;m not about to send a $150 item, get a SNAD filed, have my money taken from me, and get a &#039;box of rocks&#039; returned to me, with a del confirm....thusly giving my item away, losing my money, and futiley fighting for my money back, which I know I&#039;ll never see again.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather keep the item, as I said.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
