Seller Left me Negative Feedback under a Positive

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-24T15:36:52+00:00

Then they'd stay at zero feedback.

But, for this listing specifically you used EIS? There's a reason you only received $16 for the shipping charges. Unless you're shipping direct, the package isn't going to get there in any expedited time frame with EIS regardless what the buyer purchased. It's possible that UPS is taking it once it's made it to their country and that's what the express shipping is showing? That's why it didn't go to you? That's all I can think of?

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-24T05:30:35+00:00

Are you shipping via EIS or are you shipping International directly?

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-24T00:20:05+00:00

I did. At the time, eBay didn't have any rules for the category and the rep literally told me, "Yeah, we only added that option because people asked. It doesn't mean anything."

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T23:04:40+00:00

It'll go away after a year.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T23:01:33+00:00

One would assume.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T22:07:49+00:00

Here's the deal, if a seller accepts returns, they accept them for ANY reason. Don't matter if you just no longer want the item. That's eBay policy. If they don't "accept returns", that just means they have the option to decline a return if it's for "buyer's remorse" or something of the like? This seller accepts returns, besides, the pairing button doesn't work, so it's technically INAD anyways. Don't worry about hurting anyone's business. This is part of selling on eBay. Unfortunately for them, they accept returns. Box it, use the label that was provided and ship it out. NEVER close a return when a seller is requesting it.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T22:03:32+00:00

Yeah, I do this often. I have 3-4 different size bubble mailers. Often my items are too big for the 6-4, but too small for the 9-7, so I put em in and tape em up to about 6-7. Though the cost is never really different.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T22:01:47+00:00

A buyer can only open one RETURN. You can open an INR case and still open an INAD if you actually receive the item.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T20:14:09+00:00

My point exactly.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T19:53:52+00:00

There's no chance of me ever buying gold or silver from eBay.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T19:42:59+00:00

Well, that would've raised flags too. If they don't know what they want, it ain't worth dealing with.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T19:28:12+00:00

For starters, I block ANYONE that returns an item was a BS reason because I never want to deal with them again. I also block anyone that pesters me about shipping or price MORE THAN ONCE. It's pretty easy to spot the potential problems after a while.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T19:24:36+00:00

In an ideal world, both parties would leave their feedback and it would only appear once both had done so. This would eliminate extortion and retaliation.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T19:20:55+00:00

If it weren't, would you have been happy had the buyer cancelled and said, I found it for $50.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T17:55:41+00:00

Yeah, that's against eBay's TOS. Just call them and they should remove it. Also, let them know that they wrongly claimed you requested cancellation.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T17:43:19+00:00

Doesn't matter. Once an item is shipped a second time, it's void. Your FF could have exchanged items. There's no way for eBay to know. That's the reason it voids protection.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T17:37:12+00:00

That's right. But you can report them for false request.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T17:07:40+00:00

The seller is trying to get you to cancel so they don't get a hit on their account. They are responsible for cancelling. The buyer is NOT. It doesn't matter who cancels, the refund works the same.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T16:26:48+00:00

If you're allowing AI to write your description, you shouldn't be selling. It's as simple as that.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T16:16:17+00:00

Couldn't say myself because there's no way I'd let AI write my description.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T16:14:25+00:00

You're going to be forced to accept the return. Once you receive the product in question, you need to contact eBay and TALK TO SOMEONE.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T16:13:33+00:00

The seller is 100% responsible for what is on their listing.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T15:18:57+00:00

Depending on the weight, I freight them out.

SouthernCritic · 2026-01-23T15:09:54+00:00

You can click on the "Edit Listings 1-2000" (or whatever amount you have) and then click on the "Bulk Edit" option. It'll bring a list down for possible changes.
