andrewluke Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) i purchased a brand new phone on ebay,it arrived but was blocked/blacklisted reported lost/stolen,i left seller a negative feedback about 3 weeks ago,i looked at feedback today but could not see this negative feedback so contacted ebay(live chat) and this is what was said(below),i think ebay are trying to hide any any negativity about ebay(as much as they can) so keep an eye on your feedback left for sellers,sellers feedback shows 100% positive with 10 feedback sorry!, tried to copy and paste transcript but didn't work,what i'm trying to say is that ebay said my negative feedback was removed by mistake but cannot be reinstated??

If you paid via PP and he is a new seller or has not a 100% feedback profile PP will hold onto your payment until you confirm everything is good. Don't know if this has changed at all as haven't purchased/sold anything for a long while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was released as soon as the buyer left positive feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Last time I sold anything and was payed by PP and my funds were kept on hold for 21 days Ron something similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Paypal payments aren't completely safe. We sent a bullet wallet to France, that was sold on ebay and payed for through PayPal, the customer said that it hadn't been delivered(despite being signed for), we always do our best to keep customers happy , so we sent another one( signed for again),as soon as it was received and signed for , the customer went to the bank and told the bank that we were fraudsters , the bank took the money back from paypal , and Paypal took the money back from us. Neither paypal or ebay were interested , the best advise we got from paypal was ,stop selling things abroad as most of the customers are scammers 😠. If I'd had a passport, I would have been knocking on some french scumbags door and breaking the greasy ******** head open 😠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewluke Posted January 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 it's not about the paypal payment,it's about the negative feedback i left for seller which has been removed so seller has got 100% positive feedback,the new phone he sold me was blocked/blacklisted either reported stolen or lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 I left negative feedback for one seller who said the item had been posted, whereas he didn't send it for a further week, after I had messaged him several times. His feedback about me remains, but mine has been removed. Ebay is there to make money, not uphold standards, in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Heron Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I will repeat once again what I keep saying on here ebay is the home of fakes, stolen goods, and other peoples unwanted ****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 This can also be done on Google - bought a pup car from a dealer and gave him the feedback he deserved on Google but the review keeps disappearing! Every time I check his site the review has gone but as soon as I click "write a review" it reappears in the review box again so I just click "post" but within a couple of weeks it's gone again??

39TDS Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 I left a negative on eBay and they somehow got it removed. That annoyed me more than the reason I left it in the first place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair0903 Posted January 30, 2019 Report Share Posted January 30, 2019 It is near impossible to leave negative feedback anymore, it really winds me up when someone is being a tool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
