OH my G........I am so angry right now my head could explode!
This is totally off topic but I have to vent!
I am selling Vintage Playboy mags for a friend.
A buyer contacted me last week and said he was interested in a magazine I had in my store but he would not be able to pay until April 4th. He also said he might be purchasing more than one. I wrote him back and said no problem...he could purchase right away and I would have no problem holding them until he had the funds in his paypal account. So he ends up buying two from my store and 2 that ended in auction on March 31st. He asked for a combined invoice and said he would send funds on April 4th. I got them packed and ready to mail, sent an email with his shipping options. He choose priority, payment came 4/3 and his mags were mailed that day.
I am leaving feedback for my buyers today..I leave it when there items ship so they know they are on the way. I know not the best practice but its something I've always done.
I check my feedback and there it is A NEGATIVE. This guy is saying he did not get all that he bought and that it was not shipped in a timely manner. Are you kidding? I have been selling on ebay for almost 7 years and have never gotten one! Of course I replied to it. But it still does not make me feel any better!
ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGG......
MOBW, was this on eBay. Would it be worth asking for a mutual withdrawal of feedback?
Sorry this happened to you. I know the feeling when someone does this although you didn't earn it.

Don't feel bad. I have 125. 8)
Yes this happened on eBay.
Well I just received an email from the buyer and he made a mistake. He hasn't even gotten my package yet! Says he's So Sorry and how can we fix it. I know you can retract feedback but I don't think it takes the comment away, just makes it so your rating is not effected. I will have to try and get that done. I know some don't think a negative is such a big deal but it's been almost 7 years and this one was not even meant for me. If I do something to deserve it than "Negative" away! I think I am so annoyed about this because I really went out of my way for this guy and he did not even contact me before leaving feedback. This is also why I don't like selling things for others. It always seems to cause me trouble.
Ohhh by the way, I guess I can reveal myself now that my WP store is completely empty....just waiting for an email back about closing....Contacted them last night and still have not gotten an answer..I guess I will have to go to the community board to get some attention.
I am kettoo.....of "Kelli's Keepsakes and Postcards"
I have been selling over on ebay for almost seven years and am the proud new owner of a eCrater store which I had my first sales at on Tuesday!
I have to think about changing my user ID here...I kinda like MYOBeesWax...being an Aquarius...it's kind of my motto....
I have to figure out how to add my logo or links.... I will play around with that when I get back from the Post Office.
By the way to any lurkers that bought from me on WagglePop. I really enjoyed doing business with you and thank you for your business. If you are looking for postcards I am still selling on the net. Same prices, shipping costs, and customer service.
You can find me at ebay...user ID kettoo....store "Kelli's Keepsakes and Postcards"
On eCrater I am also kettoo "kelli's-keepsakes-and-postcards"
I wish all at WP luck with your stores and hopefully things will work out for you.
Just know there are other venues out there were you don't pay fees, don't get empty promises, have traffic and actually make sales to outside buyers.
Well I think I've said it all...and I am glad to finally be out of the closet though some of you knew who I was

Not naming names, but I think  you're about 4700 negatives short of being the TT record holder.  :-X

Correct.
MOYB:
Like one seller said to me nearly 9 years ago, when I received a neg as retaliation for reporting a buyer to eBay for plagiarism, "it's kinda like a bad date. After awhile, it all fades away."
After about 6,000 or so transactions, I've received 6 of them, all retaliatory. One from a buyer in Ireland who never completed the sale (or even contacted me) and then got PO'd because I sold the item to another bidder. One from a Turkish scam artist (she tried to negotiate a mutual withdrawal, but I refused). One from a newbee with no FB, who didn't like her item, but never contacted me during the entire transaction or after. And the last was from a buyer who I mistakingly sent the wrong item to. I refunded all the postage both ways, plus all my handling charge, prior to her returning the item to me, and promptly sent her the correct item at no charge (actually paying less than her purchase price), but she left the neg anyway.

mileystuffhappens: If you do enough transactions, you're going to get negged sooner or later, and one minus among a gazillion glowing reports means nothing. BTW: I considered negotiating a mutual withdrawal with the last buyer, but after going on the boards and explaining the issue, I changed my mind. According to the replies I received, mutual withdrawal can be even more damaging.
Anybody seen WP's sales report?
Aquarians RULE!
