They buy something from the other side of the world, it's shipped same day as
order and is in postal system for 10-14 days.... so they tick SLOW SHIPPING....
Their hotmail address is overflowed, so they don't hear from you, or their AOL
filters are set to KILL EVERYTING EXCEPT AOL and they don't hear from you....
and so they tick POOR COMMUNICATION.
They didn't read the description clearly or realise they were looking in
posters and not DVDs, and get a poster and not the DVD they wanted, they tick
ITEM NOT AS DESCRIBED...
The list is endless.
Meanwhile sellers have no way of warning anyone that the person who spent up
several hundred bucks and didn't pay, is to be avoided at all costs.... and
yes, you get your fees back, but not the initial listing fee. You get THAT back
if the thing sells again....
In the words of the great French philosopher, Monsieur W'Hat'isnem, "Il est
fucked."

Subject: [MOPO] is ebay's DETAILED FEEDBACK RATINGS working?
about 5 years ago, i sold 2 posters to a collector and the day he received
them, he called me. the reason for his call was to discuss a defect that i
decribed in a new listing of mine before bidding. at the end of the call, i
said not to forget doing my feedback. he replied, since he would be bidding,
again, he wouldn't leave feedback until after the current auction ended
because, as he said, if he leave great feedback now, he may have to pay more
for the new poster (since potential buyers would think I am a great seller).
i suspect that many people post low numbers to the ANONYMOUS DETAILED
FEEDBACK RATINGS. not everyone, but some.
where else but ebay can you disparage anonymously without repercussions?
on a positive note, these ratings may enlighten and cause buyers to pause or
even bid HIGH, but what is the criteria of the ratings?
