145 forum posts 14 photos | I f I had sold something in good faith on Ebay and someone left me negative feedback I would be extremely dissappointed . Every seller always says something like ,' If you have a problem with an itenm , contact us first before leaving negative feedback'. you didn't do this and so left the seller negative feedback without giving him the option of resolving the issue. This is effectively vindictive, like getting in a fight before letting the bloke who spilt your pint apologise and offer to buy you another one. There is a reason for feedback, if there are 50 sellers of an item, fuel hose , widgets or whatever, then not every seller can be at the top of the first page obviously. The sellers with good feedback get to be at the top of the first page and sellers with worse feedback end up on page 9 where no one ever sees their item. Negative feedback should only be left really for Rip offs or other serious reasons , not because you don't like an item or it's not quite what you expected. Your feedback could have really serious effects on the seller. If I was selling coily airlines with brass ends and one was 8mm dia and one was 10mm dia , I would describe them as such rather than cut one in half and say 'well it has a 5.9mm bore , but its only 5.5mm where it passes through the brass fitting'. No, there it is on the shelf one is yellow and 8mm and one is blue and 10mm and that is what you get. It's hardly any wonder he doesn't want to have anything to do with you is it?
