Non Paying Ebay Bidder Can Leave you negative feedback, I confirmed with eBay.

Non Paying Ebay Bidder Can Leave you negative feedback, I confirmed with eBay.

eBay actually might be making millions from non paying bidders.

Below is a transcript of my chat with an eBay representative and a non paying bidder who left me negative, a buyer refuse to pay and you think you can just file a UPI well think twice, the buyer can still leave you a negative and eBay will not remove it, all the buyer has to do is reply to your UPI and then leave you a negative feedback.

Read this and then go to this link to let ebay know what you think

I personally don't think a non paying buyer should be given the power to hurt your business, now that ebay is using the DSR to determine your success on eBay, they should at least protect you from non paying and malicious bidders. But from the conversation below eBay sides with non paying ebay buyers.

After stripping buyers of ability to leave negative, we should at least be protected from non paying bidders. Why is ebay leaving sellers to the mercy of buyers who won't play by the rules when ebay uses such feedback to determine your success on eBay, that is what the new DSR is used for to my knowledge.

You may ask Why again?

Well I can only think of one reason, when you successfully file a UPI ebay refund fees you paid to them but if you chose to not file UPI out of fear the customer can give you negative then eBay get to keep the fees, multiply this by thousands of buyers and this could easily run into millions of dollars, so the question is why would ebay want to lose this millions by preventing this non paying bidders from leaving negatives Unless you speak out,this will not stop.

Please email this page to other ebay sellers.

Welcome to eBay Live chat! My name is Corey. May I please have your User ID, Name, Address, and Phone number for verification purposes?
8:11:32 PM xxxxxxxxxx
8:12:23 PM Corey L.
Thank you for verifying your information. How can I help you today?

We have a customer who had purchased 5 rollators, rolling walker but never paid, I was surprise to see that this buyer gave us has the capability to give us negative feedback despite the fact that he did not pay.
8:14:24 PM xxxxxxx
If you read the feedback and the order you will see clearly that it is false negative
8:14:48 PM Corey L.
ok one moment while I take a look
8:14:50 PM xxxxxxxxx
user id for the buyer is readyifur
8:14:54 PM xxxxxxxx
THank you
8:14:59 PM Corey L.
Thank you

Ok with the feedback policies and changes we have outlined, We cant immediately remove the negative feedback. But we can consider it for its removal, the feedback department can investigate and send you a response as to what actions they could take or couldn't take.
8:17:46 PM Corey L.
With that being said, buyers are entitled to their own opinions on how a transaction went, even if they did not pay.
8:17:59 PM Corey L.
Buyers however are accountable for their actions.
8:18:33 PM xxxxxxxx
Okay,you are saying a buyer can buy from us and without paying still have the power to leave us negative right?
8:19:24 PM Corey L.
If they have communicated with you then yes. If you were to open a UPI dispute and end up closing it with no response from a buyer, than that buyer would be completely blocked from leaving feedback.
8:20:28 PM xxxxxxxxx
So what protection does ebay have for seller, because if a buyer doesn't pay me I will just have to let it go and forget the fees already paid to eBay, knowing that if I filed a UPI all they had to do is respond and then slam me with a negative so please can you specifically without mincing words what protection do I have from non paying buyers on ebay
8:20:34 PM xxxxxxxxx
and do other sellers know about this?
8:22:09 PM Corey L.
Okay I will gladly explain
8:22:44 PM Corey L.
So your best recourse as a seller is to file your disputes and to hold that integrity as a seller as best as you can. Obviously reputation is a huge part of eBay
8:22:59 PM Corey L.
It's important for sellers to do their part by filing these Disputes
8:23:18 PM Corey L.
Because once a buyer receives a number of unpaid item strikes.
8:23:46 PM Corey L.
That that buyer is suspended completely, and we will remove all negative and neutral feedback ever left by that member dating retroactively to 1996
8:24:06 PM Corey L.
Now I know the last thing a seller wants to do is take a negative.
8:24:58 PM xxxxxxx
Thank you for your explanation but I honestly think it does not protect me, like you said reputation is important but I am now stuck with a lie which some buyers will use to evaluate me.
8:26:47 PM xxxxxxxx
The bad part is ebay gets to keep the fees because I would rather avoid the negative all together,I honestly think as a seller if eBay allow a non paying buyer who have not even bother to mark the order as payment sent to leave negative it is like we are not getting what we are paying for.
8:26:59 PM Corey L.
It's best to maintain a high level of professionalism and work to come to the best agreement with the buyer. In some cases buyers can be very unreasonable and sellers have to go a bit out of thier way to appease them. We are working to improve this, But we have left buyers to be entitled to their own opinions because we want to eliminate the bad buying experiences. We removed sellers from being able to leave negative feedback because we saw that more than 75% of sellers were leaving negatives in retaliatory means

I am not asking to leave negative feedback, I am saying a buyer did not pay for an item and can still leave negative. As you can see on that feedback it was a lie because we never sold the buyer what he is claiming.
8:29:23 PM Corey L.
We appreciate the fact that you may disagree with eBay's decision to maintain our guidelines in this manner. If you would like to see these policies change, or have suggestions on how to make the site better, you may want to submit your feelings by completing the form at the following URL:http://pages.ebay.com/community/suggestion/
8:29:35 PM xxxxxxxx
Okay can you help us to start the process for them to check out the feedback and see if they can remove it
8:29:41 PM Corey L.
But in the meantime I can show you how to report this negative feedback
8:30:23 PM Corey L.
If you click on the following link this will bring up the feedback abuse web form to write in to

8:30:40 PM xxxxxxxx
THank you and I also happen to think this might be in place in order to discourage sellers from filing UPI as then eBay get to keep all the fees
8:31:14 PM Corey L.
I would also take some time to look over the feedback policies. outlined at the following links
