A pattern of abusive feedback.

Sometimes it seems that buyers can get away with anything.

Not.

Selling hope

The theory is that a buyer will pay a bit more.

It often yields undesired feedback, and/or a losing SNAD dispute.

Often, the hope includes a question mark.

Gold?
Tiffany?

The technical analysis shows this to be lacking insight. If the stuff really is gold, then surely it would sell for far more being described as gold. If the stuff is brass instead, then what did buyer get for his money, and why would buyer be happy about that?

The ultimate dumb move: refuse the returned package

From time to time, some poorly informed poster on the board will advise a seller facing a return to refuse the package.

While one's intuition might yield that advice, it's dead wrong. Refusing a return is near certain to result in no stuff and no money. The exceptions involve buyer cooperation.

I started by trying to help this person with a partial refund but he refused and escalated the claim. Afterwords the initial Paypal ruling landed in my favor, he tried to return the expensive item anyways using UPS, I refused to accept it for legal reasons and it was sent back to him in another state.

After he got the item back, he called his CC company to perform a chargeback against me. It worked.

Paypal said they couldn't/wouldn't help me. The buyer kept the merchandise and got a full refund for over $1000.

The concept of timely shippng.

Here's a recent posting:

I recently had my account limited becasue of too many dsl 1's and 2's on my shpping time on my auctions.

Here's my question.

On ALL my auctions, I used the "ten day handling" time that ebays offers to sellers..for a reason.

So, why or how can I be punished for using what is offered to me?
When ebayers buy my items, it's right there in the listing..and they still buy and pay. Just because they don't get it in a cpl of days they leave a low dsl...but ebay provides that time period???????????

And the answer is, you can't tell people you intend to treat them poorly, and expect them to be happy when you treated them poorly, because you warned them.

Perhaps the related answer is: ebay sellers will be judged against other ebay sellers, and not judged against their feeble promises.

Free Shipping (but really postage due).

We've now seen multiple reports of this scam. It seems to be growing now that free shipping yields no s/h star. Buyers are having a hard time figuring out which star to leave the 1 on.

It's usually minor, a buck or so. Seller ships the stuff for free, resulting in various benefits not the least of which is more sales.

But when the stuff comes, shipping turns out to not be so free. Postage due.

So long as buyers fail to post sincere feedback in such cases, we can expect to see them increase.
