Agree that there are alot of sharp operators on eBay, and that feedback has to be "filtered". I usually read a page or 2 of the comments rather than just look at the score. That's where you see for example that a seller is really in Hong Kong, even though the listing says shipping from the UK (not necessarily a problem though).
The transaction isn't completed though when the buyer pays. If they have a problem they should give the seller an opportunity to resolve it, rather than hitting them with -ve feedback immediately.
As a previosu poster said, there should not be a problem, you have paid for the goods, so there cannot be any further judgement made towards the buyer.
Im not sure if I fully agree with this statement. Yes, the buyer pays and one would imagine that thats the end of the buyers part in the deal. However some buyers kick up an awful fuss after they receive the item because it wasnt what they had expected (they didnt read the dimensions or otherwise misunderstood the posting) - Ive seen feedback where buyers have been nasty over what to me seemed like an obvious misunderstanding on the part of the buyer and in that situation then the seller should be allowed to leave feedback for the buyer saying 'beware - this person buys without reading ad correctly then leaves bad feedback even though item was as described'.

But the article is in relation to sellers, not buyers.

I paid within 10 mins of the auction ending and have 100% positive feedback after 5 years on ebay. Don't want to ruin that now.
I am not sure of this information on banning bad feedback. It could be a grapevine. However, it is high time people watch the way thing a being bought on ebay. Cavet emptor i.e. buyers beware.
I am yet to see someone who can vividly confirm that resolution are sort to favour buyer who already paid to paypal for a product with emernating problem.
Again, it good if issues are unresolved as money can be utilise by paypal pending resolution.
I am a circumstial of misrepresentation on e bay. Cautioned e bay to desuade people selling fictitious items and saying 100% legal when e bay knew its a fradulent activities and allowed such act to continue based on their commision.
I have not seen any legality behind 7 days guaranttee put up on e bay when returning an item not meeting demand and aspiration of buyers. If you are sure of what you are selling while not give 12months return policy.
7 DAYS AS DESCRIBED WHEN DOES THE DAY START TO COUNT. At despatch, when postman drop slip for collection or when you are in poccession of the physical good. WHEN?
Colleagues there a lot of issues to talk about on e bay, we talk about it later. I have to go.
