Sellers can no longer provide negative feedback on ebay - only buyers

Did that - actually worked well - they indicated that as part of the dispute process you could be paid the amount owing - do I believe it? no but interested in others experiences on this.

My non payer dispute ended in me left with the option of a free relist or place a black mark against the buyer. I chose to give them one of the 3 strikes and your out option and banned them from my buyer and seller list. Ended up selling the car through a mate.
In reality your options are accept the retract or just push for the money but unless you are willing to take it to the small claims court you get nothing.

I have got a Nissan 280ZX up for auction and ending in 1 hour, and the highest bidder has this against his name:

Poor performance. Time waster. Retract all bids!!!!. Will not pay. ZZZZZ------- 07-Apr-08 22:03

Can I reject his bid? He is only $10 more than a highly rated bidder.

Thats the sort of thing I figured will be the result - not really a punishment - why does ebay even bother putting out a policy. I will bitch and whine to ebay and just relist.

Did you read the feedback he left? whats total feedback, remember, there is always to sides to a story

As expected sold with the one bid - no payment but I cannot take the issue up with ebay until 7 days have elapsed.

All I can say is that the system sucks.
