eBay Guides - The WORST eBayer Top 10 Ways to Get Negative Feedback
Want the title of being the Worst eBayer on the Web? Here are 10 ways you can almost guarantee to get Negative Feedback (the lifeline to future purchases and sales).
If you're a BUYER, sending a money order, cashiers' cheque or personal check, don't bother going through Check-Out.
After all, going through Check-Out gives both the BUYER and SELLER a written record of the transaction, making life easier for everyone. Instead, get your SELLER ticked off by not only avoiding Check-Out, but when you send your payment, do so without referencing your purchase. Never include your Auction Number or a description of the item(s) your purchasing...let your SELLER spend his or her time figuring out what in the world you were buying. After all, most SELLERS only have a few hundred auctions they have to go through to find yours.
If you're a SELLER, fail to give the BUYER positive feedback.
After all...they're only Customers and who cares about them after you make your sale, right?
If you're a BUYER, save your money for as long as you can.
Make the SELLER turn you into eBay as a Non-Payer...then, right before the seven-day grace period ends, send the SELLER a note giving some lame excuse and promising that you'll have your payment in the mail the next day. Then wait two weeks more before and refuse to return his or her emails.
If you're s SELLER, protect "Mother Earth" by refusing to use any form of plastic bubblewrap or styrophone peanuts to protect items.
Blame the BUYER for not taking out insurance or the mailing service if things arrive broken. Refuse returns of broken items. And if you DO use padding, use something extremely messy like paper from your paper shredder...that's sure to anger BUYERS and mess up their houses.
If you're a BUYER, make a habit of cancelling your bids a few minutes before an auction is slated to end.
If you do this often enough, you will get more than just bad feedback...you'll end up getting banned by SELLERS from being able to bid on their items in the future.
If you're a SELLER, make outlandish claims about your product.
After all, it's only your reputation and you're selling to strangers anyhow, right? Especially rip off international buyers in the spirit of world peace. Use ambiguous words so that you can later claim you actually meant one thing when your auction said something else.
If you're a BUYER, expect perfection of your item, even when a picture clearly shows that there is a flaw or when the description says it's "used."
Threaten giving out bad feedback unless you're completely satisfied.
If you're a SELLER, make your photographs so blurry that no one can actually see the quality of your item.
That way, when you send junk you can say, "Hey...it's what you saw in the picture!"
If you're a BUYER, leave negative feedback for others even when the transaction has gone well.
That's sure to get some nasty Follow-Up comments on your Feedback and possibly get your banned from bidding on future items from that particular SELLER.
And finally, if you're a SELLER, just take the money and run.
After all, it only means bad Feedback and possible fines and prison sentences for Mail Fraud. Think of how relaxing life could be behind bars...
