Ebay Feedback loophole

[drcy]

Long ago a card show scam was for someone to claim autographs were forgeries in order to get them at a low price. That of course begs the obvious question of "If you think they are forgeries, why would you want them at any price?"

I had a guy who sniped one of my auctions and then within minutes sent a cancellation request. I cancelled for him because what are you going to do? Obviously he wasn't going to pay. But I did send a nasty message that said he doesn't belong on ebay if he's going to bid and then immediately request a cancellation. He left me a negative a few weeks later that said I was rude. I called ebay and they immediately removed his negative. I did ask them how it was possible for someone to leave negative for an item they didn't purchase and they said it was a loophole that they were looking at closing.

Ebay told me that my negative fb was also due to a loophole - if the customer asked for a cancel they are not allowed to leave feedback.

Yes...yours should be removed.....mine was a case of a guy not knowing a card had a qualifier (bullshit) even though the qualifier was plastered all over the auction. No matter what happens though, don't sweat it.....

That's the key, as long as you don't care about your profit.
