whats wrong with ebay?

Ebay seems to be having major problems - they "lost" a dispute I opened on a guy (which I had to redo)He had 4 negative(out of 5) feedbacks - he bid high a pair of speakers that he had no intention of buying - He sent me a profanity laced e-mail when I sent him a invoice and he also sent me another one when he left the neg. feedback taunting me about it -ebay let the guy leave negative feedback on my perfect account and said they cant do anything about it - I've sent a couple of emails to ebay(after finding the buried email link) with no response from them except that they cant do anything about the feedback. anyone else have a problem like this?

Forrestc is absolutely correct. You should not ever let a person with that kind of feedback -- which is usually indicative of some kind of unreliable, spiteful nut case -- bid on your items. In the event you forget to install a filter regarding excessive negative feedback then: (a) insert a statement in your text that you reserve the right to cancel bids from any individual with what you deem to be excessive negative feedback; and (b) then cancel such a bid as soon as it is received.

Sorry that you had trouble with a b***sh1ter.
Ebay is funny in that to leave a 'feedback', they only give you 80 characters to give a full account of the transaction, yet to send a general enquiry to a seller about an Item they allow you 900 characters! Shouldn't It be the other way around, surely? I had a dispute with a seller a few ago regarding a very limited cd who assured me It was the limited version, after I received It I knew It wasn't what I expected but Ebay were not the slightest bit Interested in helping, I think they told me to get a lawyer and try and pursue myself. Bit hard when the seller was In a different country. Had to bite the bullet on that one. Ebay sucks on occasions.

Yeah, I finally found out about the preferences to restrict a certain level(you can only stop bidders if they have negative feedback) or bidders from out of the country - I did a google search of this guy and found a 8 page thread on Canuck audio mart about the guy and some of his past exploits - I sent this link to ebay but didnt hear anything back - like usual - I was kind of proud of the perfect feedback and worked hard to make sure my transactions went smoothly - well, I guess nothing in this world is perfect

Some jerk ruined my perfect fedback.
It was his very first Ebay transaction!
I think it was a competitor signing on to burn my reputation.
EBAY did nothing. My sales tanked after that. THANKS EBAY!

A very experienced e-bay told me once that having a couple of negatives from jerks shows that you are not a pushover.

Wear it proud and move on.
