Buying & Selling Thru Ebay & Other Auctions/Leaving buyer feedback

Advertisement


Question
Hi Suzie,

I sold something on eBay but I've been waiting more than a week for the buyer to pay.  I sent 2 invoices and a reminder email but haven't received any responses.  I've already set up an unpaid item case but if the buyer pays, can I leave negative feedback?  For example, not something like don't buy from this guy or I'd never deal with this buyer again, but something like the transaction could've went through more smoothly or the transaction was okay.

Answer
Sean;

Sorry it took me so long.  I have been away for the holidays. Sellers can no longer leave negative feedback for buyers, (as of about 2 years ago).  You can add them to your "blocked buyer list" Go here http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/biddermanagement.html

The best thing to do in a situation like this is just to block them and move on.  Hope your 2011 is buyer problem free.
