Damn, that sucks. I guess the lesson leared is to have seperate ebay accounts for buying and selling. The buying account doesn't really need to have clean feedback nearly as much as the selling one.


But, as a buyer, if I see a prospective seller has negative feedback from something he did as a buyer, I disregard it. I don't think it's that big of a deal. I'm not going to hesitate buying something from you because of something you did as a buyer.

It's interesting you brought up this point. I've been wanting to post a similar thread this past week. Only recently did I start using my eBay account to buy stuff. I have been selling pretty heavy since May. I am SO annoyed that sellers don't leave feedback until AFTER I leave them some. That is such crap. Once they get my money, they should leave Positive feedback. That's what I do. I leave good feedback the second I print the shipping lable. As a buyer, the person has met their obligation. But no. Now that I'm buying, I get these stupid emails saying "Please leave positive feedback once you get the item and I'll do that same."

It makes the feedback system worthless. I almost didn't leave someone Neutral feedback the other day because I was afraid they'd leave me negative feedback even though I paid the moment the auction ended. Ebay already has a system where you can reply to any negative feedback left to you, but so many people use feedback as ransom.

I might start leaving positive feedback that says "I paid immediately, but seller only gave me good feedback after I did the same." Maybe we can start shaming some of these people.
