so i just left my first negative feedback on ebay.
i had won an auction on 1/8 for a cozy new north face jacket that i desparately need in this freezing weather, and i did not get the jacket until today, 1/19. i had emailed the seller on oh, 1/12 asking when i should expect my package and was told "maybe next week". um...what? so i asked "maybe i will get the package next week or maybe you will mail the jacket next week?". i never got an answer.
then, this monday, 1/15, i got an email with a tracking number. slightly odd since the post office was closed due to martin luther king day, but whatever. each day this week i went online and checked the tracking status, and there was nothing until thursday, 1/17, when the package was actually sent. 9 days after the auction ended.
oh, and did i mention that the seller lives a mere 45 miles away from me?
yeah. no exscuse. whatsoever. heck, i had won another auction on 1/10 for a l.a.m.b. t-shirt and got the package a few days later.....from HONG KONG. so no. i don't have any sympathy for the seller that in the city.
wonder if they'll leave me a negative feedback, although i paid as soon as the auction was over via pay pal and tried to communicate as much as posiable via email. but whatever.
I have left semi-negative feedback before, and it wasn't completely negative because I feared retaliation. =)
