minty Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hey, I recently bought 2 Mad Caddies records which were described as "Near Mint", but they actually look like this: I left the seller Neutral feedback because he sent them fast, and he goes and leaves me 2 bad feedbacks saying: "Read picture and description, states visually graded." "Not responsible for your expectations, was as described in the listing." I told him to remove the feedback or I will take further action, and he basically said he won't do it. So now what should I do? This guy has really pissed me off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jawbreaker Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Did you contact him after you received it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbaptist Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 dude, the listing quite clearly states them to be near mint he sounds like a tool so make a complaint about him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Did you contact him after you received it? No, I just left him neutral feedback because that's how I felt and to let other people know what happened. How does he have the right to leave me bad feedback when I payed him instantly?

thomas Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Scratches like that on the vinyl is not "near mint" at all. I'd say get ebay into it, see if they can at least remove the negative feedback and just forget it if it plays fine. I'm sure they guy will never acknowledge he was wrong in his listing, since he probably sells a lot of stuff that way and no on has caught it or cared until now.

How would I go about getting eBay involved? The records do pop and skip way more than I'd like them too. The seller actually emailed me saying "Near mint does not meen perfect, it covers some light scuffs or marks. As stated in the listing they are visually graded not aurally."

jacobe Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I assume you paid with paypal, file a claim as it's signifigantly different than listed in the auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I file a claim on paypal and also get eBay involved to get rid of the bad feedback he left me? Yes. It's so shitty when that happens. There have been times I've been afraid to leave feedback first, as I'm paranoid, and believe everyone who buys from me is a dick and would leave me negative for the hell of it.

jawbreaker Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I believe it's pretty tough to get negative feedback removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patron Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Guy seems like a prick. I'd say start with a paypal claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravitylovesdrunks Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 just tell him to refund your money and remove the feedback or you will file a claim with both ebay and paypal. don't dick around with this little fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minty Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 What is this guys ebay handle so we know not to buy from him? fixation_on_the_darkness You probably won't buy from him unless you're from the U.K, but watch out anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 How does he have the right to leave me bad feedback when I payed him instantly? He doesn't, but you left feedback first so he responded. It's called retalitory feedback and it's a sad fact of life on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 That's pretty fucked, though. Neutral doesn't affect your %, whereas negative does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patron Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 There's the picture he posted on the auction. That's definitely misleading as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoodcore Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 eBay needs to work on the feedback a little to avoid these kinds of problems or minimize. As for the problem I think everyone is right on when they said to threaten with a claim and go from there. Near mint to me and I think most people means used but still 100% when it comes to ability to play. (Just as an aside: Have you tried maybe cleaning the record?)

minty Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 There's the picture he posted on the auction. That's definitely misleading as hell. Yeah that's the one. Just opened a claim. Thanks for all the tips guys, let's hope this dick learns his lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocnypunk Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 holy crap, that first picture looks bad. i thought ebay fixed their system where sellers can no longer leave negative feedback to buyers. wasnt that part of the new rules that took effect with the newly added higher fees.

How does he have the right to leave me bad feedback when I payed him instantly? this is EXACTLY the issue. you paid him straight away so your responsibility as a buyer has been met. that bastard should not be able to leave negatives for you when you upheld your end of the transaction perfectly. get onto ebay and paypal & harass the almighty fuck out of them so they do something about it. its fucked being a buyer and having some seller dick leave negatives when you've paid instantly.
