Quote:Originally Posted by DrWatson I agree about Facebook. But I would be using this controlled and moderated environment to communicate more. It may be painful and awkward in difficult times, but nothing positive will come from remaining silent. Those communications will make their way from here to Facebook as a one-way communication. People on Facebook will snark and criticize, but he won't have to engage and respond there. |

| I bought some items on ebay and before the item shipped I asked if it was possible to cancel order. If he said no, that would have been fine. He said sure, just confirm cancelation. He then blocked me do I can't confirm. If it was a problem say no and we work it out like adults. Now I have to get ebay involved. How would you handle this? I did not give him any ultimatums or threats or anything. I would have bought the books if he said no. Now what? Risk negative feedback because he doesn't want to discuss? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbayMafia Remaining aloof would, IMHO, be a mistake. Folks here are, for the most part, the loyal repeat customers. Giving said customers the impression that you either hold yourself above them or cannot be bothered to make time for/communicate with them is not a good plan. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte That guy sounds like he needs a chill pill. Dude shouldn't have blocked you like that, and now the only recourse you have is to get eBay involved, which is tough luck for the seller because that could wind up on seller metrics. Since you're the buyer, dude can't give you negative feedback, because eBay has a heavy buyer-bias. Buyers can give negative feedback to sellers, but not vice-versa. I've had buyers cancel on me after auctions before, and while it's annoying, I really appreciate that they're 'fessing up and not being deadbeats. The deadbeats are the ones I block, not the people who just made an honest mistake. |

| As a seller, I have had folks change their mind. While annoying I refunded the money and if I was pissed I'd block them after the situation was settled. Not while we are supposedly discussing it. i have an hour for ebay to call me back. I'm half tempted to give a negative to him so he can deal with ebay and try and remove it after being a prick. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC That's a good possibility. I still think it's childish for the seller to block someone who is trying to cancel before the item is shipped (the only time when cancelling would be 'convenient' for the seller). There are some processes on eBay that are oddly complex, and they tend to change over time, making things harder than they need to be. The seller really might not have known it would be a problem. Quote: Originally Posted by Bronte Blocking folks after issues are settled is how it should be done. I block deadbeats and people who are abusive or unreasonable. I'd be very tempted to at least give this seller lukewarm feedback. The reality is that sometimes purchases need to be cancelled. If I buy something and then realise my finances aren't what I thought or that I've made some kind of error, then I'd cancel the purchase before it goes any further and apologise to the seller. As long as the item hasn't shipped the seller should be gracious about it. |

| I talked to ebay and they said give him 24 hours to cancel. I said that if he ships it during that time bracket, then it gets even more complicated and he loses money on return shipping and sending. Can't you contact him and tell him to unblock me until transaction is complete? The lady said something unintelligible and I said whatever, I just dont want seller to be out money 2x for no reason. I guess I'll find out in 24 hours. |

| You're being very considerate to the guy that blocked you....that's a good thing. You're the buyer so you are in a far better position than the seller. You've gone above and beyond to make this as easy as possible to the seller. Sleep well and the chips will fall where they may. | ||

| @GAC I get the guy the guy is upset. I might be too, but to be out money, and time is something that would infuriate me if I was seller. I don't want him to go through that. I'm an ass, but I'm not a complete prick. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte As a seller, it annoys me to have to issue a refund when a buyer abruptly cancels, but if that's done before I waste my time shipping - not to mention my $ if shipping is free for the buyer - it's an inconvenience but it's not dire. It's certainly not worth losing a potential customer who appreciates a seller being gracious about a cancellation. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte 2 things - 1) i don‘t believe you can give negative once you have been refunded (but i could be wrong) 2) while i would have handled it differently by asking whether you can cancel before shipped - for some sellers - you become a buyer they don’t wish to deal with - hence the block. |

| @poka He agreed to cancel if I confirmed cancelation. I can't confirm therefore if i take him at his word he will ship. He has NOT refunded me squat so far. He has just succeeded in making me waste over an hour with ebay waiting for them to call and then tomorrow if I need to call again. I prolly wont give him a negative feedback because part of this is my fault. But if anything he does deserve a neutral, because it sure hasn't been positive for either of us. |

EbayMafia private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Bronte I understand your conflict. You feel like you shouldn't have purchased something and then asked to cancel. On the other hand, what the seller did is extremely odd. I'm guessing it is all in writing on the Ebay platform? Once he ships to you, you are going to have significant leverage over him. If you wanted to be a pain in his ass or even try to coerce a partial refund, you would have leverage to attempt that. I'm going to be surprised if he puts himself in that position by shipping. I don't blame him for blocking a buyer who asks to cancel but I'm thinking he probably didn't realize that it would prevent you from canceling the purchase. If you want me to help, you can PM me the name and details and I will message him a note letting him know that you are blocked from canceling. Non-mafia style, just an informative message. | ||
