wayjen 10 Posted April 27, 2011 Buyer with 88% ratings bids on an item and wins it on 17th April, completes checkout on 18th April but asks us to hold back as she only gets paid later in the month and we say fine. Buyer pays 23rd April and today we get a Neutral rating asking for tracking number. We don't need people like this on BoB. We were good enough to wait for payment but they are impatient when it comes to the item being posted to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kit W 10 Posted April 27, 2011 Wayne I would ask the buyer the reason for the neutral rating - you have done them the favour by waiting for payment at THEIR covenience!! I agree, it does not make any sense Kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayjen 10 Posted April 27, 2011 Hi Kit Jenny responded to the rating asking why the neutral when we were kind enough to hold onto the item until she could pay. I doubt we will get an answer. I wonder what will happen when we post the item tomorrow and send a tracking number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TS Ron 10 Posted April 27, 2011 yip, lets see how long it takes to get to its destination now.[/QUO Wayjen your ratings are wonderful at 100%. I am sure the rest of buyers shall not hold it against you if you receive one neutral rating. Ratings are beyond your control. I believe in the Karma.

babyface2 10 Posted April 27, 2011 be glad it is not a negative wayne. i got a negative from buyer stating i was rude when collecting item. her driver collected and she did not have the decency to let me know when he will be arriving. how do you fight a negative like that. i do not have cameras posted to tape my behaviour when people collect. i say be happy with a neutral, sometimes when you querie this with buyer it soon changes to negative. impossible to keep them all happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lilythepink 11 Posted April 27, 2011 Wayne, this is a world where one cannot please everyone all of the time - especially if they don't have the intelligence to understand one's reasoning. Send her/him for a colonic irrigation ...! But, whatever you do, please don't let it eat at you - in response to the neutral rating, just pass a comment about waiting so long for payment!

ziggy2000 10 Posted April 27, 2011 I have seen a lot of sellers complain about new buyers etc and their power play when it comes to ratings. I have always defended the new buyers but am slowly changing my mind.I know we can do nothing about them buying from us, but honestly why the neg and neutral ratings mostly from them?

wayjen 10 Posted April 28, 2011 this person has 35 ratings at the moment at 88% so the warning bells are ringing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wayjen 10 Posted April 28, 2011 Ok, we sent a tracking number and the rating was changed to positive. Once again the client has not even received the article yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
