The buyer by the way had (7) feedback at this time

So I waited for the person to pay up, but they never did, so I got a credit...I couldnt wait to flame this person with negative feedback (as I hate more than anything when someone "buys something from me" and then never pays)...

Went to leave neg feedback for the person, and it said I couldnt leave feedback for them as the item was unpaid, and no feedback could be left...

so my question is this...will the two unpaid claims hurt this buyers ability to buy? any justice for shortysben here? as I resold the items, and the one that was 26$ first time around ended at 14$...

I feel like the original buyer should owe me 12$ here....whats up with this?

ebay took away the option for sellers to leave negative (or neutral) feedback a couple of years back. Supposedly to make it more buyer friendly because sellers would hold feedback hostage until they got a positive from the buyer. ebay is too lazy to set up a system to allow buyers to easily dispute negative feedback that is clearly just retaliation for calling out a bad seller. Now you see more negative feedback on sellers than before and that is good but buying aren't really committed to buy anymore. If they get enough unpaid item reports ebay will suspend their account but I don't know what the number is.

eBay is so wack sometimes.

ebay makes it harder to spot shill bidders these days because you can no longer see the user name of anyone who is bidding. Even in the past when I could clearly spot shill bidders the sellers would just deny and ebay wouldn't do anything.
