eBay's commitment to reducing fraud. recordvillage1

Apparently it doesn't include taking down sellers who are either dead, sick, or left the country.
Sellers who still have over 5000 active listings.
Sellers who have received over 500 negative feedbacks in the last 30 days.
Sellers who Amazon UK shut down over 30 days ago.
Sellers whose only recent positive feedbacks come from items sold a month or more ago.
Sellers whose automated systems are still leaving postives feedback for positives received, creating the illusion to the uninformed that they are still active.

Who is this seller you ask?

recordvillage1:

Despite receiving replies to numerous fraud reports, still nothing has been done to de-activate this seller's listings.

I actually feel somewhat embarrassed at this point to have ever worked for eBay.

eBay claims that it's bad sellers who cause buyers to leave the site. I say eBay needs to do 100% more to take down these sellers, especially when they've clearly gone bad.

Please help report this seller. Action needs be taken.

start on the 'help' page
click 'contact us'
select 'buying and finding'
select 'fraud and payment concerns for buyers'
select 'the problem you're having with fraud isn't listed'
next page, click 'email us' under the Contact Customer Support text
enter 'recordvillage1' in the box for User ID
Enter something like
"Please explain to me why this clearly non-shipping and fraudulent seller with over 500 recent negative feedbacks still has over 5000 listings active on eBay. What happened to eBay's commitment to fraud?"

This situation looks to me like a seller who was unhappy about being screwed over by Ebay, with their fee increases, and removal of feedback priveledges coming in May. Obviously for that seller, it was the last straw. Looks like the operator of that ID took the money and ran. Unfortunately this is likely the tip of the iceberg for what is coming in May. Imagine what Ebay will be like when 5,000-10,000 or more angry sellers pull somehting like this in May. It will be interesting. Glad I'll be out of business before those times come.

What other unpleasant surprises do angry former Powersellers have for the site in the future?? I guess time will tell....

Thanks to everyone who reported them.

LOL - ebay must have really hated to shut them down - jus think of all the cash they lost in FVF fees not to mention all the cash they are going to have to recover (ya like they will really try to recover money -- lol I bet the seller has long since cleared his paypal account.

The not so funny part is that is took them this long to even get wind of it - I guess all those buyers complaining in the hundreds ment nothing to them.

The Trust and Safety team were too busy looking at small Canadian sellers with less than 5% user satisfaction ratings and restricting them to make eBaY a better shopping place.

ROFLMAO - what a bunch of turkey's.

BTW - I think this would be a good story to forward to AuctionBytes for them to pouch all over it and look further into it.

Cheers,

Ebay thinks it can replace it's powersellers on a moments notice. Sure, right, lots of folks have 72,000 positive transactions on Ebay like this guy did, before he got mad and took it out on his customers.

That's one large source of products for buyers gone from the site. Who will jump next?!

Just another day of clutching a shrinking balloon.....

Hang on tight Mr Donahoe, the big PFFFFTTT has yet to come.

[ewa-jo]

Does anyone else think it's FUNNY that he had some buyers who STILL left a positive feedback and said that they never received their CDs and got ripped off? Lame lame lame buyers. Bad sellers stay on ebay because of people like that...

oooohhh... the threat of retaliatory feedback.

I've never been afraid to neg a seller for some legitimate reason, even if I got a nasty retaliation FB...

[bare_bright]

hey guys Maybye the guy died? or got put in jail, There could be lot's of reasons.

Imagine if he get's back on, all the mutally feedback requests, wonder if his mailbox is full?

is he still not responable for up to 90 days for any moneys owed, even if one closes there paypal a/c and ebay a/c there still on record for 90 day's I beleive.

so I don't think we will see to much of this in may.

more than likely something happened to the dude.

Cheers! 🙂

Well - if the person passed away or was in a car accident or was kidnapped by pirates you would think that a relative, friend or significant other would have notified eBaY on his behalf.

I doubt seriously this was a one-man-shop.

Someone should have known that product was not being shipped out despite orders coming in.

Oh well at least they are shutdown now.

I have no idea what was going on but they were still starting listings as late as Sunday and some buyers who bought in the last two weeks apparently were receiving their orders.

WOW 884 Negs in past 12 Months

Must be a Record, Wonder what type of message board those

Type of sellers Have? I Still say Something Serious Has

Happened, Time will Tell

:)

[numero_1]

WOW +54000 positive feedback, 6 yeras working on it and still +98% feedback even after 533 negatives in 1 month (almost as many positives he got, hehe)

what if the guy went on vacation, and got his account hacked, so somebody decided to make easy cash ?
say at a min of 5 puound (C$10) per item x 533 that's well over $5000
