Someone who left me my first Negative ever due a Product Review: they didn't like what they bought and thought I should open the factory-sealed 'Collect them all!' packaged blind bag/mystery stickers to see what's inside of them before shipping the now unsealed stickers to make certain they were the 'good' ones that people would like.
That wasn't even the worst part, it was how the Feedback Specialists simply did not care how I felt about it or what I said; they couldn't be bothered to read my Item Description, didn't want to acknowledge the buyer's demonstrated history of leaving knee-jerk negative, neutral or nonsensical positive feedback reviews (think mashing the keyboard to produce random characters) and even THEN Customer Servie lied to me about a 'supervisor' that would follow-up the nest day which never happened.
I felt like I'd been violated twice over. First by the buyer, and then by ebay Customer Service.
My second-worst experience was a buyer who left me Neutral because I think she was mad someone outbid her at the last minute on a second item she wanted at auction. Something about a 'scam' because she couldn't combine shipping, although she hadn't bought more than one thing. Before that text was removed for violating policy, she taunted me about how I could do nothing about it due to the fact I was a dumb Canadian and she an American. She also called me some unpleasant words and names, most of which she misspelled.
But that's only two of thousands and thousands of experiences. Less than one per cent of my sales. Like, a fraction of one per cent.
There are strategies that help you avoid unpleasant people here. I'm certain other sellers will share. I, however, have to go now. I have been up all night packing orders. It's Christmas and I sell toys. Oy!
