Purchased a item and paid $19.97 for postage. The buyer would not upload the tracking number when asked, because he charged me $19.97 but mailed it with a $1.00 stamp. I got the item, but felt kind of ripped off because of what I was overcharged. I tried to give the seller a chance to make it right, but also threatened to leave negative feedback if they did not attempt to make it right. They said they did not give 2 F's about negative feedback, so they left me a positive feedback that says this. "Beware doucebag scam buyer!!!" Can anything be done about this? or should I just be happy I got my item but got ripped off $18.97? Can I report this seller somehow?
As said earlier by femmefan, tracking is more for the seller's protection. But a good seller in my mind will provide the tracking number to the buyer.
You agreed to the amount you paid and you have no grounds to complain to eBay unless the seller specifically stated on the selling page the parcel would be sent with a higher class of delivery or tracked. If they did not, then you have grounds. Considering the message you sent to the seller it made you look like you were extorting him. He can now turn around and use that against you.
Both of you come off looking bad.
I would recommend you contact eBay to have his positive feedback removed and then walk away. Make sure you add this seller to your block list.
In case he reports you, keep your exchanges saved, you may need it.
