Title: Ebay - Feedback
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 23 September 2016, 13:52:32
What is the time limit on leaving feedback on ebay?

The reason  ask is that  have (Over many years) bought loads of stuff from china without much hassle at all.  but just recently  am finding that some of the sellers wait about 2 weeks and then send a message asking for me to understand that there will be delays etc etc and then as expected their item never arrives and  lose out as it s too late to apply for a refund.

Typical at the moment, couple of items ordered on the 12/13th of Sept, expected delivery date s the end of oct.

I dont know if there is a limit, I too have had items from china where I've left feedback and not recieved and it stays like that.

I just archive them and forget

I go back to them stating that they're breaking the terms of contract and to supply by original date, responding with confirmation within 24 hours and then open a case when they do not reply. They soon reply.

Raise it with ebay, demand a refund in full and then leave shitty feedback once the case is closed in your favour ;)

Sounds about right then, they keep in touch and put a postal delivery date on so that it co-insides with the feedback shutoff time.

I do.  Just had 2 where I left negative feed back regards no delivery and poor communication, as soon as feed back was left I get offered a full refund in exchange for good feedback.

Recently I have had a couple of items from China that were faulty and I wrote to the suppliers saying that before I left feedback I would give them the opportunity to respond, and in both cases they replied immediately, saying that they would re-send a tested replacement and not to bother to return the original. The replacements arrived promptly, so I left positive feedback.

There's a similar thing happens on amazons marketplace. Almost immediately you place the order, the seller marks it as dispatched, so you can't cancel the order. Then it takes a week to arrive, meaning it was dispatched about three days later than shown.

A lot of the time on Amazon the estimated delivery time is quoted, when see it`s two weeks delivery from the UK I give it a miss because something is plainly wrong.

Putting the feedback aside, theres a 30 Day limit from (cant remember which) either point of sale date, or advertised dispatch date, in order that you can open a case and claim a refund, after the said 30 days you lose out, common thing with China these days, they keep you hanging on to avoid the refund.

Pretty much universally, ebay is full of people who lack the skills/discipline to run as a business - generally these are the ones complaining about the fee structure, and that PayPal should be free, or "only get to the Post Office once a week". The remainder are pure scum - either purposely fraudulent, or trying to make a few quid on the side but not being arsed to actually post the item promptly.

So anyone using ebay must purchase with the knowledge that if anything arrives at all, it won't be quite what you ordered.

And despite the near perfect English during presale queries, when you phone these Chinese sellers (because they wont respond to emails), "no speak inglish"

Granted, 95% of the time, if you get in quick enough, ebay refund, but the window is small once the thing has taken 6 weeks to arrive.
