Is it unethical to give negative feedback to someone on ebay if you do get your order?

"I had a nice little business going but the moment I hit 99.89% positive the orders stopped, my partner left me and I now live on the street. "

Ultimately they can respond to your feedback and, if a seller had only ever received one bad feedback, I’d be more inclined to think you were the one with the issue not the seller. 

The seller can also dispute the feedback and if they are in good standing with eBay then there’s every chance it’ll be removed. I’ve had three feedback removed from eBay all from spurious moans about people being either entirely unreasonable about postage time (bought on a Sunday, delivered on a Wednesday) or two people trying to con me out of a product. 

You’ve been adequately compensated, the seller sounds like they’re genuinely sorry and yet you want to punish them further by leaving a smart ar*e feedback. Maybe have a think and consider if you’re the problem not them. 

No, grow up, move on

It'll be tears before bedtime when your Mum finds out you've been using her account

Thought the schools had gone back this week ?

The power to end his career sure

How late is late dispatch and what is this so called terrible excuse

thats what neutral feedback is for. "item was as described but slow dispatch. seller gave extra item as compensation" something to that effect.. but depends how late it was and what timeframe they promised it in... whether they had a good reason for the late dispatch etc. if it was weeks late and youre genuinely upset then say so. especially if you had to continously chase them up to get the order sent. if it was only a few days then maybe dont be so harsh. its hard to judge without the whole story..

You sound like a customer nobody wants or needs. You got what you paid for, give the bloke a break ffs

I've had exactly two negative feedbacks in 15 years of selling. Neither ended my career, and both were removed. Believe it or not, you are not the great and mighty kingmaker you think you are.

OP be like....

I ran this through google translate and it came back with "if i order something and then actually receive it is there really a problem"

if you are "still no satisfied" - send it back along with the extra thing you got and buy it from someone else. simple

Yes, to the question in the title.

Crush your enemies. Have them fall at your feet and take their horses and hear the lamentation of their women. That is best in life!

Was it actually late according to ebay's terms and requirements or was it within the range that was given when you bought it but just took longer than you'd have preferred?

Normally leave negative for scammers or sellers that disappear. Neutral for unsatisfied service. Positive for anything else.

Just give him the benefit of the doubt, hes compensated by giving an extra product which other ebayers in a similar position wouldn't do. Usually I look at the sellers recent feedbacks and then decide to buy or not.

If the item you ordered was needed by a specific date say a birthday/anniversary date and it got delivered after the date/s then you may have a case. But if in his feedbacks others have said the say thing that the seller delivered late in some cases, then yeah he deserves it.

I tend to look at what kind of feedback people leave for others when deciding whether or not to accept a best offer...

If you're one of the people that leaves constant negatives etc, then you'd end up on my block list.

beautiful piece of trolling

What item did you buy and what was the free gift, I'm nosey like that.

Will leaving negative feedback change your life situation at all? (edited)

Negative feedback is for sellers who lie, sell fake items, deliberately cancel orders due to the bids not getting high enough, or sell not as described items AND don't take steps to resolve.

Even if you don't get the item, you shouldn't just give negative if given a reasonable explanation, eg courier lost it...
