    Default eBay question

    About a month ago, I ordered an LP from a guy and didn't receive the package until nearly a month later; I contacted the seller about it before it arrived and he said that he had really been running behind on shipping. Since the record and jacket were in near mint condition, I only left him neutral feedback. Today, I received this message from him:

    Hello,

    I'm very sorry to have taken so long to get the Nebula record to you, but now I'm having major problems selling things on Ebay and I think that it could be do to the neutral feedback that you left me. Do you think that if I gave you $20 you could remove the feedback? Please let me know.

    Thanks
    Has this happened to anyone before? Should I accept the $20 or is this a hoax to get me to delete the feedback?

    Accept the $20. After he pays then remove the feedback.

    No, fuck him - if he is trying to run a business HE has to meet his shipping promises. He should put on his current auctions that it could take up to a month or so to receive your product.

    Sometimes independent sellers get behind on shipping, and sometimes places like Amazon do too.

    Does his other feedback indicate late shipping? I guess if it is a habitual thing, the guy just needs to learn better.

    Why not get an extra $20 for the deletion?

    Don't do it, tell him to ship things on time if he wants positive feedback. He's lucky you were nice enough to leave only neutral.

    He sounds super shady. His selling problems likely have nothing to do with ONE neutral feedback you left him. I have 2 negatives (one deserved, one not) and I don't have any problems selling because I have over 350 ratings and it's TWO lousy negatives. That's it. If he has a lot of neutral or neg feedback that's his problem, not the one you left him. If there is only one and it's yours, still....you have a right to your opinion.

    Tell the guy to shove the $20 up his ass. Is $20 really worth your dignity? If you truly want to remove the feedback, eBay has a way to mutually retract feedback, just do that, if you WANT, and leave this cretin to his own devices.

    My response:
    This sounds reasonable. I will be more than willing to remove the neutral feedback once I receive the $20.
    I sold out, didn't I guys?

    Get the $20, then don't remove the feedback. Win-Win.

    Notice there was no question mark because I didn't really need a response to know the facts of the matter.

    I buy LPs because I am a materialistic person. If I'm going to purchase music, I want something big and bulky to show myself that I did so

    Oh christ please don't notice the lack of punctuation.

    Unless yours is the only feedback on there, I doubt ONE neutral would hurt anything. I buy from people with negative and neutral feedback as long as their positive is 95% or more. If they have 10,000 sales and they have 300 negatives, that's 97% positive.

    Taking a month to ship something is not cool unless it says in the listing that it can take 2-4 weeks.

    The listing said 2-9 days, so yeah, it was pretty uncool.
