as a new ebay user, i personally find it offensive that there are buyers who make limitations like buyers with 0-5 feedbacks CANNOT post a bid or buy a particular item. the basic premise with ebay is trust and this limitation is a total manifestation of the otherwise. as a new buyer, it is complete turn off..
i understand you. one thing you can do is to give assurance to seller that you are not a joybidder. leave your complete details if needed. the thing is, 90% of joybidders are those with 0-5feedbacks.
these arrogant sellers need to realize that they were once newbies and someone had to swallow their pride to bid on their items when they were feedback-less.
yes. its bad to discriminate 0 fb bidders. in my experience, hit or miss, meron naman 0 fb na nagbabayad, pero marami talaga joybidder. basta ako pag di nagbayad, file ng UPI. di ko na hinahabol, sayang lang time and effort mo pag nainis ka. =)
di ako makapag leave ng feedback "You have no transactions for which you can leave Feedback" newbie lang ako gusto ko lang mag feedback sa seller na binilhan ko ng item
Hello there, you can not blame seller who impose rules on their item.. there's a lot of joybidders here on ebay and sometimes seller have a hard time earning their positive feedback and will only ruined by joybidder who has nothing to do but to leave negative feedback. Sometimes it takes more than 3 years for us to earn these feedback only to be bidded by a joybidder and that's it. As for me, newbies are welcome but have to contact me first with their name, address and contact details before bidding.
im aware that i was once a 0 fb ebayer din kaya in my past listings wala akong nakablock or sinasabing bwal ang 0-5 feedback.. kasi meron rin namang sure buyers na naging suki ko na rin na below 5 ang fb.. kaso..
biglaan silang nagsulputan.. mga joy bidders and bogus buyers na napagtripan ata listings ko.. yung isa pa nga 2wks na di pa rin binabayaran.. hesitant naman akong irelist yung items kasi baka magleave naman ng neg fb. as much as possible i would like to avoid that. as we all do. someone outbid other bidders in 5 or 6 of my listings pero ni hi ni ho wala..i already sent around 3-5 msgs. di ko tuloy alam ang gagawin sa mga items na yun.. kaya ngaun.. im just editing my listings and buyer preferences now.. di ko lam na pwedi pla yun..another ebayer just informed me last night.. andaming nagbibid at nagbubuy sa items ko tapos di na nagpaparamdam.. 0-5 feedback sila.. haaaayyy... di naman ako namimilit na bumili sila sakin.. waaaa.. paxenxa na kung dito ko napost to.. kasi ngbrowse lang ako ng forums to seek help/insights as to how i should deal with this.. sayang din naman kasi, na outbid pa yung ibang sure buyers. or nakatengga lang yung items na di ko alam kung kukunin pa ba or what.. haaaayyy..
Please understand n these seller is just avoiding joybidders and bogus buyers. Just contact the seller and assure him/her that you are sincere in buying the item.
