Because I've always been curious if I've had GAFers buy from me before, or if I've gotten something off you.

Some douche thought I didn't pay and gave me a negative. Fuck him. But if I didn't...I got a copy of Breath of Fire III for free!

I got a negative from gameuniverse, because I paid $15 shipped for what was listed as a "new and sealed" copy of Turok: Evolution. What I got was a disc in a paper sleeve. I left him negative feedback, and 'gameuniverse' shot back by claiming I paid late and never responded to their (nonexistant) emails. Bullshit...

I remember when I bought some DC fighting game off an Ebay store and they sent me Bang Gunship Elite. I think I complained twice and they gave me "store credit." I wrote it off as a small loss (only $5 or $6 was transacted) and gave them a neutral. I have no idea if this Bang thing is good though-I never opened it

It gives you a lower opinion of the goods, doesn't it? I tried that Turok game once, and my opinion was probably colored by the lousy experience. I couldn't stand to play it. So I sent the disc away to Ocelittle, just taped it into an envelope and sent it out...

I'll never forget the day I got my negative feedback. I was pissed for an entire month over it. Bastard never sent payment so I left him negative feedback and then he left negative back on me. I hope he's rotting somewhere. Nobody messes with my eBay feedback! :lol

It feels like I've done so much more on ebay. Guess cause I lose so many auctions.

After I lost an auction for a really rare doujinshi that I couldn't find elsewhere online, I vowed, "never again" and signed up with these guys

Feedback rating is 29, with 30 positives (two from one seller -- my only Ebay purchases to date). That's since 1998. I generally don't do a ton of stuff on EBay. Especially lately, because I think the fees and hassles are getting ridiculous, and I also hate the increased cost of postage over the last several years.

As a seller, I think pristine feedback is even more important than it is for a buyer. I think there's a lot of chill involved in leaving negatives, because you don't want to have the buyer turn around and zap you with a negative in retribution.

My philosophy is:

1) I don't post feedback until I know my customer is happy.
2) I don't post feedback unless my customer posts feedback as well (my feedback rating would be 6 or 7 points higher if everyone cared about leaving feedback).
3) I don't post negative feedback for assholes who don't pay because they've 'earned' the right to leave feedback by winning the auction. I just go through the non-paying bidder process and call it a day.

I wish EBay would allow you to set minimum ratings for bidders.

how does esnipe work and does it mean you'd always win? What's the fee structure like?

What it does is that it auto-snipes auctions for you when you provide them with the auction number from Ebay. It's not a free service though-you have to buy something called "bid points" which their program uses to calculate how much you are using their system. A better explanation:

You pay eSnipe for your auction wins with BidPoints™, a special form of eSnipe currency. Each BidPoint equals $0.01. So, for example, if you win an auction with a final price of $50, the eSnipe fee would be $0.50, which would cost you 50 BidPonts. Again, if you don't win an auction there's no fee. You buy BidPoints from us in advance in quantities of 500 or more (500 BidPoints costs $5.00). BidPoints are also available in large quantities at a discount. Our state-of-the-art system keeps track of the BidPoints you use and updates your account automatically. All you need to do is buy more BidPoints from time to time, depending on how many auctions you win.

Of course, auto-sniping doesn't guarantee a win (I've lost several auctions using it because my bids were too low), but at least you don't get charged for losing bids, so
there's nothing to worry about there

I have a feedback of around 150-60, and I'd be surprised if I hadn't sold to a Gaffer before given most of it is video game related.

I have one negative feedback from some tools who didn't pay for a ps2 system and I left negative feedback for. The problem with the ebay system is that it's totally flawed...people who rely on their feedback for their main business won't leave negative feedback because their afraid (and justly so) that people will simply leave negative feedback in retaliation. eBay won't investigate or change feedback, so it invalidates any truth measure in the whole deal.

Since April 20, 1999.

I had one guy who didn't leave feedback--the item I sold him was a rare edition of Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves. He wanted it pretty badly, but when the closing price ended up being $150 he tried to forget the auction even happened. It took me the better part of a month to settle that with him.

Yes. This is one of the reasons why I like Amazon, because everyone has to pay through them. Also, Amazon's feedback system is much better for the customer. When you can leave negative feedback for a ripoff artist and not fear retaliation, it's a much better arrangement. Unfortunately it's a lousy system for the seller, because Amazon's commission rates are more than twice what Ebay charges...

Money is no object when it comes to things I really, really want. If you're bidding against me, good luck. :P

I don't know if it was deleted or what, but I had one neutral feedback for the longest time; it didn't change the 100% rating but simply annoyed me because this woman thought I hadn't been friendly enough in my e-mails.
