Leaving negative feedback is normally seen as the last option. However there are a few points you need to keep in mind before you leave it.
Most importantly, the other party will normally have the option to return negative feedback to you. So if, you grossly concerned about receiving negative feedback to your account then you should either wait for the other party to leave feedback first, wait until after ninety days is up and then leave it using the techniques described above or consider dropping the matter completely.
If your still determined to leave negative feedback then you need to keep eBay’s guidelines in mind. If you violate any of these the other party can apply to eBay to have the feedback removed.
So, keep in mind the following points.
- Most importantly do not include any contact details within your feedback comment.
- Do not allow the feedback comment to contain profane, vulgar, obscene, or racist language or adult material.
- Do not make any references to eBay, PayPal or law enforcement organisation investigation.
- Do not leave feedback comment contains links
Additionally if you are a winning bidder and have left feedback for a seller, who later files an unpaid item dispute you must respond to this, otherwise eBay will have the right to remove your feedback. eBay now removes feedback automatically from buyers who do not participate in any unpaid item dispute.
