Ginaz! Feedback Extortion/Abuse Policy

 

Hi!!  This is where we set the record straight on undeserved feedback, feedback abuse and extortion.  eBay has taken away the right for sellers to leave feedback on a buyers account…which makes the transaction AND feedback a little one-sided to say the least.  So, again…Here’s where we set the record straight…please review:

 

Note that eBay has recently made changes to its feedback policy that slants the system to the Buyer’s advantage.  Sellers can NO LONGER LEAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR BUYERS, which leads to Feedback abuse and extortion by unscrupulous Buyers.  eBay has taken away the ability for Sellers to effect Buyers Feedback score, thus Buyers can say and demand just about anything from Sellers with absolutely NO consequences to their actions…

 

Ginaz! has adopted a ZERO TOLERENCE for such abuse.  Ginaz! will not give into extortion threats, we would rather take the NUETRAL or NEGATIVE Feedback based on principle.  So along with the over 2600 Positive Feedbacks (as of 9/1/09), you will see a few Neutral and Negative Feedbacks left by folks who try to get something for nothing.

 

Unfortunately, eBay limits its involvement in such cases, and hides behind a bunch of canned emails within its “Trust & Safety” Program.  If you have any concerns about Ginaz! Feedback Profile, please contact us directly via Questions@Ginazsetsale.com

 

Here’s the latest list of feedback abuse by “buyers”:

I was going to leave feedback but when I got to the point of leaving the feedback, I was questioned as to whether I contacted the seller. Feedback I want to leave is neutral (should be negative). reasons a) you did not answer my question. b) I bought the item on the am of 9/9, postage not even purchased until 15/9. Service very poor in my opinion. If I do not hear from you once again I will go ahead and leave the feedback.

Dear samtuhz3734,

Hi,

Well, let's take them in order ok?

A. "I did not answer your question" - Not sure what question you're talking about...I must have missed it...it happens. I'm not sure why you continued with the purchase if this was a problem for you?

B)"Paid on 9/9, shipped on 9/15" - You're absolutely right! The latest your item should've shipped was 9/14, as indicated in the item description there is a 3 business day turn-around time...that's just a reference, not a guarantee. That week my Monday was shot because my 6 year old was starting 1st grade in school and we had some separation issues.

In any case, you need to remember that you're dealing with individuals w/real lives here on eBay...and none of us operate like Walmart or Barnes & Noble.

I'm very sorry to hear that you think my service was poor. I do the absolute best I can, as evidenced by my feedback score....but I guess you can't please everyone...you'll see a couple of those in my feedback as well:-)

So in the end, item A must not have been such a huge concern as I'm assuming you asked the question prior to buying the item, got no response, but continued w/the purchase.

Item B, yes...I was late by 1 day in shipping out the LP. Media Mail takes 9-12 days, so in worst case, I slowed down delivery by 10%.

Whatever you leave as far as eBay Feedback, I do appreciate you taking the time to write and provide your perspective in writing as opposed to me trying to figure out "why" someone was not happy based on some numerical score.

Thanks again –
G

 

After not getting anything other than an apology from Ginaz!, samtuhz3734 left the following negative feedback: paid 9/9/9 AM, postage bought 15/9/9, VERY SLOW SHIP, did NOT answer my question

 

We report…you decide.

Follow-up by melancholy-introvert (Jul-30-08 08:50):

Seller did finally respond and issue refund after feedback. I'll be removing it.

 

Too bad, but the buyer found out they were not allowed to removed feedback once left.
