negative feedback gets results?

[dancingleaf]

well remember that veil I ordered & it never arrived?

I tried over and over to get in touch with her, complained to etsy - nothing - no response.

I broke down and left negative feedback for this person last week.
then 2 days later I got an inquiry....hey did the veil ever arrive?

Today I got a notice from the US post with a tracking number saying it shipped today.

hmmm.  Guess she wants to have 100% positive feedback.

I'll wait to get excited when it actually arrives.
Still thinking about ordering blanks and dye from Dharma trading and doing it myself in the future.

I've had the same thing happen. Tried to get ahold of the seller through various methods, made a complint to GothAuctions, and when I left negative feedback detailing the lack of communication from the seller and that I never got my item, she in turn left negative feedback on me saying that I was rude and not to deal with me. *shrugs* I tried to take it higher with GothAuctions, but they said there was nothing they could do to resolve the dispute.

What did I learn? I look at seller's history now, with a very close eye. I always read through positive, neutral and negative feedback, as well as why it was left. I also look at the nature of the positive feedback, as frequently people only post things that seem almost bot generated, frequently " A++++ Seller/ buyer".

I typically do that too - and everything about this one was great veil, fast shipping. Oh well better to get burned on a low price item than one of my more $$ ones. I was tempted to blast her on some of the more well known bellydancer websites, Bhuz, Tribe but hadn't yet.

And yes - I've coached a few things in less than glowing terms myself, while still being positive. So these are - nice fans rather then GREAT or FANTASTIC.

Sorry you got burned - hope my incident resolves itself better.
