First, let me say that yes, as a buyer OR A SELLER you should be able to leave an opinion on the transaction. However, Ebay only allows the buyer to leave negative feedback. Also an opinion does not give any one the right to call another a liar, thief, or scam artist. That is libel. Also as the mediator in the buyer/seller relationship Ebay has a responsibility to both parties equally. In my case the buyer filed a completely false claim that was found IN MY FAVOR. In this claim made by the buyer, I am accused of not having the right to sell what I was selling. More specifically, I am accused of not having a clear title to sell a vehicle I had. I forwarded the title to Ebay and proved this to be inaccurate and they found in my favor. However, the seller still left feedback stating I was a liar, thief and scam artist. Ebay refuses to remove this feedback stating that it doesn't fall within the feedback abuse policy. I just wonder if you think I am being frivolous or ridiculous? As I said, an opinion is one thing, but to say such things about someone especially when the grounds for such remarks are false, is irresponsible both on part of the buyer and more importantly EBAY!! They have a responsibility to investigate such things and to act accordingly. This would truly be a neutral stance but this is not the case. THAT IS WHY I will be suing Ebay as well as the buyer for the negative feedback I received. I am doing a search on the possibility of suing a buyer and Ebay for their feedback policies.
