Can anyone explain..... (Ebay related)

[BERGS2]

how this guy has positive feedback?

http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFe...

I'm only interested as he's currently top biddder on my BMW....

how do i (politely) cancel his bid?

[KrazyIvan]

Sellers cant leave negative feedback, so have left positive but with negative comments.

ETA - Contact e-bay now, showing them his feedback and see if they will :-

A) Remove his bid
and or
B) Remove his account.

He may well be a dealer (all his seem to be for cars) trying to screw up other peoples auctions, to try and give himself a better chance to sell his, under another account.

Why politely cancel his bid - Just cancel it, and then block him

OK allow me to re-phrase:

Just cancel it. Had a similar time waster a few weeks back and are waiting for the case to be auto closed in my favour so at least I will get a credit for the listing.

No need to contact eBay - just cancel his bid and block him using the online forms.

I am surprised he has not complained to eBay to get the feedback removed as you are not allowed to leave "positive" feedback which is negative.

search for "cancel bid" and "block bidder" in the help section of eBay and it will bring up the forms.

Wow , I've not seen anyone with feedback as bad as that before. Its surprising that he keeps using the same account.

It's even more surprising that he's not been reported and removed from ebay all together!

Why do these people even bother, have they really got nothing better to do with their time than this?!

I thought this was the case. Sold something a few months back and tried to leave bad feedback, but couldn't. Surely being able to leave bad feedback helps Ebay in general stop timewaster, and weed out bad buyers?

thats is wierd? if the sellers had just made a non paying bidder complaint he would have been kicked off after 3 of them ??

When listing high value items it also helps if you only allow bidders who have a CC registered with ebay.
