I totally agree with Todd here, especially when he says “I’m not amazon or Walmart.” I used to sell a lot on eBay. I’m one guy. Had a 5 day shipping and handling parameter in all my auctions, because I make “one” trip a week to he post office. People that don’t sell stuff often don’t realize how time consuming it is to pack 20 things and schlep them to the post office.

I was very protective of my rating and feedback... and I’d do the exact same thing Todd did, and I’d still do it today, to protect my rating. If I got a bad vibe from you... asking for tracking or expedited shipping in a “ya better do it” tone, stupid questions about condition of an item, whatever.... you were instantly blocked. It only takes a couple bad feedbacks in a row to ruin your rating there, and with ebays newer policies/rules/what have you, there absolutely is no seller protection.

Nowadays when I buy stuff on eBay, the auto response emails from the seller are ridiculous. I feel like I’m being courted by a nurse in a hospital. The sellers are all scared of negative feedback and getting a demotion from eBay. It’s silly.

So yes, I totally agree with Todd here. He has every right to protect his eBay account as a seller. Don’t take it personally. I think asking him directly before going on a pinside rant would have yielded better results for you.
