Title: Why is my feedback all messed up?
Post by: jangomango88 on March 01, 2013, 04:08 am
Hey, so I'm pretty much a newbie to the road, done about 8 orders in the last couple months. Recently I placed an order and was told I would have to auto finalize due to my poor feedback showing that I auto-finalize a lot. I'm unbelievably confused! I've never let an order auto finalize and always finalize the second I get my product, no idea how the seller is seeing otherwise. What could cause this and how do I check my feedback myself? Thanks

What elmo said.

And sorry to reply with a Q but i'm pretty new too - do you mean you're being asked to finalize early or asked to auto-finalize instead of whatsitcalled when it gets to 17 days and you either need to auto-finalize or 'resolve' or whatever they call it?

As far as I'm concerned you're not supposed to ever finalize early. I never have and I've only placed a few orders. See a surprising amount of people doing that in reviews but I think that's mostly international stuff... maybe someone else can enlighten us.

I FE pretty much to boost my refund rate. I got a refund of a couple of hundred after a seller went rouge, but in doing so, my refund rate was totally raised so high I started seeing clouds. Also some internationals that are trusted require FE.

Oh yea let me clear it up for ya.

So yea he asked me to finalize early due to my poor feedback. His claim was that my feedback shows that I left things auto finalize. That means he's saying that after I receive my product I don't give the seller the money and instead just let it sit for 17 days and let it go to them automatically, which is completely untrue. I've only done like 8 orders so it's not hard to look at. And no I didn't end up finalizing with him, cancelled the order instead but concerned if what he saw is actually on my profile. And now that I look at my buyer's stats thanks to you guys I realize he's full of shit, my stats say

Total transactions: 8
Total spent: PRIVATE
Refund rate: 0%
Auto-finalize rate: 0%
Member for: 3 months

So I guess case closed.

Mind sharing the vendor's name?
