I received negative feedback from a customer. I had entered the 10 hc volumes of Merlin (reprint) in the 1st edition, because the reprint was not yet in Last Dodo. It does clearly state: Please note, this is the reprint. I get an order of the first 6 volumes, which is canceled a few hours later because only then the customer sees that it is a reprint. Okay, order canceled immediately. Do I get negative feedback in the evening. That makes no sense anyway. I try to do all orders as best as possible and then this. Irritates me immensely. Is there anything that can be done?
greeting Gerard

Your feedback is still at 100%.

When responding to the negative, you could mention that the order was canceled immediately (before payment or shipping).
Personally, I'd ignore the review further, it won't hurt your reputation.

By the way, you can also add the reprints to the catalog yourself. Looks like you've done that before. It would have saved you a problem.

It remains to be seen... If the interested party is from the Netherlands or Flanders you could assume that he/she can read the notes.
If the notes were in all possible languages in the world, whatever.

But using an item as a locomotive to hang your wagon from it for a deviant (other) item ... that's really not a good idea.

Okay, you can you can quickly place something in your shop, but you will inevitably have problems with it. Reading comprehension ... not always possible. A Spaniard, for example, will not understand what your additional mention wants to make clear.

Is somewhere the same as offering a comic via an item from the tea bags section. Although it can be made universally clear there, with your own photo. With a 'similar' item, an own image could be added. A search is performed (and found) based on the properties of the item itself. And they are not correct.

I would choose to add what you offer and is not yet on LD in the catalog from now on. That way you also contribute a bit. Whoever follows will thank you for it.
If you don't do it ... then you have to take the ingratitude with it.
That's what I think of it as an outsider.

- supplement -
It also falsifies the statistics of the sales data. A first edition that normally sells for eg 50 euros ... and then you sell a reprint for 2 euros via the same item. No, really not a good idea. You can't find that out in statistics. And then another buyer thinks 'Tiens, I once bought that for 50 euros and now the lowest price is 2 euros ... I've been scammed.'

By the way, you made it very neat and clear as a comment on that feedback. cheers. True enthusiast-buyers read that, and understand that.

Indeed, pretty bland to say the least, but comfort yourself with a good explanation as you have given   and the other excellent feedbacks inspire confidence in me. And the buyer who apparently has not had any consultation with you and/or has announced that he would give negative feedback will find himself. When ordering, I always first look at the feedback given, which sometimes says something about buyers.

Everyone has fat fingers when typing ... or long toes when placing an order.
There has to be an awareness on both sides that something was wrong. We are all human. The seller has already shown above that he has learned from it. I don't think the buyer has learned anything yet.
I learned that from this, didn't I :)

Raoul do you mean the seller or the buyer in the last sentence?

Perhaps slightly different from this story, LD  has an amateur streak for buyers and sellers, unless they are professionals. Although I have been selling for decades from a collection that was once twice as large as it is now, I am still learning at times, trying to improve both for my shop and the catalog, but I remain an amateur. Buyers should also realize that mistakes can be made either before ordering and in case something is not clear, there is always that question button. With the complexity of stamps I could never sell something like this, books and comic books are manageable, but then there are quite a lot of editions of some series. You name it Suske en Wiske, I have to see if I have the right album for me. Buying is often much easier than selling.
In any case, a feedback system is fine, dealing with it is apparently difficult in all emotions. And the Forum is helpful in this too.

Raoul I think you did it on purpose to check whether there are still awake readers on the Forum .... The way you type you can never have fat fingers ...

Sometimes it is a pity that as a seller you cannot respond to positive feedback, which contains something that is not correct. After all, other prospective buyers mainly read the latest feedbacks. Not worth the juice of the cabbage, order of an English beautifully illustrated booklet with a dust jacket in brand new condition, which you can not obtain in the Netherlands. 1 euro 88 cents. Suggested that to be sent with letterbox package   and please also message if you have any questions. The invoice will be paid promptly and the booklet will be sent immediately.
This text in feedback:  Fast shipping, item in good condition as stated. This was a small booklet that was sent as a package, so shipping costs made the item expensive.

I messaged the buyer, but it didn't arrive that the postage for letter post (which seems less safe to me without proof of shipment) differs only by 0.26 and there is a difference between letterbox package and package (I did not send with a package ..) and I can't do anything about postnl rates. And then expensive? for this brand new booklet is also 6.73 euros totally cheap. I would like to explain something like that in the feedback.

Don't worry! People who read feedback used to be taught reading comprehension as a subject at school!

Harry56 Post.nl does call a letterbox parcel a parcel. That is the option that you have to check on the website to receive a letterbox package.




Apart from that, you can prevent this sort of thing by pointing out the pros and cons of the cheaper option in advance to the buyer and let him choose for himself. Then you put the more expensive option in the invoice and write that someone can of course also choose the cheaper letterbox variant, but that there is no proof of shipment. (Tip: in those cases you can always take a photo of the package so that someone can see that it was properly addressed and stamped.)

Sucazel, you are absolutely right, I must honestly say that I previously also pointed to a cheaper option if it saved 1 stamp. Here I thought 0.26 EC was exaggerated to explain that and I always put down "if there are any questions feel free to ask them" And in my conditions I already have a patch of postal explanation. But a letterbox package as I always state in the invoice must be clear enough for a buyer. My forum post was only to point out that sometimes things are written in positive feedback, which, intentionally or unintentionally, tend to indicate that you as a seller are not paying attention to a buyer's interests. In this case, it looks like the buyer has paid gigantic against their will, which is nonsense.
But as Thorgal57 states, I'm not worried any more. To be able to respond to positive feedback is, on reflection, also not a good idea, you get the phenomenon of complimenting each other again and again, or in the case of a slightly annoying text with a response from the seller, it is returned to the buyer. goes the wrong way. Well learned again....

Well, I recently received negative feedback because I canceled the order 2 months after the invoice. Some so-called buyers really don't track.

Ah, now I understand your reaction. No, after 2 months there was still no payment. I did send the buyer an email if he wanted to cancel the purchase because of the high shipping costs. He lived in the USA. But he didn't want to, but apparently he was in no rush to pay. In the past I could worry about that, but now I just accept that some people have a slightly different behavior. Fortunately, these are exceptions. Normally I have only positive experiences.

Or Paypal, Anyway, the buyer didn't want to cancel, but didn't pay either. As said, waited 2 months and then canceled the order with negative feedback as a result. I don't lose sleep over it :-).
