DNST list on EBAY

DNST list on EBAY

Actually, there is the possibility that some kind of list of 'bad sellers/buyers' exists somewhere. I collect many things other than pins, and in many of those hobbies, there is maintained a 'do not deal with' list. These people are specifically named and an example of what they did is provided (sometimes it's just a username on the forum, other times it's their eBay names... Usually where ever the problem took place). Generally, it's because of people blatantly ripping someone off vs selling fake/counterfeit items, but the concept is the same. I only have about 100 people on my blocked list, and probably half of them are people I've never even dealt with... But because I know they ripped off other people, I don't want them to have anything to do with my auctions.

People always say there's the potential for 'legal action', but the response is usually 'This person ripped me off (or sold me a fake item). PLEASE, I'd love to see them in court'. To date, nothing like this has ever happened in the groups I'm a part of (and I honestly wish it WOULD happen with the people I've put on those lists...). If someone is engaging in illegal activity, they aren't going to try to press charges against someone for slander... It's a sad thing, really, that there's someone trying to con people in every hobby...

As for this seller putting the OP on a list, if anything, it's possible this seller has multiple eBay IDs, and blocked the bidder on all of them... No harm done there.

Edit:
Interesting find on the eBay forums from July:

Sounds familiar, and it seems this person has never dealt with this seller before (tho they stated in a later post that the seller has horrible feedback, so it worked to their advantage in the end). I think one of two things might be true:
1- there's a list among scrapper sellers of eBay IDs of people that complain about their activity. If this exists, you WANT to be on this list since they will have blocked you from bidding on their fraudulent auctions.
2- This is the same seller and he just likes telling people this to scare them into thinking they've been punished for returning fake pins... (Although since this poster had never dealt with this seller's ID before, I'd be curious to know where he got the eBay ID... Unless the buyer had returned something to an alternate ID of the seller's)

Sounds like bullying/scare tactics being used by what are essentially criminals...

Edit 2:
And I just found a fairly large list of Good/Bad eBay sellers on another Disney pin forum... So there is definitely at least one list... Hopefully this is maintained by honest sellers trying to oust those selling scrappers, but you never know who might get on the list...

You might want to refer to the official Ebay advice on managing bidders and buyers. This advice provides instructions on how to bar certain Ebay IDs from bidding on your products. Additionally, as others have said, there is nothing preventing somebody from maintaining a forum or other place to collect Ebay user IDs. In fact, if I were a serious Ebay seller you can bet that I'd be looking for such lists because your feedback score means a lot. People like me will look at every single negative or neutral review and take them seriously.

There is a list on another very popular disney forum that lists good and bad Ebay vendors based on posts within the thread. There are green, orange, yellow, and red Ebay user IDs.

My personal experience with Ebay sellers is that I look for 100% positive. I had one guy who I bought a bunch of pins from. One of the ones from the first order looked suspect. I couldn't be certain though. I contacted the seller and asked him to inspect the other pins carefully before shipping them out because this particular pin looked like it could be counterfeit. He offered to let me keep the pin and refund my money. Ultimately, I purchased more pins from him and he sent me a free one. He inspected more pins and canceled two of the transactions because he felt the pins were not up to par, quality wise.
 
Ok, so, I was bidding on items from ANOTHER seller, and because I had opened cases on seller X, seller Y got rid of all of my bids. I do know what I said and what the seller put on his bid cancelation justification. Telling me I am wrong when I am going off of information that sellers have available to them is just wrong. There is a new drama to all of this, which I will put in a new post.
 
Dalisair - there could be one person having multiple accounts?

Yes, there is a forum (DISBoards) that people maintain a good/bad ebay sellers (re: bad pins)
 
Unno about a list but I'm sure the shady sellers communicate amongst themselves to make sure they keep as much neg feedback away as possible

I also know sellers don't seem to like people who buy too many pins from them :/ I had one seller tell me she wasn't allowing me to buy or bid on her pins anymore because I was winning everything and it "wasn't fair to other bidders" Even though I pay as soon as all bidded on auctions are over :/

Ebay has too many issues and drama for me, I only buy there now if I'm absolutely desperate for something

Actually they do. To get your refund you have to give eBay proof you have sent the item back. It also depends on the return policy of each seller.

Actually you don't. If you believe something to be a knock off you are not required to return it. In fact if you knowingly mail a COUNTERFIT item you are breaking the law. I have personal experience with this on eBay and I received a full refund on two seperate auctions for clear fake "random lots"
 

That was most likely the return policy of the person you bought from. He/She obviously knew they were selling fake pins. But if you claimed they were fake but the seller insisted they were real, you'd be required to ship it back for your refund.
 
Maybe I can help here. When you sell on the Bay you can set up your account to refuse people who bid that have x amount of negative feedback in x amount of time. I do sell on there and I think ours is set up to disallow any bidders who have 2 negatives within the last month. (This would only exclude people with a pattern of getting negatives in our opinion) Others would set theirs up how they want it. Maybe the person just has their account set up not to accept bids from someone that fits your specific criteria. Of course I do not know for sure but this scenario seems like it could fit for this situation. I don't know of any list. I do not read the forums and seldom sell pin "lots", just individual pins or sets and my prices are often at or below cost as we sell to pay bills. Since it seems the Bay no longer allows a seller to give negative feedback I don't know it this would still apply or not. It might be that instead of a negative now it would be "a reported buyer"... don't know.
 

Feel free to argue that with eBay. At this point, I am in trouble because I didn't know the pins were counterfeit before I bought them.
