I did nothing wrong. Buyer simply bid on listed item but asked for a different size immediately after purchase. I did not have the other size and suggested the buyer try the one they did in fact purchase, as it might fit. I received no further correspondence from buyer - just negative feedback stating that I had lied about sizing. I have spent the last 6 months trying to get ebay to remove the feedback. As far as I am concerned, publicly lying and defaming my service should not be allowed on ebay. I too have been a victim of sellers negative feedback. I did nothing wrong.

It never came, so the buyer left negative feedback, ruining my 100% perfect feedback, and apparerently left all zeroes for my DSRs, causing me to lose my 40% discount on ebay fees, which will cost me well over $100.

The seller WILL lose business because of this feedback blemish. All of Ebay's new feedback policies are skewed to protect the buyer and bring in new buyers, without concern for keeping their current clients--the sellers. A vindictive customer can undo years of hard work to establish feedback. I agree that when money is refunded, leaving negative feedback should no longer be an option. I too hope he wins.

I understand entirely why they don't want to get involved but while Mr Jones' actions now aren't going ot do him any favours (as you say), I'm not sure he did anything wrong before this. Perhaps when monies are refunded the facility to leave feedback should be removed.
