[venugopal56]

After giving an offer like below and after having purchased the item how can the seller try blackmailing,in order to get a Positive Feedback, even before he has delivered the item? Please also see below the email I received from the seller even before he has despatched the item. And what about the "Free Gifts Worth Rs.750/-"?

Hello Venugopal,

The seller is in violation of eBay's Feedback Policy. What he is doing is called Feedback extortion.

Report him to eBay via the Contact us link which can be found under the Help section on any eBay page.

Hi,

This is a gross violation of feedback policy. Also once put its almost impossible to change Feedback ratings (other than a mutual withdrawal).

Very bad seller X-(

Well I doubt that the Ebay team will take any action against this seller, even if he is in gross violation of their policies, after all they have their share in all sales on Ebay.Ebay is just as much of a fraud as some of the sellers on Ebay you can not depend upon them.

Ebay has now de-registered this selller but how can they advice me now "not to make payment to him becasue he is not a registered seller with them"even after they taking verifying documents from me and aproving payment through PaisaPay.

Such things must be stopped by ebay. Good to know the seller registration has been cancelled.
