Does anyone have any suggestion(s) as to what to do about someone who consistently posts negative feedback over 1 transaction? I feel as if I'm being stalked by a feedback psychopath. It's a very long story, but a bidder who has given me nothing but problems from the beginning, no matter what I've done to help him, is still leaving me negative comments. Of course, this only affects my rating number once, but every time he does this it just brings the whole mess back to the top of my feedback. He has told outright lies. He has serious problems and I don't want to deal with him further. I have blacklisted him from my auctions. I don't know if writing Yahoo will help or not, but I'm considering that. Is there any limit to the time negative feedback can be posted? Any advice would be appreciated.

I know this type of person.. My suggestion is, when the person leaves feedback, don't reply to it, ignore it, the person may leave more feedback, but once the person realizes you aren't going to respond, most likely they will tire of it and move on.

Yea, I had one on a record on Amazon. He bid on a record that stated I didn't ship Internationally, hazzled me to death on the shipping.So I refused to sell him the record,he started with the comments on my feedback,then started with the e-mails.I finally had to have Amazon contact him.Meanwhile, This guy even tryed sending half the money trying to get me to accept it. I sent it back.I finally had to block his e-mails,so he changed his ID and started again.Some of these people are strange.

I have had this idiot from New York who has made over 50 ids and has become a pest bidding all over Yahoo Auctions. He is a minor no doubt, but he enjoys bidding on 'Adult related items'.
My best advice is to simply ignore them. You have to understand, 'these people or sub-humanoids probably lack attention' and believe it or not becoming a pest & getting a response even though its a negative response from you is the highlight of the day for them. Once they know they will not get any attention anymore, they will seek another person who is willing to spend a few minutes yelling at them.
