Just before Xmas I listed a few of my son's video games. All fine, however one buyer messaged me to say that he thought the game was "good" not "very good" as described and he would have to leave me neutral feedback. I didn't want this and as I am no expert in gaming I ended up just refunding and telling him to keep the game - it wasn't a huge amount and I am very protective of my feedback. He left feedback saying "thanks for the refund" and having looked at my DSR report I know he left low stars (there was only 1 and it was in category video games). I felt a bit niggled and have looked at the feedback he has left for others. Now I see he has done the refund thing several times as well as leaving negs for other sellers (maybe they didn't give him a free item!!) Feeling quite cross and wondering whether to report him to ebay. I don't want to start something that will end up causing me grief though and my stars are still 4.9 so hasn't done bad damage. Is there any way of me leaving him feedback which outs him as a devious twat? I haven't left him any yet but I know I can't leave neg for a buyer or pos with neg feedback but could I word it to warn others? Has anyone reported someone and what happened. Is it anonymous or does the person know who has complained?

Could I leave feedback that said " I have blocked this bidder" or "read feedback left for others" or something like that or would this be considered inappropriate by ebay? This is the sort of person that ruins ebaying.

no you can't - you are only allowed to leave a positive comment, it is against the rules to leave a neg statement on a positive rating. And next time you must ask for a return before you refund. Stops unscrupulous buyers getting refunds when there is nothing wrong with the item.

Put: "buyer paid promptly but alleged item not as described so I gave refund"

But you can name & shame here so I can check for myself what kind of Fback he leaves and put him on my BBL.

On the first page of his feedback left for others - 4 negatives left and has got 3 refunds with positives left and that is the first page. Well I have blocked him. LLjkk I will message you with the name for your BBL.
