You want to know more about Bad Feedback we received ? (most buyers read the bad feedback to get a clear idea of the seller). 
Here the complete explanation of some of the Bad and Neutral feedback we received in the past (we will update this page when needed).


Giving feedback is not a game.  Since Ebay have absolutely no intention to help honest sellers to solve their bad feedback problems, we decided to put our bad feedback messages in this Page and explain a little more why we got those bad or neutral feedback and why they are unfair.   Our new buyers have the right to know the truth and we cannot leave bad buyers guide our future customers.

We get tons of testimonials about how our customers are satisfied by their purchase, we have tons of repeat customers. Most people take time to test our products and we are always standing behind our products, we give 30 money back refund to every single buyers who request a RMA (return merchandise authorisation), we help all our customers who ask questions inside 24 hours (except week-end).  There absolutely no good reason to leave a bad feedback and in most case it is a misunderstanding of the buyer who don't take time to test the product or don't read the return procedure.

FEEDBACK COMMENTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

CONCLUSION

Negative feedback ratingI will not do business with him again under no circumstances This person purchase a yagi antenna on ebay and we sent this one.  Then he decided that she don't want the product and instead of sending back for refund she refused the package.  (this mean that we have to pay the shipping fees to get the product back because of his OWN mistake).  If a product is defective we refund shipping to send back but we will not pay shipping fees for someone who don't know what he want!   We already refund the initial shipping charge when a product is returned but we don't have to assume the shipping charge to send back.  Moreover, this is international transaction and she never asked for return procedure which mean this will cost brokerages fees and taxes.  We need to abandon the product because of those fees so we have been fooled by a customers who not follow the rules.  She don't want to discuss about this, she said that we are the seller and we need to assume those fees while it is clearly stated in our Ebay auctions that you must send Email to get the return procedure and RMA number. We are always pleased to help and standing behind our products, but we are not your daddy and we don't have to pay for your own mistakes. When you try to let us pay fees engaged because of your own mistakes we no longer talk about a fair transaction... we talk about FRAUD ATTEMPT.
Negative feedback ratingVery Poor Customer Service! No Tech Support! No Phone! No English! No Help!!

    We sent 13 messages with technical help to this customer! What else we can do?
We helped this guy with not less than 13 emails. He was upset because we don't give technical help through phone.  This person want a perfect helpguide with 1000 of questions and answer to all possible problems in the whole universe!   It is impossible to give satisfaction to such buyers.   We told him 3 times to verify his password...   He finally said he got password problems and we never helped him to solve his problem!     I don't thing sending 13 emails to try to solve a problem deserve a negative feedback (especially when the buyer finally got it to work as described). Read our technical messages and please understand that we are still human!   We cannot imagine all the different problems you may have but we are always helping our customers.  So instead of blaming us for your own problems take into consideration that the product have been fully tested before shipping and if a problem occur it is probably a manipulation problem on your side.
Negative feedback ratingSoftware crashed my computer…10mile range embellished…seller blamed it on me.

      To put it in other words….This item is a piece of caca……
We have sold around 10 000 of Yagi antennas worldwide so far.  This is the first time ever that someone give me such ridiculous feedback.   He said we completely crashed his computer with our device and he needed to format the hard drive.   He is using windows vista (a protected O.S. which never allow you to do something that can make your computer to crash).  Anyway it is impossible that a driver installed on your computer corrupt the whole computer (unless your computer was already unstable). We have seen blue screen on some vista computers, but this is a physical problem with other devices in your computer.  The fact that the computer crash right after you plug the antenna doesn't mean that the product is defective (something else previously installed on your computer is probably the problem).  We fully tested our devices under all Operating system and we know they work fine with most configuration.
Negative feedback ratingcould not set it up !

    It is so easy to leave a negative without asking for help!
We never got message from this buyer.  Even after contacting him when we have seen his negative.  This buyer never replied!   We cannot help people who don't want to be helped! Always ask for help before leaving a negative. We will solve the problem in ALL cases. We have never seen a problem that we cannot solve after several years of business.
Neutral feedback rating5 weeks to receive my item, not even a good product.
  • Reply by innovativedevice (Apr-19-09 20:22):
    We are NOT responsible of slow delivery, and we have 30 day money back
We are not responsible of everything!  We are not the shipping company.  Like you can clearly see in the feedback system, you cannot evaluate the transit time in your feedback.  If we takes 5 weeks before sending the package it is our fault... but it is never the case because we send the package inside 24-48 hours.  Our part of the shipping process is always respected. Please put their frustration in the feedback!  You need to remember that feedback have a big impact on the seller so you need to evaluate the right way.   You can let us know your insatisfaction about a slow shipping process... or ask before buying for faster shipping method, but never leave a feedback for something that we have no control on.
Negative feedback ratingis it ultra long range, it is not.. fake made and.or think, not works, dont, buy

    0 Feedback rating No communication he don't want to get helped What else to say
This is a new Ebay buyer who never took time to ask about his problem. How many times we will have to say that you need to ask for help. We are always pleased to help (if you take time to communicate with us)
Negative feedback ratingWasn't up to its exspections, not reconmending it to others

  • Reply by innovativedevice (Apr-06-09 11:02):
    NOT EVEN TAKE TIME TO ASK ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM! Bad manipulation = bad feedback
Again, not took time to ask for help How many times we will have to say that you need to ask for help. We are always pleased to help (if you take time to communicate with us)
Neutral feedback ratingWireless card is brokenbut still works.No response to 2nd email abt broken card.

  • Reply by innovativedevice (Apr-02-09 13:18):
    Now I understand what you mean!!! I send you an email to solve this now.
A good clear message always help to know what's going on!  If there physical problem with a product and you can send a photo this will also help a lot. Please give us detailed information when you ask for help, if we don't understand what you mean we will answer other buyers first while we are trying to figure out what you means... and if we are still not able to understand we will ask for more info.  Which mean it takes more time to be answered and you will still need to provide us additional information.
Negative feedback ratingmade in wood,not for outside use!,parts not solid shaki in wind,fell down,broken
  • Reply by innovativedevice (Mar-24-09 06:42):
    PVC foam is not WOOD, This survive hurricane! why not contacting us about prob
PVC foam is not wood,   PVC foam is water resistant, UV proof with good flexibility.  This is a very good product to build antenna. The fact that you don't know how it is made does not mean it is crap!    If the antenna fell down it is probably because of your own mistake, you need to fix the antenna... we will not go on your roof to hold it tight!!! Frustrated buyers send feedback which does not make sense!   Take 3 good air breath before leaving your feedback and you will see things becore clear!
Neutral feedback ratingUSB 24dbi Yagi Ant DID NOT work right. Returned Refunded, out return postage.
  • Reply by innovativedevice (Mar-17-09 08:32):
    This is UNFAIR, You got help and refund You were aware of the 30 days money back
    • Follow-up by gergro (Mar-17-09 09:39):
      SORRY your outdoor Ant was out preformed by a 6dbi indoor ant @ ground level! :{
This buyer have not read the auction before buying the product, he sent neutral because he did not get refund of the shipping fees to send back.  (we refund the entire transaction including initial shipping charge but the buyer need to pay the shipping to send back). Furthermore, he won't agree to cancel the transaction because he want to get the shipping charge to send back... this is called EXTORSION.
He is also not satisfied because he said the product is outperformed by a 6dbi indoor antenna.  This is a Highly directional antenna, if you don't aim in the right direction you will not get strong signal, 6dbi antenna is a cheap antenna who can not even catch signal at 500ft away while our strong yagi antenna take signal several miles away, we tested his antenna and work fine so it is a bad manipulation, he probably put the antenna straight in the air like a regular omnidirectional antenna and not took time to read our help files. 
Conclusion: We got this neutral for absolutely nothing.  A few minutes of test would solve this problem but he preferred to send back without further test and put a neutral with unfair message.
Neutral feedback ratingOn a scale of 1 to 10 I give 3
  • Reply by innovativedevice:
    A bit of help and your 3/10 can reach 15/10 if only you take time to CONTACT US!
This buyer have a feedback rating of (1), he never contacted us to solve his problem so how can we know he got problems. Conclusion: There always a solution, our antennas works fine and when you get poor result there must be a manipulation problem. Talking with the seller solve a lot of problems and transform a neutral into a highly positive feedback EVERYTIME!
Negative feedback ratingno good anteena did not get a refund no one answered my calls or emailed me back

  • Reply by innovativedevice (Mar-07-09 17:48):
    WE ANSWERED 2 DAYS AGO, read your email instead of sending neg for no reason.
We answered to this buyer the same day (inside 24 hours) but we got a "FAILURE DELIVERY" 2 days after we sent the message so there was no way for us to know he never got the answer.  We sent him several message directly through "MY MESSAGE" after we got this negative and never got answer.  So he is fast to leave a negative because he did not get an answer but he is not able to answer when we ask him a question! Conclusion: If you do not get an answer after 24 hours, send another message to let us know.  We have seen many customers who got their answer in their spam folder. We always answer to all emails so if you do not get an answer it is not because we don't want to answer but only because there a problem with your message somehow.
Negative feedback ratingitem not send netx two after paid

  • Reply by innovativedevice (Mar-01-09 11:44):
    YOU asked for additional cable, we wait for the payment, What all this mean?
This is a very frustrating bad feedback.   The customer paid for the product right away but asked to add cable to the order AFTER the payment was made so instead of sending the product without the added Item we told him how to send the additional funds to send everything together.
No answer from the buyer... and suddenly he come back totally upset because the package has not been shipped yet (3 days later, on saturday!).  When we told him we were still waiting for his answer for the additional cable he became upset saying that he want the product right now and we are a bad seller for not sending the product right away! 
So we simply got a bad feedback because we help the buyer saving fees on shipping... I know perfectly that if we were sending the package without the additional cable he would also send negative saying that he asked for additional product and we failed to answer his request... so this was truly a lose-lose situation,  there was absolutely no way for us get a Positive from this buyer!
Conclusion: Please wait before paying when you ask for additional Item... it can avoid misunderstandings
Negative feedback ratingITEM "lost" IN THE MAIL. NEVER RECEIVED YAGI AND NO REFUND. BE CAREFUL!!!
  • Reply by innovativedevice (Feb-17-09 17:41):
    Delivery proof with signalture, paypal refund me, he don't want to discuss...
    • Follow-up by gcb12595 (Feb-18-09 07:54):
      QUOTE from his email..."You are stupid! get a life LOSER!" ask me 4 his email!
Package sent with delivery confirmation and his name was on the delivery signature.  We got proof that he got the package and Paypal agreed with us.  We were about to send another antenna as a courtesy when we received this bad feedback.  He don't even take time to wait until we solve his problem.   Yes I said he was Stupid... and yes I still think that this guy need to get a life!  I still can not believe that I got a bad feedback for this!   Did not get time to help him... And after this bad feedback and being threaten by this bad buyer I am fed up to solve his problem. Conclusion: We have tons of good buyers who know that a shipping problem may occur sometimes and they give us time to solve the problem.  But we cannot afford someone who blame us and threaten us because of a shipping problem (we are seller we are not the carrier!).  With thousands of packages sent every years a shipping problem can happen and if you are not able to wait until we solve your problem then there is nothing else we can do for you.
Neutral feedback ratingReceiced the cantenna with the wrong cable but the seller gave a full refund :(
  • Reply by innovativedevice (Feb-11-09 13:47):
    Yes we made a mistake. we offer to send a new one but you refuse so why neutral?
Yes we made a mistake.  We refunded the buyer because he said he do not want a replacement antennaa. Instead of receiving a positive feedback because we solve the situation THE WAY HE WANT... we got a neutral.
Giving feedback is not a game, a neutral means that you are not satisfied by the transaction... but when you specifically ask to cancel the transaction and you get your refund right away I don't think this deserve a neutral
Conclusion: We are human, a mistake can happen and we are always standing behind our products... we will surely solve the situation (ALWAYS at the advantage of the buyer)
Neutral feedback ratingddd
  • Reply by innovativedevice (Jan-29-09 12:17):
    What is the meaning of this stupid feedback? don't put FB if you don't know how!
Do I really need to say more!    ddd is not my definition of a feedback.  I asked him to retrieve this one and he never replied. Conclusion: If you make a mistake in your feedback, please be so kind to repair your mistake... or at least let us know why you leave a neutral so we can know what's going on and try to solve the problem!
Neutral feedback ratingDoesn't work as well as I thought it would but it does work

  • Reply by innovativedevice (Jan-24-09 10:40):
    And this is your justification for a neutral? There nothing more to say!...
The product perform as described.  If your expectation was too high it is not our fault.  We clearly describe the performance you can get. Conclusion: Read the auctions and ask questions if you are not sure about a specific product.  We have several years of experience so we can let you know if the product you are looking will match your needs.
Negative feedback ratingSells referb as new. Also is a feedback extortionist. Extreamly difficult person

  • Reply by innovativedevice (Jan-10-09 19:26):
    Threaten us Since the beginning. Refuse to cancel. A real pain! GO AWAY loser!
    • Follow-up by bulldogrugged (Jan-11-09 13:10):
      Threaten? Ebayers email Me to see the threatining email he just sent me.

We sold him our Combo Yagi/Router but he cannot understand why the router is not in his original box.   We never send in original box because it is no longer the original router "there a special firmware inside".   He think we tried to fool him with a refurbished product.   We gave him all the proof needed and he still think we tried to fool him.  We sell hundreds of those kit per week, it is impossible to get refurbished product, we buy directly from a linksys approved reseller to be sure we not sell a chinese copy.

3 months after the sale, this buyer still harrass me and send message saying that he make me lose an other sale and he want me to admit that we tried to fool him.

One question?  Why in the world I would try to fool one of our customers?  we get tons of positive feedback saying how good and responsible we are and suddenly this guy come from nowhere and start saying that we are scammers!

Conclusion: When you have problem with a product, the best solution is to ask for more information, not sending an email saying that you have been scammed and threaten us for absolutely no reason.
