    Negative feedback

    I had a quick question. I got a negative feedback for a transaction that i was physically unable to make it to. Back ground story, one month ago i contacted a guy in so cal about his sd9 for sale. His post said he was regularly in sacremento which i am close to so i put a SPF on his thread. Turns out he wasent here regularly and was a little over a month away (he was coming up for a wedding on the 8th of june). Fast foward to june 4th i believe, he contacts me and ask if im still interested i told him yes and he said he was gonna contact me later with a ffl to meet at and a time for our meet later on. I never recived the call from him because on june 6th i was in a severe motorcycle accident and was hospitalized until june 9th and unable to contact anyone till june 12th. On june 12th i let him know what happened And appplogized for any inconvience it may have caused him. He replied back with the fact he was going to give me negative feedback in which he just did today. The thing is i understand and feel like $h*t this happened but his version of events are bias/untruthful in my feedback description and i think at very worst warranted a neutral feedback as there was no loss on his part other than time. Mind you this is my first negative feedback and i have a flawless A+ rating which is now destroyed over this. I guess my question is should i request my feedback be changed to neutral and should i request a truthful version of events be portrayed to my feedback description.

    His feedback below

    "In buyer's defense, he later said he was in an accident. However, I marked the post as SPF for a couple of months to this user and refused a couple other offers, then I transported it over 250 miles, no response/replies to calls or texts until a few days after or original appointment to meet at the FFL."

    My response and what actuallly happened


    Version of events are skewed. While it is true i did in mark this SPF (1 month prior) and we agreed on a date of june,8,2018 i was in a severe motorcycle accident on june,6,2018 and hospitalized until the june,9,2018 unable to communicate with anyone until june,12,2018 when i got into contact with mark to let him know and appologize. I wanted to clarify some aspects that are not accurate.

    (1) It was not spf for 2 months as per our pms dates (few days over the one month mark).

    (2) We had not actually set up a ffl or time yet. The description of events makes it seem as if we set a ffl/time and i had him hanging at a shop waiting on a no show (not true and makes a big difference)

    (3) He also made it seem as if he specifically drove 250 miles to make this transaction happen when in fact he was headed here for a friends wedding on june,8,2018 (hence the reason it was SPF for a month and i had to wait)

    Now like i told him, i except full responsibility and am extremely sorry that i had this unfortunate event happen to me but i would appreciate a truthful accurate version of events portrayed.

    Ask for neutral and/or contact a moderator to look into it. I believe they can do something about it.

        Mods should remove negative feedback. Seller should accept that things happen. I didn't leave negitive feedback for a noob who agreed to meet and sell me a couple items from a list he advertised. He instead sold them with several other items to someone who posted later. Life is too short.

          I would recommend sending proof of your hospital stay to the mods or the seller, along with a non confrontational note explaining what happened. While I realize you don’t NEED to send proof of the hospital stay, it’s a nice touch so that people don’t think you had buyers remorse and just fabricated an excuse.

          I hope you recovered fully from your accident.

            Shouldn't be a negative or even a neutral.

                I would give you a negative rating. Just for wanting to buy that gun.

                  I had a buyer who pm "I'll take it" on a sale. Agree to meet following saturday to accommodate his schedule and also accommodated to his ppt location. Come friday I send a touch base message in regards to the meet up . . . . totally flaked, zero response and ghosted. Doesn't even have the curtsey to respond i changed my mind or i bought something else, just blank. I didn't not report him or leave a feedback even tho I had every opportunity to do so. I left it with Karma, which will come around.

                  Yeah lots of flakes in the marketplace both buyer and seller. Seems like game to lots of them. Anyhow, stuff or emergencies do happen but I guess your seller is pretty upset. Maybe next time iron out and AGREE to the actual date and time of meet up BEFORE writing "SPF" or "I'll take it". BTW SD9 is not that bad, it shoots just fine.

                    Who cares about the feedback?

                    Long as you're ok; I used to ride and have seen some bad **** in my days.

                      Yeah i get it negative feedback is negative feedback and out of my control with this situation. The thing is to give negative feedback is one thing but to blatantly lie and strech the truth of the situation in retaliation is another. Also forum rules clearly state that giving negative feedback is reserved specifically for monetary loss not incomplete transactions. I am doing better definatly had my angels with me. I got away with a broken arm, broken ankle, broken ribs and fractured shoulder blade and severe chest contusions. I had an irregular heart rate and That was the main reason for my stay along with concussion. But im doin better but still hurting.

                        Like Kwikvette said, the guy is being unreasonable considering what happened. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

                          It certainly was not your fault, but the justification for negative FB is whether or not it actually costs the party money.In this case, he was holding the gun for you in good faith and turned down other offers, so he could potentially claim that he lost money, particularly if it ultimately sold for less.

                          It's not the seller's fault just as much as it isn't yours, but I would agree, either no FB or at worst neutral.

                          OTOH, at least they left you FB. I've bought three guns and a bunch of ammo in the last 5 years, but nobody has left FB since 2011.

                            I've run into some real sharks on Calguns, walked away from not as described deals, and had buyers flake out, but have never left or received a negative. I would suggest trying to get the feedback removed.

                              So what's stopping you now from working it out with the seller, doing a bit more on your part to buy the gun, and close the deal?

                              If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
