I had a negative review from a Canadian customer last year because I don't use paypal. Order not executed.
Now that same customer comes with a new order.
I have already said that I will not do business with him, because of the above negative review.
I canceled order. and yes a second negative review..
Can I put that guy on some kind of blacklist?

tonstamps ,
If I see your feedback like this, wasn't the feedback from this same customer last year not negative but neutral?
And he didn't once seem to give negative feedback to other sellers because of PayPal.
In such a case it is therefore good to have a quiet conversation with someone and to remind the buyer that you do not accept PayPal. Then he probably wouldn't have given negative feedback.
If things are different and you want us to look at the feedback, you can send the email exchange with this buyer to us via the contact form.

Can I put that guy on some kind of blacklist?
This is possible from a TOP Seller subscription. See the subscriptions page .

A French collector ordered MNH and unused stamps and blocks from Albania from me. When collecting the stamps, one series turned out to have a sticker instead of MNH and another series had 2 stamps with thin spots. I sent the buyer a clear scan of both stamps with thin spots. I asked the orderer if he still wanted both series and offered him to pay the postage costs of approximately € 10 if he would take the series anyway. The purchaser agreed and informed me of this in writing. I had the series with the thin spots for sale for €10. So, as it were, he received that series as a gift from me, now that I had paid the postage. Everything is neatly and securely packaged, with philatelic postage and sent to France as a letterbox parcel. Then I receive negative reviews from this French collector, because I had not delivered what he originally ordered . In my opinion, we have reached a new agreement and he has received exactly the stamps and blocks as he would have received under the new agreement. The negative review hit me hard and it really bothered me all day yesterday. It's so not fair! However, after the order described above, the same buyer placed a second order with me a few days later. It turned out that I had not included one stamp from that second order. Unfortunately, this happens every now and then. A short message to me would have been sufficient to send the missing stamp. I would have sent the missing stamp free of charge. Without any prior notice, I received a neutral assessment for the delivered shipment today, stating that one seal was missing. I don't think that's fair either. Of course, I immediately sent him the missing stamp today, but now I am left with a very bad feeling because of my good behavior. I think such truly unjustified reviews should be allowed to be removed by LastDodo. What do you think about that? Or is that already possible? In any case, I'm glad that I can express my frustration about this here.

A message via the contact form (bottom: contact) can sometimes do wonders. In certain circumstances, with clear explanations, a negative review (such as a negative message) may be removed.
Now everyone knows that it is about user Bineta, from France.

On the other hand, there is the option to respond to a review. And I think you did that beautifully. Very neutral and clear explanation.
Even if the review remains negative, the comments are also read by other (possible buyers). And that comment is clear. You have done everything you can do to solve or prevent problems. Without negativity. No potential buyer will be deterred by this. But it may not be a pleasant feeling to get a red ball in such circumstances.
If the assessments remain, know that those traces will also remain with the other party. If someone wants to buy from me, I usually take a look at the reviews given. That sometimes says a lot about someone. I think if it ever buys from my shop (chances are slim, but you never know), I would cancel the order.

Quite expensive consequences if you ever happen to encounter such a 'pipo' ... having to pay 15 euros more per month just to put someone on a blacklist. Expensive for a simple collector with a small shop that houses the duplicates (who takes a VIP to join in the solidarity).
Also because for a small shop, there is usually not that much turnover. And the number of reviews is rather small (and not growing rapidly). One negative (or even neutral) immediately makes a big difference.

And that because of a pipe that might be better removed straight away?
You could also give such a person an icon of a Pinokio instead of removing it. As a point of recognition for others.

Or a Trumpie

As I imagine (March 2021).

But that proposal never made it :) :) :)

To get rid of this hassle, it might be wise to mention: No PayPal account in your shop under Shop settings/Payment options.

Okay, I can only address this to tonstamps, but it can also be done in general, many do not have a PayPal account.

Thanks mart47 for this tip.
I think that if you do not accept payment with PayPal, you should indeed indicate this under Shop info and under Payment options. But also with the 4 language options. So enter 8 times in total.

I must admit that I have never looked at the 4 language options in the payment instructions. So it is only in Dutch, but there has not been a buyer worldwide who did not know to which account number the payment should be transferred.

I just looked at your shipping costs mart47, Dutch and German.
On the Dutch side,
My prices do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs for letters in the Netherlands with PostNL: 0-20 grams 1.20 / 20-50 gr. 2.30 / 50-350 gr. 3.90 Shipping costs letter rest of the world with PostNL: 0-20 grams 1.90 / 20-50 grams. 3.70 / 50-100 gr. 5.50 Standard postage at buyers risk.

German side,
My prices are subject to shipping costs

I assume the rest isn't automatically translated either?.

Indeed, I never looked at it, but I see that the basic salutation is automatically translated into 4 languages.

The customer from France (mentioned earlier in this column) keeps placing orders. Surely that would mean he is satisfied with what I send him. Once again, an order of over 100 euros. Neatly packaged, philately franked, and sent by registered mail. Shipping costs based on my actual expenses. Result: a neutral review with the comment that the shipping costs are so high. I cannot do anything right with this customer. I try my very best, supply beautiful stamps, and affix beautiful stamps to the envelope, and the customer is dissatisfied, yet keeps ordering. It is simply not fair. What can I do to express my frustration and warn other sellers?

If it's not worth the trouble and direct communication doesn't help: stop accepting orders from this customer and therefore cancel their orders?

You have sold for over 100 Euros, and it should be clear to everyone that neutral feedback justifying the shipping costs as too high makes no sense. So, what are you worrying about? I would gladly take this client off your hands.

I would say don't let it bother you too much.
It seems to me more likely that the customer is dissatisfied because you are not responding to his request for free shipping (see previous feedback).
And rather 'push' a bit in this way.
However, as the seller, you alone determine the selling price and associated shipping costs.
You have a 'Power' subscription.
So you can place customers on a 'blacklist'.
And the customer can no longer order anything at all.
Maybe ask him if that is what he wants...
