Once the buyer complains that the item did not arrive, the seller gives a full refund saying that the item was "lost in the mail". eBay thinks all is OK, and you cannot even post negative feedback for the seller as the transaction did not complete, but was cancelled with refund.

That happened to me as well; it was a long time ago, but this event is one of the reasons I started saving details about all transactions.

I've got some good news for you about leaving feedback!!

Once a sale is cancelled, it disappears from your 'Purchase History" page so there is no "Leave Feedback" button. But, if you do the following, you can access every recent transaction you have made, regardless of the outcome:

Starting on the Purchase History page (but also available from most "My eBay" pages):

Just below the "My eBay" on the upper left of the page, you'll see "Activity Messages(nnn) Account" links right above a horizontal line

A. Click on "Account"
B. Under the "Personal Info" group at the upper left, click on "Feedback"

=> You will now see a list of all your recent transactions, including any that were cancelled, refunded, etc.

Now, just click on "Leave Feedback" in the Action column on the far right, and let the world know how that seller behaved.

Enjoy this useful tip!!
