Hi Everyone,
I have a question that I am hoping someone here can answer! I have literally been offered a Bribe in order to change My Negative Feedback against a Seller here on etsy.com and quite frankly I am Outraged that this person thinks they can Buy Me off! Is this an Acceptable Practice on etsy.com??? I wouldn't think so at least!
Thank You in Advance for Your Replies!

Hell no it's not acceptable! I have to ask, what did they offer you?

Was it a bribe, or are they correcting an item they got wrong?

It was a $10 off (Discount) Bribe if I would change My Negative Feedback that I had to leave them! I pretty much already told them off (not in a way to get Myself into trouble though..lol) because part of the reason why I won My paypal case against them in the first place was because they LIED and I was able to show proof of that! I cannot believe they think Bribery is Okay when Lying obviously wasn't "Okay with Me"!

I'm trying to work up a proper amount of indignation and outrage here, but I got nothing. Take the bribe. C'mon. You know you want to.

I say just don't do it then. Just ignore the offer. It might make them feel more awkward if you ignore it and they'll just drop it.
I can't imagine feeling the need to offer a bribe to someone over feedback. Crazy!

If Acceptable Practice you mean is there a rule against it, no, not that I know of.
