You might try calling Paypal since your payment went through them and they are part of eBay.

PayPal Customer Service Agents are available to help you during the following times:

4:00 AM PDT to 10:00 PM PDT Monday through Friday
6:00 AM PDT to 8:00 PM PDT on Saturday and Sunday

Call Paypal toll-free at: 1-888-221-1161

You can contact eBay by clicking on "Security Center" at the bottom of most eBay pages. Choose the menu line that applies best to your situation in each step. Follow it through to the end. They do read and react to the messages sent through that system.

Regardless of the feedback, if you have received the door there is nothing left to do. Had you not received the door, you could have gone back to Paypal and asked for your money back.
As it stands now, the transaction is over, you both have negative feedbacks,and you can't do anything about them.
My suggestion, is that the next time, don't be so quick to leave negative FB. Most thing work out, maybe not the way you would have liked them too, but they will will work out.

That's the problem with Ebay feedback. If you leave an honest truthful comment but it's negative you just get retaliation feedback comments back even if your a saint. Ebay protects the seller and does little to nothing to protect the buyer. I purchased and item, never received it, and the seller actually told ebay that I paid for it and that he didn't send it, and ebay did absolutely nothing. I used every fourm they had up to paying for an Ebay arbitrator with no results. I went to pay pal and told them the problem and they told me it over 90 days and wouldn't do anything. So I finally got American express involved who I use for all of my paypal transactions and they refunded my money. Then Paypal got mad because I went to American Express after they told me they wouldn't do anything. Point of the story: Paypal is an easy way to pay but use paypal with a good credit card company as Paypal isn't so good at taking care of their problems either.

Hi- you have to give some time for things to work out- I never leave neg feedback anymore- Out of over 5000 transactions I recd 5 Negs myself- all from Non Payers who got up set when I left them neg feedback- I just put non payers on my blocked bidder list - NOTE- since i started taking pay pal besides getting higher bids- amt of Non payers have been almost nil- just my thoughts-

I know how you feel about paypal and ebay not getting envoled. They both use their rules to stay out of a problem but let sellers use the rules to cheat at the same time. I bought a penney scale that UPS destroyed in shipment and the seller shipped in a box that was under rated for the weight so UPS wouldn't pay. Ebay nor paypal would come down on this guy so I still had the scale and I paid with a Visa. So I went to war using BOA Visa. UPS shipped the scaled back giving me proof of shipment and I submitted pictures and all the emails from this guy and paypal. I got a credit from Visa and a letter from paypal that I can't do what I did. I called paypal and was told that now they would now have to get their money from this guy and I should have come to them. I told them good luck gave them the case #'s on this and told him they had been of no help and that I worked in the banking industry and what I had done perfectly legal and their smoke screen was a big joke and that I may have lost the battle with them but I did when the war beacause I got all money back. If I have any hesitation now I always use a credit card and wait till I get some type of feedback til I leave feedback. Their are ways to remove thar feedback also.
