I have a few buyers who have received the goods (send recorded delivery so I have checekd) and they won't leave me positive feedback despite a few reminders. I ma really tempted to leave negative or neutral feedback. Any views on this?

    I made it a policy never to ask for feedback, and if a seller asks me to, it kind of gets my back up.

    You've got no grounds for giving neg or neutral feedback; they paid on time, didn't they?
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Feedback is optional not compulsory. Leaving a neg or netural for them is totally uncalled for.

    If you leave a neg or neutral then I would think your buyers will just leave you one back, I certainly would.

    Where does it say anything in the t and c's about feedback being compulsory?

    With such an attitude like that I'm wondering if you are in fact old enough to even be selling on eBay. I can't believe you can even be contemplating leaving neutral/negative feedback just because the buyer(s) didn't leave you positive feedback. Feedback is OPTIONAL

    I think sending reminders is ridiculous. Being reminded to leave feedback would annoy me and I'd probably just leave no feedback.

    To be honest i do usually send 1 reminder after about 2 weeks, but just ask if they were happy with the item could they please leave feedback, if they dont respond i dont send any other reminders.

    Feedback is optional and if a seller emailed me to give feedback then I probably wouldnt as he had asked me to give it.

    As a rule as a buyer I always give feedback once the item has been received and is what I was after. As a seller I wait til the buyer has left feedback first to say they are happy with the item I have sent, if they dont leave feedback then I dont either!

    That is precisely what I do. To the idiot questioning my age I am 34. thaks for the advice. I wasn't sure but now I have seen your feedback (no pun intended) I won't be leaving any feedback. FYI I hadn't realised feedback wasn't an expected part of the ebay process.

    The seller should leave feedback first!!! Once payment has been received, as the buyer has done their part.
    Then once the buyer has received the goods, its then their turn to leave feedback!!
    Too many sellers forget this :mad:

    Excuse me. I really don't think calling me an idiot is doing you any favors. It makes you appear even less mature when you have to insult someone else on the net!

    You asked for views, sorry I didn't realize it had to be the same as yours.
