It said delivery was not the fastest but arrived in good condition. she did leave it as good feedback.
I wish she had contacted me first to say that she had not got it as I emailed her many times to ask if she got it. I sent it when she paid so the speed was down to royal mail.
Loopyloo, never ever ask for feedback, you might not like what you get.
A lot of people just don't bother leaving feedback at all and there is nothing we can do about it. I bought three items from a seller about a month ago, I left glowing feedback and never had anything in return, that's the way it goes sometimes.
I sometimes hate the feedback system on Ebay. I was overcharged on P+P for an item by £3 and i left a pos saying that i recieved the item in good time but o/c p+p. They left me a neutral in return (My first neut/neg) saying i paid quickly but moaned about postage.
Its ok taking the attitude well if you didn't like the P+P charge you shouldn't of bid, but i didn't expect to be grossly o/c in the 1st place!! >
The number one golden rule on eBay is never, ever leave either neutral or negative feedback. Only positive feedback with positive comments is permissable. Anything else is frowned upon, whatever the circumstances.
If you don't want to leave positive feedback, don't leave anything.

If you are only ever going to leave positives then why leave feedback at all?
A lot of EBayers do the same thing and all it means is that scammers, fraudsters, and dishonest people are much more able to operate freely. If no-one is going to neg a bad EBayer then they will continue to operate unchallenged.
Leaving only positive feedback is a great system until you come up against Mr. Scammer who will rip you off because he has done it to lots of other people and gotten away with it. I am not tarring everyone with the same brush here but I always get suspicious when I see an account with feedback in the 1000+ range and not a single negative left or received - the odds against you not getting one bad Ebayer are just too high.
I had one left as postive saying item was gorgeous but packaged poor and damaged!! The item was a porcelain cup that was quite expensive so if it was damaged in any way it would not be worth anything and you would expect a refund!! ireckon it was left in the wrong place!! >
I have just got a neutral feedback complaining that the process was very inconvenient because I do not use paypal. Well the item went for £1.04 and she was complaining about having to write and post a cheque, when I went through all the hassle of weighing, packing and posting an item for a piddling amount of money (I only added 50p for packing to the postage costs). Bit p****d off really. Shouldn't have purchased the item if writing a cheque was too much trouble. >
Feel like retorting but it could get silly. What do you think?

i think you should leave feedback , even if it is neutral.... I dont think you have a reason for leaving a negative.
You can always comment back on their neutral comment.
personally I leave feedback all the time regardless of what i get.... I have 99.5% (due to some time wasters when i first started)
As I just said in another thread - eBay's feedback sux.
If you leave bad feedback and the other person retaliates then you can contact eBay and have it removed but judging by eBay's usual speed of responce I'd never risk it personally. I claimed a FVF refund on a buyer who didn't contact me and they left me negative feedback. I contacted eBay to have the feedback removed and made the mistake of responding to the feedback saying 'Left by non-paying bidder who didn't contact me - feedback will be removed soon'
Ebay will not remove feedback left by a non paying bidder. There are other criteria which will allow feedback to be removed, usually because of feedback violation such as bad language or racist remarks.
Ebay will not remove feedback left by a non paying bidder.
Soo
That says it all really, people can stick 2 fingers up at the auction system by bidding and not paying THEN go on to mess up an honest sellers hard earned feedback reputation at no risk to themselves.
As Steve Wright would say " what level of muppetry is that ?"
I have mentioned on another thread trouble I am having with a buyer who wants item sent before christmas as obviously it is wanted as a present HOWEVER his cheque has not arrived and MONDAY is the last possible date for me to send as im away on holiday from that day until after xmas ...
I have also just this second read his feedback which 2 of last 3 are NEGATIVES with the sellers claiming he is asking for items to be sent before payment have cleared and when they deny him this he got nasty with one and ignored the other both cases no payment was sent .... secondly he is NO LONGER a registered user ...
I am going to take Soolins & VHs sound advice and be very careful with this transaction but my question is ... Can people who are no longer registered leave NEG - FEEDBACK for me if I refuse to sell
Hi Op.
Go to my ebay.
Fdbk .
Top of pageshould be fdbk forum.
Put buyers iD in and you can leave a follow up to what she left you.
Along the lines of.
Sent xx.xx.xx date,I wish you had replied to my emails.
She will be able to leave a reply to this if she wishes.
Are you saying that your buyer is no longer registered? If so then they can't leave feedback as this means their account is suspended. Also I would have thought that you probably don't have to deal with them anymore.
You should be able to file an unpaid item dispute and reclaim your fees immediately and relist the item.
Yes VH ... By the side of his feedback it states in RED this member is no longer a registered user .... So if payment does turn up I am unsure of what to do !
Has anyone else come across this situation and if yes how did you deal with it !
Is there any point in contacting ebay maybe ! ..... Thanks !
In that case then the buyer can't leave feedback and you should be able to relist your item with minumum fuss.
File a non-paying bidder report. Normally it takes 7 days for you to get your fees back, but if a user has been suspended then you should get your fees back immediately.
If the cheque does arrive I would post it straight back with a note saying you have relisted your item. But I think you already know that that cheque won't turn up!
Either way, problem solved, as the user can't use EBay any more you don't have to deal with them.
