Buyer begging for feedback

After careful consideration I am now leaving after receiving payment for the first time in 6 years (I changed it after I'd left a +ve for a person who paid with a stolen credit card), my customers seem happier, DSRs are up and business is going well.

Feedback is the cheapest form of ensuring customer loyalty, it costs nothing to leave it, if you use an automated system it doesn't even take time to leave.

Errr thats what i've been doing for years....it makes me laugh how a lot of you have done a turn around and now give it 1st...it has ALWAYS been better to do that...it makes the buyer happier, and so what if you ran the risk of getting a neg, out of over 1000 feedbacks 2 were negs, both from non paying bidders so I was always going to get the neg anyway, not one single one from a buyer who was safe in the knowledge that they could neg me with no comeback.
And as for OP.....people see leaving positive feedback as a way of saying Thankyou....I think your attitude stinks

Thing is, if all sellers stopped leaving feedback Ebay would have at least considered something re this silly invention.
There's no point in feedback for buyers, absolutely no point anymore.
I'm not selling now and this was re transaction that happened over a month ago. Don't know about others but I really really don't like this nagging regarding something that isn't even compulsory and I don't see point in. I was ALWAYS leaving feedback for the buyers before the new rules.

Ok can see what your saying but it benefits you if nothing else as some people wouldn't buy again from you if you didn't

Received 3 emails from somebody within 2 weeks asking why I'm not leaving her/him feedback. With the new feedback system I don't see a point for sellers in leaving feedback, do I tell her/him that you reckon?

Ignore them. that's as bad as someone buying something from you in a shop and then saying "now tell me I'm a fabulous customer, so everyone can hear, go on, go on, go on..."

You would just think "eff off you loony" and get them out of your shop ASAP.

Just the same on ebay, if peeps beg for FB i ignore them, really winds them up. Especially if they have already left you a positive

I was sending a quick message the day I dispatched item saying it's sent and thank you for your purchase, as well as printed piece of paper with an item saying thank you and asking to contact me if not satisfied with the item, how that wouldn't be enough and what's wrong with my attitude?

TBH I was never bothered about getting a negative, I was more bothered about leaving good feedback for someone who had paid using a stolen credit card or who did a false chargeback or whose payment bounced, etc. I agree, I should have done it sooner, I'm still learning!

I still don't get why OP won't leave feedback having read the explanation, if you're still receiving it how does anyone know you are protesting?

Don't forget that it is easy to search for items an eBay member has sold or bought (or bid on, whether the winner or not).

If I was in two minds as to whether to deal with someone and found a lot of sales/purchases but they had no feedback left for them in months, alarm bells would start to ring.

iieee

Leaving feedback for buyers isn't pointless, it makes them happy, however silly that is. I've also been leaving it as soon as I get paid since the feedback changes (as an experiment really) and buyers seem much happier as a result.
