we are due to add a note to all listings asking that buyers keep an eye on their email accounts after ordering so we can contact them.

To me that'd just flag up the fact I'm likely to have problems with you as a seller cos no other sellers feel the need to add it and I'd avoid buying from you if there were alternative sellers.

Can never understand the mentality that someones got to leave positive feedback just because they've recieved something they've actually paid for that matches the description of what they thought they were buying in the first place.

people don't have to leave positive feedback, but when you've sent out dozens and dozens of orders it would be nice to get more than 3 or 4 bother to take the time to tell other potential buyers that you provide a good service.

For the feeback system to work effectively it needs to honest, unfortunately a minority are not and abuse the system. A careful read of feedback both received and left and fromthe other sides of transactions usually shows who is likely to be the honest party.

Sadly eBay ruined this with their stupid sellers cannot leave negatives policy, and I'm glad I stopped selling there over two years ago when I went over to eBid.net.

on play u can't respond to feedback, which makes trying to get it removed all the more important as u can't offer any sort of explanation.

at a guess we sold 800 items last year on play, and received just over 100 feedbacks (a lot less than my earlier guess of 10% !).

100 feedbacks on 800 items = 12.5%

I buy and sell and actually think that this was a good move - there were plenty of times when a seller deserved a neg, but I couldn't leave it beacuse I knew they would just leave me one.

The drawback is the lack of facility for dealing with malicious negs now.

Do you leave feedback for all your buyers as soon as they pay, or do you wait for them to leave it for you first?

Whats 'good service' about sending out something they've paid for ?

Just because they have paid for the service doesn't mean it's not a good service!

I wait for the buyer to leave me feedback before I leave them feedback - I like to know they have received and are happy with the item then I will leave the + feedback.
