    i never really ask a seller if the item has been sent until at least 7 days after it hasnt been sent because i understand people have lives off ebay etc and finding time to get to the ever so busy post offices can be a pain!

    I once spent 45 mins of my 1 hour lunch break in my local post office cause i always feel bad not sending the item within 48 hours of payment.

    Im just patient and understanding i guess!

    I can understand the point if a buyer does lie they dont deserve a positive so i can see why you wouldnt leave feedback till you know your buyers happy :o) point taken and i might even do this myself from now on, see how i get on for a bit.

    It bugs me how some people are soo concerned about feedback, im more concerned with selling my unwanted goods for a bit of cash that allows me to buy some thing new :o)

    Isn't it true all you sellers out there that you wait for feedback to be left first in case your buyer mons you've either lied or waited a week to stick the items in the post?


    Edited to change the slip! Please do have a good laugh at my expense at that one. I'll mark myself down 2 stars!!! :)

    Exactly what I was thinking! This has got to be a wind-up! Either that or he has a view that everyone who sells something has to be a con artist!

    Only the "Outraged of Tunbridge Wells" believe otherwise.

    And the "Paul of Chesterfield" :p:cool:

    Not a troll, just someone that enjoys a good mass-debate :D

    I see I'm getting lots of ad-hominem attacks and am being accused of troling.

    I think I'll mark down vendors to 3 stars max in future when leaving f'back or just start leaving neutrals

    I can just see you leaving negative feedback for sellers.

    "Seller did not leave feedback first. Avoid! Scammer! Feedback extortion!"

    I know - because I am a very sad little man. A cyber warrior, hiding behind his keyboard thinking all these nasty things about those wonderful, wonderful sellers who are bloody ignorant.


    At least a few people have sat and thought about the points I've raised - which is why I've raised them.

    I don't chase people for feedback when I buy something anymore - if they're too ignorant to leave me any at all, then that's what they are - ignorant.... And as I've said, I mark down their star ratings, with 4 being the max they can get in the 4 categories. If other people were to start doing what I do then perhaps the sort of ignorance of which I'm complaining might lessen.

    But I'm off to bed

    You still seem convinced in some strangely delusional way that feedback actually matters more than the product or service - but nonetheless, gives me good reason to wheel out this one again...
