Ebay Annoyance

Esoog, if you read the comments from the sellers on this thread, without exception they don't agree with asking for f/b, as I said in my post at the beginning of this thread - but they do want to be sure the buyer's happy before they leave it.

Demonblade is spot on.

Heres my pennyworth:

Feedback isn't just on whether you paid immedietly, its also to let other people know how you cope if a problem arises (i.e. politeness in contacting the seller etc)

I used to leave feedback first as a seller but i had someone leave a petty neg without contacting me to which i had already left pos fb. If i hadn't have left fb already i would've given a neutral saying 'swift payment but didn't contact regarding problems'.

You seem to think that if we get a neg then we leave a neg back saying the buyer is lying, why?

As a buyer, i leave feedback as soon as i get my item, if you have paid straight away and are happy then why not, whether the person requests it or not?

The amount of threads on this board regarding feedback requests is getting pretty silly imo.

I do tend to agree, I rarely even bother reading the feedback threads now except to make sure all is OK. Where possible and where the thread 'flow' won't be awkward I will try and amalgamate these threads.

Really the answer to who leaves feedback first is easy, it is 'whoever wants to'.

That message you quote in the first post is an automated message, I believe. It's not the most diplomatically-worded thing in the world and I wouldn't use it, personally.

I sell tons of stuff on ebay, I leave feedback as soon as they've paid.
For those moaning about feedback threads, don't contribute perhaps? Seems fairly simple to me
I see six golden rules of the ebay discussion area, none of which are "don't start feedback threads"

It doesn't matter who should give feedback first as its OPTIONAL!!


People tend to forget that. :wall:

Esoog

true :]

I just don't like being told if I leave good feedback, I'll get the same..regardless of the details

bleugh

this old chicken and egg again ;-)

OP, your argument is fine if the buyer pays with a NON-BOUNCABLE method

unfortunatley, its entirely possible, with paypal's assistance, for a buyer to......

.......buy lots of expensive items
......pay for them
.......get lots of good feedback
.......tell paypal the card was stolen
......paypal refunds the buyer everything
.......buyer gets free item, seller has no money and has left a scammer glowing feedback that doesn't warn others

sorry, as a seller i expect a buyer to leave feedback saying he's happy first, and as a buyer, i'll leave feedback when i get my item,

I think it is a gyp. I leave feedback for my buyers when I receive payment. I don't see why they should wait when they have done their bit.

It isn't tit for tat, and if they are unhappy I will deal with it directly.

Just bought something for the Mrs on ebay, and I received this email;



This really really annoys me. As the buyer I've done my bit, I'VE PAID! You should give me IMMEDIATE feedback!!! Instead of waiting to see if I give you good feedback! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I never leave feedback until i know my buyer is happy then they will leave good feedback and i will follow suit.
You may have been agood payer but if an issue arises later you may wish to praise or neg the buyer for what they did. ie return item say its faulty when its not etc or if the payment bounces or gets a charge back
