Feedback help

FloFlo

I've only just started selling on ebay and I have had good feedback so far. The last few things I have sent I haven't had feedback just wondering how long do you normally wait for feedback or should I place positive feedback first.
Thanks

Some people don't tend to leave feedback but if you haven't heard from them then i would be inclined to send an email asking if they are happy with the item etc just to make sure that there isn't a problem.

I'm still waiting for feedback for stuff i have bought and sold from ages ago.

If i'm buying i leave feedback as soon as i have received the item. If i am a seller i don't tend to leave feedback until they do.

I used to give feedback straight away as soon as the buyer paid for the item. But more often than not I found they didn't give any feedback back.

Now, just like carrie483 said, I tend to wait until they left feedback and if I'm buying I leave feedback as soon as I have received the item

It seem to work better some how.

Never ask directly for feedback as you may not like what you receive. If you want to give your buyers a kind of reminder then a polite e-mail saying something like " Hi. I am e-mailing you to make sure you received your purchase and are happy with the item." Usually instead of e-mailing you back they will just leave feedback. If they do e-mail you back saying they have got the item and are happy I can't see it would hurt to then mail them back and say "Ok I'm glad you are happy. I wil now leave feedback for you." Then they might leave it for you.

Remember though feedback is optional, no-one has to leave it at all if they don't want to/can't be bothered.
