Apparently I am being reported to ebay for being "rude"

Options
You gotta love moron sellers. :D

I get at least one feedback begging note a day, and I thought I'd nip them in the bud and only have each seller trying it on once by creating a standard message.

Here's the message string:
Hi, could you please leave feedback for this item, thank you, Tanya.
This is a standard, copied message. No communication will be entered into:

I rarely participate in the ebay feedback system. I won't care or even notice if you leave me feedback, please don't message me regarding any feedback issues, or you will get this message copy/pasted back at you.
I don't care if you copy/paste message back to me, i think you have been extremley rude & obviously don't understand the concept of e bay & i will be reporting this message to e bay. Tanya
Hmm, now wondering if I should leave feedback afterall ;)
This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

I am a professional ebay seller. I work hard at my job, I love my job, if you think it's silly that's your problem not mine. :p

    I think you should leave feedback, to be honest, and your message is a tad abrupt - unnecessarily so.

    I'm a bit curious, please bear with me but, why don't you participate in feedback?

    Sometimes I don't go on ebay for ages and it can be months before I leave feedback and do a job lot but I've only ever had one message about it and that only asked if everything was OK because they'd noticed I hadn't left feedback and wanted to check I was happy with my item (so feedback fishing, but not as blunt as your seller!)

    It would have been a neutral with low stars.
    I don't think it's fair to leave them without trying to sort the issues out, and usually I really can't be bothered to even try the parade of back and forth messages.

    I was doing the seller a favour to be honest.

    Just ignore them.

    I also think that message is rude and i'd bet you have a lot of good feedback or you would be bothered ;)

    But you say you don't give ANY feedback - not just this one poor seller. I meant that I think you should give feedback generally.

    It's a bit complicated, but because we sell what we buy, unless it is 5 stars across the board and positive then it could look suspect to ebay, and that rarely happens because of the kind of auctions we end up winning.

    No :rotfl:

    It's a private feedbacked buying account- no-one else can see the feedback, and I don't bother looking. Buyer feedback is meaningless as it can only be positive.

    As a seller we get more buyers that don't leave feedback than those who do, before anyone mentions that. It's a voluntary thing and we respect that.
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine

    Oh well, it's voluntary. *shrugs*

    It's certainely not something you can report to ebay anyway which was my point.

    Why? Feedback is optional. I don't buy and sell for Feedback.
