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

TurkishDelight

You gotta love moron sellers.

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

ok , i think you could have been a little nicer , wouldnt have said you were rude thought, I thought the feedback system was to help future buyers

Snooze

PMSL :rotfl:. I'd just ignore her now and await the mighty wrath of Ebay :eek::D.

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.

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.
