Buyer demanding feedback

harley1

Could I have some advice please?

I sold an item on ebay about a month ago and the feedback left for me requested that I leave them feedback asap. Admittedly this irritated me a little bit, since I can only give a positive anyway and I quite often go through and do them in batches.

However, tonight, I have had my 4th email request asking that i leave her feedback as she has done for me. Now she has just succeeded in getting my back up and where I would probably have got round to it eventually I now seriously don't want to.

Whilst I'm still debating whether I'm just being petty, what would the rest of you do?

Thanks

Block her on ebay and make sure her emails go to your spam folder

Or (if you are in a VERY good mood) leave feedback along the lines of 'ok'.

or....

Here is the feedback you demanded, not that you deserve it!!

just don't give any at all - buyers like that irritate me

That's the reason I never leave feedbacxk first.

I'd just leave the feedback. It is pretty meaningless and she has waited a month after all.

It what you do that counts, you're her seller.
Personally I cant see the point of winding a potential repeat buyer up, over something that would of actually taken you less time to do, than write this thread out.

TBH, you could have left the buyer F/B quicker than the time it took you to post "Am I being petty".
Did your buyer pay quickly, trouble free besides asking for F/B? Is the buyer newish and wants to build up their F/B, inexperienced and expects a seller would leave F/B for a trouble free transaction?
Some buyers don't realise that sellers can't leave anything but positives.

Why would a seller antagonise a buyer, not giving F/B (unless they were a problem buyer) or block them from bidding?

I have no problem with leaving F/B first as a seller, okay it's limited with thank you for your fast payment but we can't leave negs so why not. The sellers who state they won't because the transaction isn't completed and they don't know if they may have a problem IMO is being silly, they have to sort out the problems anyway.

When I buy I expect the seller(if they choose to leave the optional F/B)to leave it first.

Looking at the Ebay community boards, many sellers are being restricted or banned for low ratings on DSR'S.
I guess it's possible for a buyer who's already left F/B for a seller and not happy with the non return to bid on another auction and trash the stars.

If it's a hobby or just decluttering it won't matter too much although I guess if you wanted to declutter again it would be annoying if you were banned!
