POLL - Why should I leave Feedback First?

forgotmyname

I got too fed up of sellers not leaving me feedback. Bought 15 items in the last 60 days.

Amount of feedback received is 4. Despite me always paying instantly.


As soon as i see that have left feedback i leave some for them.

I think its the 1st time i have marked someone down on the stars, Item was smaller than expected so the
£6+ postage seemed rather excessive when it arrived with a single 2nd class large stamp.

There are many threads on here about excessive postage but this is a very good example of truly excessive postage. This deserves to be marked down

I have only purchased items so far on Ebay, and didn't realise before I read this thread that as a buyer, I was getting feedback as well. As a buyer, I always pay promptly, and post feedback to the seller as soon as I receive the item.
The good news is, that I have now had a look at my feedback and it is 100% positive.

As a buyer it can only be 100% it is impossible for it to be any less.

You contradict yourself in other threads you state that the buyer knows the price up front so it's their choice to buy.

I state in another thread with regard to collection charges not postage. I also state in that thread that I do not consider a collection charge and a postage charge to be comparable.

I state in another thread that £1.51 above stamp price is not an overcharge of £1.51 when taking into account packaging and more realistically is an overcharge of 75p.

I would not leave someone 1 or 2 on postage for 75p, I may give them a 4. However a £6 charge is clearly excessive when the stamp price is 36p and this seller would be getting a 1 from me.

I am very flattered you have taken such an interest in my activity on the forum but I should disclose I am married with 3 children so I cannot reciprocate your obvious love for me

I thought Oliver meant me on that score, I have said you know the postage price so should be happy
with the total cost.

The issue with this purchase was the item was actually smaller than what i assumed was the same item
i had seen elsewhere.

It is identical in every way, Even the case etc. Now i know they make a smaller version, I left good feedback for the
item it was as described.. No mention of size though. So thats my fault for not asking.

But postage should not have been that high for something so small, Jiffy Bag size C. When i was expecting something
more than double its size and a lot heavier.

I was expecting postage to be £3+


Imagine buying a large fully loaded executive car and then after paying they give you the keys to a basic kia picanto.

Thats how i felt when i opened the package.

Oliver may have meant you, but I assumed he meant me as he quoted me.
