I don't see the problem with ASKING for feedback if a significant time has elapsed. I sell quite a few things and sometimes forget to leave feedback. If a buyer politely emails me reminding me to leave feedback then he in turn will get a polite email back apologising and advising him that i would leave relevant feedback immediately.

Out of order him sending abuse to you .

Totally agree. Not leaving feedback is not in the "spirit" of ebay and someone with 100% feedback is a pretty !!!!!! individual for leaving bad feedback.

I don't think he should have replied like that - if he was annoyed about being asked, then he should just ignore your email.

I have had some sellers wait a month (or two!) before leaving feedback - think they did a big feedback leaving session for all their transactions in one go!

Abusive emails are not allowed to be sent via ebay, so report him.

I have had a few people reminding me about feedback, so i simply email them back and say NO I WILL NOT LEAVE YOU FEEDBACK, and then explain that if they leave a neg because of it, i will leave the same for them.

The feedback reminder should be removed from ebay, something seriosly wrong if you have to hassle people to leave you feedback.

hugs! Take note from the fact that he's probably a fat, balding ebay fiend in his fifties who still lives with his mum who is sad enough to gloat over the fact that he is witholding feedback to you. Its his problem if he takes it so bloody seriously, its just meant to be a bit of fun and were ALL adults here!

I got an email the other day asking if I received my item and could I leave feedback (seller had already left some woohoo!) did I get on my high horse and deliberately NOT leave it because I knew they wanted it? NO, I just left some, its nice to be nice after all!

If the buyer hasn't left feedback how do you know he's not unhappy with the item in some way and isn't leaving feedback as a neutral or neg is too much but so is giving a pos? If he paid very little for it he may write it off to experience.

HOWEVER... abuse is uncalled for and should be reported, he seems to be the kind of slimy little twit who uses the anonymity of an email to vent his own inadequacies :rotfl:

Neilwoods... just by deleting the item from MyEbay you can avoid having the feedback reminder so its not really a issue is it?

Alter my settings, NAH. Not my problem that a small minority on ebay are so obsessed with there feedback.

What gets me is the attitude that "feedback is voluntary" but I think if someone has left it for you and if you had no problem with the transaction then you should leave it for them by way of good manners. "Some people" seem to think that if they get feedback left for them but they don't return it then they are getting something for nothing, its not really in the spirit of ebay is it?

As a fat, balding eBay fiend, I find that comment pretty offensive. What on earth has whether someone is rude or abusive got to do with how much someone weighs, how much hair they have, their age and their living arrangements?
