    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? :confused:


    Nightswimmer ((((hugs)))) ... in order to avoid being told off by slimy little inadequate twits I feel the need to point out I was being ironic (...abuse uncalled for... etc). I'd hate anyone to think otherwise. :o

    Quite. :rolleyes:

    YES but are you a fat balding ebay fiend who is that worked up about ebay that they are sad enough to withhold feedback to someone just for the sake of it then be abusive towards your seller???? THAT is where I draw my distinction!:o

    P.S No offence intended dude, it was just that the OP seemed a bit taken aback by the buyers reaction and I was trying to lighten the mood a bit.

    Oh gawd guys, I went to lie down there for a bit and then logged on and 23 replies! :eek:
    I agree/disagree with some of your comments. Feedback is necessary with ebay and if it's not reciprocated then I think it's down right rude! Bty, I asked politely and a few got back and said they forgot/oops/thanks for the reminder etc...

    I know, and I probably shouldn't have commented - it just bugs me sometimes when terms such as fat, bald, etc. are used in a derogatory way or used to imply that someone is worth less than someone else. It's been a long day though and I shoud have just taken the post in the spirit it was meant, so I apologise for being snappy. :o

    Asking for feedback on eBay is akin to asking for thanks on here. Most people see it as a "naff" or rude thing to do so the results will be negative.

    I always leave appropriate feedback (99% positive) and always thank MSE posts that I've found useful. I'm sure you're all the same; we don't need telling!
    Can I help?
  • I think maybe someone should do one of those poll thingies !
    The question could be this :
    Whats worse, not leaving someone feedback or spitting your dummy out because your buyer didnt give you a pat on the back ?

    How can it be necessary if it is optional? :confused:

    People don't have to leave feedback ~ I wish some wouldn't get so worked up about it :rolleyes:
