Do you get a warning message when posting neutral or negative feedback?

I have never left anything other than positive feedback. When posting it there is no confirmation or warning screen asking “are you sure?” or similar. Click the button and it is done.

If I want to post neutral or negative feedback, will I get confirmation screen or does it post it straight away just like positive.

I’m just curious. :)

    For negative feedback it comes up with some kind of confirmation screen. I think it has a warning sign and says something like you are about to leave negative feedback for 'X' are you sure and I think there is a check list.

    There isn't for neutral

    I hope there is because a couple of times I have pressed the wrong option by mistake and almost left a neg

    I posted my first ever neutral two weeks ago and I had a warning screen come up - maybe it is another new feature

    I thought there had always been a warning screen for both neutral and negative feedback. I've had reason to leave both over the 8 years I've been on ebay and I'm sure the warning has always been there.

    If you attempt to leave neutral or negative Feedback a second confirmation screen appears with the following information -
    The Feedback you are about to leave cannot be retracted.

    Before you leave negative or neutral Feedback, please take the following steps:
    • Allow adequate time - Regular domestic mail can take up to two weeks, media mail can take up to six weeks, and international mail can take even longer to deliver.
    • Sellers normally won't send an item until payment clears, which can take up to 10 days.
    • Many businesses are closed weekends and holidays.
    • Not all buyers check eBay or their email daily. Make sure you have given your buyer enough time to respond or pay.
    Contact your trading partner
    • Send an email using Contact an eBay Member.
    • Request contact information, and call your trading partner.
    • Remember, both members may leave Feedback about the transaction. If you must leave a negative comment, please keep your comments factual and avoid personal remarks.

    If you leave a Positive, there is no second screen, simply a "Congratulations - you have left feedback" notification appears.
    <--- Nothing to see here - move along --->
  • I've had the warning thing when leaving both neutral and negative feedback. From what I've read on this forum thiough, it appears that some eBayers either don't see it or decide to ignore it.

    I left feedback just now and it was negative (sadly) for the first time - they made me do a tutorial with questions. :eek: :rotfl:
    Blackadder: Baldrick, I have a very, very, very cunning plan.
    Baldrick: Is it as cunning as a fox what used to be Professor of Cunning at Oxford University but has moved on and is now working for the U.N. at the High Commission of International Cunning Planning?
    Blackadder: Yes it is.
    Baldrick: Hmm... that's cunning.
