In the cornflake bowl of life this buyer has been more sugar sprinkled than most

and:

This guy left loads of weird comments until he received a slapped wrist from eBay for it. You need to scroll down about 3/4 of the page for the good comments to start.

Here's another weirdo with a random sense of humour.

And another!!

And finally the legend that is Mr Bo**ox!!

I guess that's the board quiet for a few hours while they are being read!!

I liked this one from him:
Roses are red, violets are blue, Tandy makes sucky computers, I sell them to you

Ebay should have left him alone,:rotfl:

Oh yeah, the actual thread... I think a reasonable person will be reasonable regardless, but a d1ckhead will always find a way to be a d1ckhead.
Must admit, I tend to think if you pay promptly, good feedback. What else do you need a buyer to do? Mind you, I like to think I'm reasonable!

This is an old chestnut and comes up almost weekly. You will never get people agreeing. All I can say is as a seller Ive come across sooooo many incredibly annoying buyers to know I would NEVER leave feedback for a buyer first. Those that do will one day get their fingers burnt for sure. I got a negative only last week from a buyer who had to pay an excess charge and pick up the item I sent from his Post Office Depot. The PO label must have come off in transit.

I sent him the copy of my receipt showing Id paid to send it and he calmed down and we did a mutual feedback withdrawal (after I negged him for being unreasonable). Had I giving him feedback for his prompt payment earlier then I would have lost any leverage to get his negative removed.

For those buyers that are reasonable and think they should get feedback from the seller first, Im afraid the many (P.I.T.A.) buyers out there have ruined any chance of that happening from many sellers.

I sell on ebay and never leave feedback for buyers anymore until they have left it for me then I know they have received the goods etc... as I have been stung a few times in the past. When I started out on ebay I left a buyer feedback and then he complanied about the goods which were perfectly fine so he was threatening to leave negative feedback unless I gave him a refund which I told him to get on one.

ebay advise that feedback should be left once a transaction reaches a satisfactory conclusion

so some buyers think that they have completed their bit by paying, is receiving the item not part of their role too?

TBH I think people worry on about getting feedback far too much. The amount of times I have been asked to please give feedback. I do it in a batch can't people wait a few days.

It is useful for scammers, but they just start again with a new username as soon as f/back gets bad. I have received neg. feedback twice both unfair, but the people that I do make c*ck ups on (genuine errors, but prob. deserve neg) thank god are usually lovely when I hold my hands up.

I had one sale where everything that could go wrong did on my and PO side, but the buyer was lovely and even came back again a few weeks later.

I give feedback for quick payment whether or not they have the item - I too hate the 'I'll give you positive if you give it me first'.....

One transaction left me fuming last year, I paid instantly for a cd, didn't receive the item and complained - then got some sort of Ebay message saying that I'd get negative feedback if I didn't complete the transaction by allowing a refund........grrr
