Some buyers - GRRRR

Someone used a buy it now, on one of my items on Saturday evening.

On Sunday morning I get an email asking when i`d be posting the item (99p item btw)....

I reply politely, that it`ll be going on Monday, when the post offices re-open !

... then Tuesday morning, the woman emails me again demanding postive feedback...

It wasn`t even a polite email .. just `please leave me positive feedback`.

.. Some people have no patience what so ever !

... I am now going to leave her hanging for another week before I leave the feedback !

Am I mean ??

    If not then don't until she has. I would send an email explaining that your policy on feedback is to leave feedbak when the buyer has signified an end to the transaction and that they are happy by leaving feedback and you will reciprocate.

    Sounds like a newbie?

    Sounds like the type of person I could never tire of slapping....

    I'm having a bad day at work. If I encounter one more idiot between now and waking up tomorrow I will not be held repsonsible for my actions!!!

    Reminds me of a newbie guy I encountered recently. Same scenario, I cannot imagine how I kept my emails polite for a whole week. When will you be sending, have you posted yet, thanks for your reply for every email I sent, done it yet, leave me fb please, is it here yet, ooh arrived this morning. All ended very well, he was happy with item, left positive feedback about my good communication :rotfl:and I was left wondering how to word his neg for harassment. Which I didn't of course, but it did cross my mind.

    Just grit your teeth I say.

    if she has paid you then really you should leave her feedback first because she has forfilled her part of the transaction

    Definately not. The sale is not complete until all parties are happy.

    A lot of sellers simply will NOT leave feedback first, I think some care more about feedback than profit.

    I ask..... If a buyer emailed saying "I am perfectly happy, please leave pos and I will too" A lot of sellers still wouldn't, just in case!

    I'd leave her a neutral for being pushy and awkward with those emails, even if she turned up naked in a Ferrari, with the cash on a silver platter, seconds after the auction ended.

    Buyers expecting feedback the instant they've paid have a LOT to learn.
