I have like around 50 to 65 outstanding feedback that buyers have not left;Is it just me or do other people experience this too?

  • Unless you send your buyer pound notes it isn't a good idea to chase feedback. Ebay does this for you and that can cause enough people to be teasy.
  • In my experience only around half of buyers bother to leave feedback.

    Many buyers do not bother to leave feedback. I would not worry too much about it. Having no feedback is better than having unfair bad feedback.
  • I'm really peeved off at the moment with someone asking me for feedback for something you clearly don't use the minute you open your mail. Being a new seller they are saying it's my fault now that their money isn't released, so I'm doubly peeved off. :/

    I always leave feedback, I have had a seller not leave feedback and I bought a number of items from them

    I would be p*ssed off at getting a note about leaving the seller feedback. Now I have had a few with a thank you for your feedback on a invoice included with the item.

    I haven't sold much, but of what I have sold, only about 1/3 of buyers leave feedback.

    I always leave FB for buyers if they pay quickly, but never bother chasing feedback up for those that do not leave it. Life is too short.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Occasionally when I am bored and just generally browsing ebay I do look at buyer feedback- and have been surprised to see quite a high percentage of buyers with hundreds of feedback who have never ever left any feedback for a seller in return. I suspect it is going the same way as Amazon where buyer feedback has disappeared.

    Have you left them feedback?
    Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...

  • Never ever chase buyers for feedback on ebay, is the golden rule. You're just increasing the chances of receiving an annoyed neutral or negative.

    About 38% of my buyers leave me feedback, it used to be nearer 60% at one time.
