Automated eBay FeedBack?

MrLee

I purchased an item (non-coin) on ebay last week and paid with PayPal. As has become the norm, I did not receive my feedback until I posted his. TWELVE SECONDS after I posted his, I got mine. No way he's sitting there waiting. He must have an automated system for leaving FB. Anyone else run into this?
BTW. It seems to leave the same comment for all buyers.

I think ANDALE offers this service.

Funny you should mention this. I was just reading the auction terms for 1centcds (over 100,000 FB) and their terms state that their feedback is generated automatically whenever FB is left for them. Hmmm.

Hmmm... I wonder if it knows if a negative was 1st posted. Then how would this program reply? Does it automatically give positives?

On this topic, I'd like to offer a little feedback...

Finding the right server, the right script, and doing just a little digging, just about anyone somewhat versed in web development code could do this.

Mr.Lee: Why would you leave feedback first if you are the buyer?When I first started on E-Bay I was doing the same thing until (I did not know better) I realized that's not the thing to do because of the garbage I was receiving from the sellers.This is a very touchy subject with me.If your waiting for me (the buyer) to give feedback first forget it.Nobody has anything to worry about with me unless they do not answere e-mails,send me junk when they know that's what it is , tell me the item is in the mail when it's not or tell me they have not received payment when they actually did.I always use USpostal money orders because the Post Office can tell me when it was cashed or deposited.All of the above has happened to me.Everytime you buy something on e-bay you are taking a chance unless you know who you are dealing with.

Why wouldn't I? It was delivered fast, was a good item and was at half the price I was paying around town. And I checked first if he was leaving FB. I also asked one of his previous buyers if he was happy with the service. (He was)
I've had both buyers and sellers NOT leave FB and now, if I see they're not leaving any on past auctions, I don't either. I've also had sellers email me that they'll leave theirs when I leave mine. I don't agree with that way of thinking but I can see their point. (If there is a problem, work it out thru email -- not feedback.)

That's so true and I've cut WAY back on my eBay purchases because of all things going on there. The whole system is a con-artist's dream. If you ever want to read some real horror stories, go to the Safe Harbor discussion board. True nightmares and no help from eBay.

Mr.Lee: Look at it the other way around.When you received your product and it's junk,what are you going to do? You leave neg feedback then the seller leaves you the same.I just not practical to leave feedback first if you are the buyer.I have something like this going on right now.
