Blocked Sellers due to not leaving feedback for buyer

You ebay sellers that dont leave feedback are going to be called out by me and lose a perfect client. I pay immediately when I click BIN and also usually pay within an hour of winning an auction, I leave positive feedback with full stars the day of receipt of an item. But when a seller doesn't reciprocate, it pisses me off. I understand you might not get around to it for 2 or 3 weeks, but when I've done everything perfectly, and I see my purchase slide off my purchase history after 60 days without me receiving feedback, it makes me feel under-appreciated as a client. I shouldn't have to write you a reminder note grovelling for feedback. It takes 2 seconds and it is part of the transaction and ebay culture. ebay is not a new phenomena. So here is my first seller from whom I will not buy anymore after buying multiple items via BIN with payment immediately over the last few months and no feedback was received by me, the buyer aka a client...

jjfink98 with a 4445 ebay rating. Obviously everyone takes the time out of their schedules to leave him feedback, but he doesn't reciprocate that courtesy

There are other sellers that are on the bubble. I'll post them when the items slide off the purchase history sans feedback.

  • As a buyer on eBay, I never leave feedback unless it has been left for me already (unless the seller was really awful and I feel the need to express it).

    As a seller, I leave feedback as soon as I receive payment. I also include a note along with the card informing the buyer that positive feedback has been left for him/her and that I'd appreciate if he/she could leave me some too whenever he/she gets a chance...

  • As a seller, I leave feedback when the buyer pays. I can't expect the buyer to do anything more. That's my opinion. The buyer probably reciprocates about 20% of the time. Oh well, such is ebay. As a buyer I will leave feedback if the seller has left feedback for me. IMO blocking a seller only hurts you as a buyer - goodness knows what you're missing or overpaying for.

    Every is having a good laugh at the OP's emotional state, but setting that aside this IS an age-old EBay issue. If a buyer wants to become a seller, to finance his collecting for example, then growing a high feedback number goes a long way toward making that doable. As a buyer, what more can you do to complete your side of the transaction than pay promptly?

    Simply put, I hope I don't become too big a seller to forget the customer appreciation aspect of selling. Seems some sellers already have - they remind me of some slacker sales clerk that can't even be bothered to look up or do anything more than take your money and give you your items.

    As a buyer, I buy something, leave feedback when it's received and/or the transaction is complete and I don't think about or care about the feedback I receive in return. I suggest you do this too , OP, rather than give yourself a coronary over meaningless BS.
  • MinorLeaguerMinorLeaguer Posts: 514 ✭✭✭


    << <i>Your life must be very fulfilling if this is the type of thing you focus mass amounts of energy on. >>



    10 minutes is not a mass amount of energy. Ah, that's why some ebay sellers don't spend 2 seconds to leave feedback. Must be too much energy to expend to get off their fat arses. Managing multi-year projects working 70+ hours a week is a mass amount of energy. Raising children, now that is a heluva mass amount of energy. (Belated happy fathers day to all dads)

    From what I can tell you've given 3 negs on ebay.

    I find the feedback paradox confusing sometimes... It seems half the buyers think the seller should leave feedback first and half the sellers believe the buyer should leave feedback first. I can understand both arguements. The buyer pays first and if he pays quickly he should be left feedback. But how does the seller know if the transaction is good until he hears so from the buyer. As a buyer you can leave positive feedback for the seller with immunity. As a seller you can leave positive feedback for the buyer and get the package out same day, but if the postal service is slow they may still choose to leave you a neg, or in worst cases they may instist on a partial refund because you didn't send them a PSA 10 at raw card price...

    Feedback on Ebay is so meaningless. Buyers can't get negatives. Buyers get wonderful fast payment positives but yet in reality may be forcing partial refunds or leaving negs on sellers after those positives are received.

    Sellers should leave feedback when they ship the lot out. Buyers should leave feedback when they receive their card and they're satisfied. Anybody checking to see if the other party has left feedback before giving their feedback isn't right in the head.

    I'm curious how my post assaulted anyone but the clod of a seller that I was referring to. A good seller that leaves feedback should not have been offended. But if I needed to be clearer, please make sure you understand this isn't a feedback hostage rant or who leaves feedback first rant. This is a statement to sellers that don't leave positive feedback after already receiving same from me that they will not receive my business anymore. It happened to me 3 separate times with that particular seller. I paid instantly, I gave him positive feedback and full stars upon receipt of each item and he couldn't give a damn to reciprocate just once. So I'm passed first time, shame on him, now it's in shame-on-me as the saying goes. If I'm still not making any sense, how bout 3 strikes you're out for this seller?

    This is either a late April fool's day joke or... just WOW is all I can say.

    I understand, to a point, where a seller cares about his feedback on Ebay.

    Why on earth a rationale human being would care about their buyer's feedback on Ebay makes absolutely no sense to me.

    Posting a thread about such topic is even more amazing.

    The fact that I have read this and wasted my time is PRICELESS and maybe that's this guy's goal.

    It's a shame after all those great deals you've got to block yourself from buying from a good seller just because you don't get an electronic feedback sticker. You should buy a few sheets of these to reward yourself in the event a seller doesn't give you a sticker. If you have kids they'll also come in handy for potty training.

    Here's what I don't get: people who don't "get" that low feedback Ebayers need feedback if they're going to sell. How many folks on here will buy from a seller with total feedback of, say 50? Even if their % is perfect? Take that same seller and bump his total feedback to 150 and his sales go much, much better.

    Most Ebayers that I've talked to don't differentiate between buyer and seller feedback when looking at the seller of an item; they just check the percentage and the total number - period. They aren't all as savvy and "above it all" as we are. image That's really not a complicated concept to grasp is it?

    But it's not enough looking at a seller's total feedback. You have to dig deeper to not only look at his feedback as a seller, but also the feedback he leaves as a seller. How soon after sale date does he leave feedback? Does the feedback look like it's a personalized message highlighting the aspects of the buyer's performance, or does he leave the same lazy feedback message for buyers of all types? Is the feedback spelled correctly in well structured sentences with proper punctuation? These are things you have to look at before considering a purchase and if there's any questions ask before buying. If you see the seller left a feedback two weeks after the sale find out why.
  • bkingbking Posts: 3,095 ✭✭
    BTW, I looked at the OP's feedback, and it's high enough (780ish) where he shouldn't give two rips about the number any more. But, setting that aside, I still maintain that leaving feedback is good, basic customer service.

    As a seller, I leave feedback as soon as I receive payment every time. As a buyer, I have left one neg in 10-12 years.

    HOWEVER I feel the feedback system as it is is a complete farce. No matter how you feel about the transaction as a seller, you are forced to leave a positive or "leave feedback later".

    Why on earth even bother to ask the sellers opinion? Feedback should be eliminated and buyers and sellers records of SNAD's, late payments, failure to pay, bid retractions, etc should be listed, that would give you a better idea of what kind of person you were dealing with.
