Has anyone else ever had problems with people that DON'T leave feedback(even after paying for the item AND leaving feedback yourself- usually after recieving won item etc) on Ebay?

This is mostly aimed at the Seller(but can also happen with buyer) but for me it is the seller :mad: This has happened to me twice recently(2 dvd's I won on Ebay- they turned up fine, no problems there- but the time it took for them to respond with feedback(and hopefully positive) from them both was lousy to say the least.

I had to email the 2 different sellers a few times(not continously and would of eventually given up if they still hadn't- the 1st one eventually did, positively I might add and waiting for some response from the 2nd).


Am I over reacting? I mean it is especially important to build up some rapport on ebay(and in general auction sites) but it doens't help when it is one way traffic!!! :o

Anyway that is my 5 cents for the day......:PI

That ****es me to the max...

It is not over reacting, simply common courtesy for someone who buys/sells from/to you, to give a rating. That is the idea/concept of online auctions.

I have successfully chased people down for feedback, sometimes weeks/months after the transaction.

I find it best to rate the buyer/seller asap then bug them about it every now and then until they do it. Don't get agro, just kill them with kindness.

Good luck.

I used to care, but now that i'm +155 It dont bother me much anymore :p

I dont mind when people send me emails asking for feedback, infact I would encourage it because with the amount of auctions I've had over the past month or two, it's too hard for me to go through and work out who I have left feedback for and who I haven't.

The one thing that currently sh*ts me to the max is when I get an email two days after sending with stupid one sentence messages like Disc Has Not Arrived. Please Advise.

I mean far out!!! You paid for bloody standard post. What do you expect, friggin hand delivery? Sure, let me whip out the old c/c and I'll meet you there in five hours. :mad: :rolling:

It's not a rule to leave feedback on eBay, I only had 20% of buyers leave feedbacks.

In your "My Ebay" there is a link called feedback, when you're there there is a message that says

" Need to leave feedback? Find all listings from the past 90 days that need your feedback."

and there is a button you can push to leave feedback, and it shows all the people you havn't left feedback for yet.

I find this very useful.

I had one dude, who had 2000 positives and wanted feedback, I paid next day and the gooberfish never gave me any.

I think I have given out over 130 bits of feedback to receive maybe 80 in return. And all those are good.. (the one bad one, made note of leaving feedback)

This is the way i do it every two weeks or so if ive been a busy little bee.As for me i dont really give a crap if people leave feedback or not.The quantity isnt that important too me,its the quality of the feedback im more interested in.

Thanks. this thread reminded me I still have feedbacks to give. I havn't auctioned or looked to buy anything for a few weeks now, so it totally slipped my mind.
