As a seller, I usually wait for the person to receive the item and leave their feedback saying they got it and are satisfied with it. Then you know the transaction is complete.

southsider2k5 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I always wait for the seller to leave feedback first if I am the buyer. If I am the seller I check and make sure that the buyer recieved everything OK first, and then I leave feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I always leave feedback when the other party has completed their end of the transaction. I find that large sellers rarely leave feedback and when they do, it is canned. I do not place much faith in the feedback system. Too much threat of retaliation in the feedback. I have two negatives, both from the same seller, at the same time because I posted negative on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always mention the fast payment when you leave the feedback. I sold a GI Joe figure one time and when the buyer got it he found a tiny little crack that I had overlooked and wanted a refund. I didn't have a problem with it and went ahead with the refund and we both agree on positive feedback in the end. If things would have gotten ugly I wouldn't have wanted to leave positive feedback beforehand. As a buyer I leave feedback as soon as I get the item.

Yea.. 4 emails since it ended. First.. Hey.. mailing your item tomorrow, don't forget to leave feedback. #2 - yesterday - mailed your item, dont forget to leave feedback. #3.. just wondering if you're getting my emails.. you didn't leave feedback yet.. #4.. are you going to leave feedback? And FYI.. feedback is totally voluntary. You don't have to leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had reasons to (nothing major).. but sometimes it's just better to say nothing at all. I left neutral once. I paid for something and then waited 3 weeks to receive it. I emailed the seller a couple of times and his response was that he kept "forgetting" to take it to the post office. I finally got it and it was in good condition so that was my only complaint. The only time I've left negative is when a buyer refused to pay and ignored numerous emails and a dispute set up through ebay. After I did it he left me one saying he paid and I try to make him pay twice. :rolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent her a money order for the auction I won. A little over a month later I got the package in the mail. I thought a month was way too long. She said it would be there in a week.

Chisoxrd5 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Lol...I just leave feedback whenever I either get paid (seller) or when I recieve the item (buyer). I've probably done over 400 ebay transactions and only have 225 feedback (no negatives)...I could careless if I get the feedback as long as I avoid any negatives. Once you have 100 plus without a negative people trust you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSouthSider59 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 (edited) e-Bay feedback used to mean something, means nothing now, imo........I have had so much no feedback left for me, i refuse to leave it first, either as a buyer or seller, until it's left for me first, that's my policy on it, others may have their own views........
