people are not leaving positive feedback

[barbara.taylor_6]

People   are   not   leaving     positive   feedback.   l  lowered   my  price   on   a   BUY  IT  NOW  at  the   request    of    somebody   who   said    could  i  lower  my  price   to   $40   from   $54   Can.  dollars.   I   answered   his   email   ,   and    said    yes   i   would   do  it.   He   answered   thanks   i  lowered  the   price  ,  he bought  it  ,   did   fast   expedited   shipping    but  there   was   a  1   week   delay   in   the  US  because  of   covid.    Anyway     as   usual    no  positive  feedback  even  though  i  left   positive   feedback    right    away.   Tired   of it.

Sell on eBay for the challenge,

Sell on eBay for the money,

Sell on eBay because you like to make your customers happy,

Sell on eBay because you love it,

and Sell on eBay because you know you're **bleep** good at what you do.

But don't sell on eBay for positive feedback alone.

And just to point out, how can you expect positive feedback when you have nothing listed for sale? You appear to be a sporadic seller. If you want more feedback it would help if you have revolving inventory available.

Online buying in general is way up overall, large and small vendors.  Almost none of them use a feedback system.  I think it is just the direction things are going now.  Folks buy and feedback is not a thing for most of them.

I have always left Feedback  when I receive payment  or the item as a Buyer.  It is something I like to do. Hit and Miss if I get return Feedback 

Often get Feedback other ways though from Customers writing thanking me. The best received form of Feedback is Repeat Buyers.   I don't sell a lot here now but often when I do get a sale it is from a repeat customer. I appreciate that form  of feedback more that I do a rating

As a seller, I leave feedback on shipment and include the shipping date and service, since I rarely track my shipments.

This account gets about 40% feedback. Another sells books and gets perhaps 35% return feedback. My newest account is below 10% return feedback.

But every one of the feedback I left was to a paying customer.

I'm with Liberace-- feedback or not, I'm laughing all the way to the bank.

BTW - the more demanding the customer, the more difficult he is likely to be. Never ask for FB, you may get it.

   As a seller I do not give feedback until I receive feedback from the buyer

The 99% of good buyers dont post fb at all, the other 1% see it as leverage.

You are not wrong. But sellers should keep in mind that Feedback Extortion is taken seriously by eBay and should always be brought to the attention of Trust and Security (bottom of most pages) or the FaceBook or Twitter customer support teams.

lol ebay takes it seriously, no they do not, they take themselves seriously, they have left me out to dry every single time I've requested help against fraud.

I have found that some buyers just do not leave feedback.  Once you get many

feedbacks on your account it doesn't bother you as much.  I have tried this recently :

*   I do not leave feedback for a buyer initially:

*  After I see the item has been delivered I message the buyer and say

   "if you were pleased with your purchase then please leave feedback for me

    and I will reciprocate".   This seems to work most times and prompts the buyer into leaving

    feedback.
