People suck at leaving feedback on Ebay

[nick1985]

Not sure what happened, but I'd say only 2-3 out of every 10 buyers bothers to leave feedback anymore.

Pisses me off!!!

Quick replies. WOW!!! AMAZING POSTERS!!

 

[thraashman]

This thread was well packaged and arrived quickly. Would post with again. A+

I think with most of the items now being from "ebay stores" people quit caring.

 

[mcurphy]

As long as the people who do leave feedback, leave positive feedback, I don't care how many buyers or sellers leave feedback for me.

The number of feedback isn't as important as the overall rating itself.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Boring thread topic, too many cliche responses, took too long to load. Would not read again. AVOID THIS USER. F-----

 

[yllus]

That reminded me to leave feedback on a recent transaction, so thanks!

 

[DrPizza]

Feedback has always been broken. It's just that more people are finally realizing that for the most part, it's pointless.

The NEFS were quick and relentless. Great poster!!! A+++

That goes both ways. I always leave feedback as a buyer, and I only get feedback from about half of the people I buy from.

Early on in the wild west days of Ebay (before there was paypal and ebay would NOT stand behind transactions in any way) feedback actually had a purpose and was somewhat accurate.

But for the last decade or so it's been a total joke and just a matter of vanity.

I hate eBay

I know this has nothing to do with feedback but it just another reason I hate ebay on top of feedback.

Back when ebay motors was a flat 25.00 listing fee and a 25.00 final value fee I listed an aution sniped with someone with a 0 feedback. I believe his was before feedback limits.

I asked them to refund the listing fee they would only issue a credit for the FVF. I told them I wouldn't be paying it and Ebay immediately banned my account and I haven't had an account since. On top of My father had to prove that he wasn't me on a couple of occasions as their system would think it was me making a new account and ban his account. I think he even had to send him a copy of proof such as an ID or whatnot.

I refuse to deal with anything eBay or PayPal. I cannot stand them both.

This trend coincided with the new feedback system. A lot of people don't see the point as you can't leave honest feedback on what buyers suck and a lot of buyers don't care to leave feedback if the cross-prompting for mutual gain isn't in place.

Once you get a decent amount of feedback, you kind of stop worrying about that. I could understand how it would be frustrating for new users trying to build up their feedback, though.

Good ranter, sober whining, will read and reply again A+++++++++

I never leave feedback. I only buy - seller never leaves it first, so I won't leave it to them. I rarely use it so a high feedback is worthless anyways.

 

[marvdmartian]

Yeah, feedback is pretty useless, when so many sellers use it like a reward for leaving them positive feedback. I realize there's a lot of picky jerkweed buyers out there, that will leave a neg feedback for the stupidest reason. But for the rest of us, like me, who pay as soon as I get the notification that I've won, why wait? I mean, I did my job, what's the use of making me wait??

Not sure what happened, but I'd say only 2-3 out of every 10 buyers bothers to leave feedback anymore.

Pisses me off!!!

Well..I'd say wait until they leave feedback before giving them feedback - that seems to be the trend lately. Or just send them a short email [via ebay] and ask them to leave feedback?

 

[CraigRT]

Would read again. A+++++++++++++++++++++++

Typical first ATOT responses

 

[eplebnista]

I hate eBay

I still buy, but no longer sell.

I always leave feedback when items arrive though.
