I am so sick and tired of constantly being told to supply feedback for items well before they have arrived.

I ALWAYS leave feedback for items within 24 hours of delivery.

I presume you mean the eBay reminders

eBay

Please provide Feedback for your eBay items

and the big bold

There are items awaiting your Feedback

They are annoying but I just ignore them as a buyer ....and sellers hope that inexperienced buyers won't think they come from a seller who's asking for feedback

Not something other members have any control over

It is 100% an eBay thing, which you've been around (on eBay) long enough to know

I ignore them like I do any spam

As do most. I would be lucky to get feedback for 20% of sales. It's not the internet thing these days.

As the OP said, much of the time the annoying feedback reminders from eBay are sent before the item's even been received .

"It's not the internet thing these days"

I HATE eBay automated feedback in Australia for sellers with under 10 feedback as I've seen it given to scammers, dropshippers (from AliExpress) and sellers of counterfeit items.

A buyer can override automated feedback with their own feedback but does anyone know what shows on the Purchase History / Feedback page to indicate this ?

I wonder if we'll get this here for ALL sellers:

Starting at the end of April, UK sellers will automatically receive positive feedback for orders that use a tracked service, arrive on time, and have no buyer issues.

Automated positive feedback will be added to your feedback profile 7 days after tracking confirms successful delivery, provided the following criteria are met:

Tracking shows the item was delivered on time
The buyer hasn’t left feedback yet
The buyer hasn’t reported an issue with their order

This feedback will remain unless the buyer reports a negative experience, such as opening a return request, reporting non-receipt, or cancelling the order. Any positive or negative feedback subsequently left by the buyer will replace the automated positive feedback.
