Please make giving feedback easier!!

silentdragon88 — Tue, 22 Aug 2023 02:59:51 GMT

When leaving feedback for orders, please make it easier to leave feedback.

For example, I don't mind selecting how many stars to give, and selecting it was a thumbs up, but don't give me how fast was the postage, was the product correctly described etc. Keep it simple, and optional for the rest of the requirements.

I have 100s of products I need to leave reviews for, but every single time I go to do them, I think to myself " are you kidding me?" Who on earth has the time for this? Why can't I just select all and press Excellent, instead I have to spend at least 2 hours reviewing, selecting, and writing in a comment that's a requirement for every product.

If this does not change, do not expect me to leave a review again, unless it's a negative one, as me and I'm sure many others would feel the same.

Other members cannot do as you instruct

It is just as hard to leave a neg/red dot as it is a green one, so that is just spiteful and when other sellers see you only ever leaving negs, you will be added to many party lists quick smart

Feedback is voluntary , reviews are mostly pointless (two different things)

Feedback is for sellers, not products

If it that hard to leave one or two words for good sellers just don't bother with any feedback at all

Your 'threat' not to do it is not going to change a thing

And since you have not bothered to leave any feedback at all in over a year, your post really is moot

You haven't left f/b for over a year....no wonder you have so many.

Why don't you do it when you receive your item?

To add to what Sandy said - you only have 60 days to leave feedback, so even if you have bought hundreds of items since your last feedback score more than a year ago, you would not be able to leave feedback for all.

Feedback is voluntary. If you don't want to leave feedback it's OK, but only leaving negative feedback does not seem right, and sellers will think you are never happy.

Thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to write this confusing gripe.

Which is it ' Feedback ' or ' Review '. ??

For someone so time poor, you certainly like to waste it.

What is it, 4 extra key strokes, or mouse clicks, in the time you wrote this, you could have left feedback for 1000's of items.

Judging from what the OP wrote, it is obvious that he meant feedback because he mentions postage time and then he mentions he has hundreds of items waiting to be reviewed, which is impossible because real reviews are only available on few pages. And his tag is "feedback".

Yes, he used the term "review" incorrectly, but it is easy to infer from his post that he meant "feedback".

Beejeebus - we really have it bad.

"They" and "company" are both open to interpretation, as they can both mean the seller or eBay, but if the OP doesn't come back we will never know what she meant.

Wrong thread! That was posted in the thread about the fire extinguisher.

It's pretty clear the poster has no idea they are two different things when they talk about spending 'two hours' 'reviewing and writing comments that is required for every product'

Considering reviews are for products and feedback is for sellers

They are far from new or inexperienced

Especially when they don't even know they are posting their list of demands on a member to member forum

Star rating is voluntary too, or optional to use the word the OP used. Or you can only rate one aspect and not the others. You don't click on the stars and then submit the feedback even after only entering one single word like "excellent". It really takes a few seconds to do that.

They could just put the letter A in the feedback line

No need to blatherskite on with all the things they are pretending is required

I have seen people leave a dot as feedback. I don't have much time either and am currently having lunch before going back to work (I never really have free time), but I always try to find a few minutes to leave feedback on all sites.

Re: Please make giving feedback easier!!

I guess that's why at some stage eBay thought that pre-filled feedback was a good idea. Most of us here hate(d) it, but obviously not everyone likes to write their own feedback.

Unusual Feedback Deadlines Leave eBay Seller Puzzled (ecommercebytes.com)

You don't need to leave feedback at all unless you really want to and as someone else said, you only get 60 days anyway, so if you're looking at stuff you bought ages ago, you can let the guilt drop away.

You can't leave feedback for those even if you wanted to.

If I had hundreds of purchases banked up, I don't know that I'd fancy leaving feedback for therm all either.

If there is something recent that you do want to leave feedback for, you don't have to rate the stars for every category. I think you can just write a quick comment too and cut and paste. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Job done.

Or I've seen other buyers just write A+++

But really, if you feel overwhelmed, just skip feedback altogether. Don't go giving some poor seller a neg just because you're upset at the ebay set up. That is counter productive anyway as you'd just be wasting more of your time. You really are not 'required' to write feedback. It's an optional extra.

I did not know I could leave reviews in bulk. I just found a way. I was doing them 1by1 by completing one, then going back, clicking review, and then filling it out. I was finding this extremely time consuming, but it is a lot easier now having a long list where I can easily fill them out.

By the way, I wasn't threatening anyone, and if that's what it sounds, that wasn't my intention. I'm sorry if you felt that way. I know these are optional, I was just expressing my opinion. I just wished it was quicker to fill out in bulk, but now that I found a way, It's much easier. 😄

Is there a way I can fill them out using the iPad app?
