Purchase feedback

sebastiancobb — Sun, 12 May 2024 02:56:27 GMT

How odd, I've just notice I "have" to rate the item I've purchased to leave seller feedback. I buy a lot of films and music that I don't watch or listen to for months after purchase. Hence, I can no longer give seller feedback without reviewing the actual item. I don't know how long it's been like this, however, I no longer feel comfortable leaving feedback at all. ebay just continues to get.... worse (well done)!

Quite new, but it has been mentioned a few times now on the forum here

Just another way eBay 'helps' sellers (not)

How hard is it really to leave a quick thanks when you receive your item. Most seem to find the time to complain though.

The OP is happy to give feedback, it's the review he's objecting to.

I have just left 3 x feedback for purchases and was not asked for a review of the items.

I have noticed people complaining about this over the last few weeks.

I have not been asked for a review before leaving feedback.

Maybe it's only certain items/categories?

Perhaps someone can steer us to what kind of purchases.

Ie : a toaster - a laptop - a sheet set..............................

Not sure why they are doing this - seems a bit random - to have to review the actual product being sold.

And not the experience with the seller.

I've noticed a couple of posts mentions DVDs, so maybe things like movies, music, or books?

It's certainly not happening with stamps.

LOl - that was a really carp movie I purchased - so let's leave a review.

Good grief.

Absolutely! I can't give feedback on the item as I haven't listened to it or watched it! I do want to leave feedback for the seller who has done everything right, however, making both mandatory means I can do neither ;-(

This is a terrible ebay policy that has no upside, given most item reviews will be worthless (ie people reviewing an item they've never heard/seen).
