Greetings,

"You need to wait 7 days before you can leave neutral or negative Feedback for this seller."

I have seen this when leaving feedback, and was just curious as to why it appears?

Thank you, in advance, for your input.

Kind Regards,

Diane

It is a benefit of being a power seller.

They have a proven record as a good seller so the theory is buyers need to think twice before leaving an emotional response before a factual and fair one.

Hi kopenhagen5,

Thank you for your reply. I understand now. I was wondering if I had done something to cause the message to appear ... lol

I always contact the seller, if I have an issue with them, or their product, before leaving feedback. It just seems like common courtesy to do so. But, I suppose, 'common courtesy' might be in short supply these days. Sad.

Once again, thanks for the input. Much appreciated!

Kind Regards,
Diane

You're welcome.

Yes there are some strange sorts out there, hence the slight buffer for PS's.

Not to mention the newbies that jump on eBay without reading how the site works.

It is just a bad behaviour from ebay to enforce you not to be honest!

Just money ,, no honesty

Don't buy cheap rubbish from China. Simple.

You cannot wait 7 days to be honest about a transaction?

It cannot bother you too much if a week's delay causes you to be dishonest.

If you cannot be bothered waiting a few days to leave feedback you are not too bothered about the transaction as a whole.

Just replying to the 2 posts that think the 7 day wait does not encourage honesty. Not sure of the connection myself.

This is disgusting. I have been ripped off by a power seller who didn't describe their product clearly enough. And the product itself is not labelled adequately eg totally nonsensical English gibberish for documentation and labeling, and inadequate display specs for power usage, needed to verify what kind of power point adapter is needed for international use. Clearly this is just the scum at Ebay taking bribes or kickbacks to protect their bigger predatory sellers.

I don't care if it's made in China. It has to be fit for purpose, or it this theft. You are a capitalist extremist who thinks captialists should be allowed to steal from people.

What a nonsensical response. if you haven't anything cogent to say

This is to protect ebay thieves and con-artists from the justifiable anger of their ripped off victims.

If you are buying electrical items from China that are NOT compliant with Australian Standards, you might not care BUT your insurance company most certainly would care if you damaged your house, yourself or someone else because you used non-compliant electrical goods.

Sometimes it is better to be thought a fool than open your mouth & remove all doubt.

Learn to read the date of a thread so that you don't use profanity & attack a member who has passed away.

I still believe, over a year later, that buyers need to use some level of due diligence. As padi said, if you buy non-compliant junk because it is cheap, you, personally, will be liable for any losses, injuries or deaths resulting from your purchase thereof.
