Seller feedback expectations

One thing that really annoys me about eBay is the expectation some Sellers have regarding the leaving of feedback.  You know how it goes 'you leave positive feedback and I will leave positive feedback'.  Really as as Buyer all I can do is buy the product and pay quickly.  If I pay quickly then I should get positive feedback regardless of the feedback I might leave.


The Seller has a number of aspects they should be judged against, such as actually delivering a decent product, posting it promptly and providing some decent communication.


A number of Sellers are really good and will leave feedback as soon as I pay for the goods and that is appropriate.  Come on eBay make Sellers leave feedback as soon as the Buyer lives up to their side of the bargain.  If not I am considering leaving feedback only for those Sellers that treat me right.

Thanks guys but don't pay any attention to my rants. That's mostly just what they are. Not constructive or wanting you to waste time on a reply, as nice as your replies are.


 


The best sellers on here are straight-forward and transparent. I'm timid and change often... ๐Ÿ™‚ eBay is not the place for me. ๐Ÿ™‚

I know what his worst problem is and he is lucky potential buyers don't know about it.



 


Yes, I know it too. I have shill bid numerous times. Probably about 10 times all up, give or take, over many months. It took a bunch of people rightly reporting me for it to stop and I have now stopped.


 


Simple, really. No one buys from me anyway... so it really won't make a difference admitting it or not. ๐Ÿ™‚

I assume that when a seller reports that they have lost the item after selling it cheaply at auction they are expecting a neg.
