Buyers not leaving feedback

[ice_man_666]

For the last few months or so in all my 8 years on ebay, i have never seen so many buyers not leaving feedback, has anyone else notice this or happens to them alot?

Feedback is voluntary. 

When ebay was newer, many were keen to follow instructions on proper ways to do things. Now, I think there are more dabblers and every Tom, Dick and Sally getting on the internet to make purchases.

However, no feedback = happy buyer.

Keep in mind many leave feedback after they receive the reminder at 30 days after the sale. 😉

How many more do you want......or need?

you have left 2264and received 2200.... that is way above the ebay average for f/b

and as p-j said.. how many more do you want and what will you do with them?

I remember one seller saying here on the boards that they put their feedback score onto thier job resume.  That was a different use for feedback.  But weren't they devastated when they got their first negative!

As far as seller feedback goes, I can understand the OPs concern. The more positives, the less impact a neg will have. The more DSRs left, the less impact 1 or 2 stars will have. As there are sanctions if too many low DSRs are received, and these are partly % based, then continued feedback from buyers IS important, as you sellers should know.

Im really hoping to recieve some more feedback from my recent sales as I want to get my numbers up.  But I can remember back to when i was just a buyer,   what a pain it was for me to leave feedback-  im naturally a non-communicator lol, which ill have to improve  on if i want to be a good seller.      In the end,  buyers just dont realize how important feedback is to the seller unless they have sold something themselves.    In fact I didnt even know you got feedback as a buyer untill just a few months ago,  I had just never ever looked.       Ive been wondering myself if there is graceful way of saying how much you appreciate feedback, a little blurb  that you could put somewhere on your listing where they will see it.

Totally pointless putting anything in the listing - it's not like the buyer will go back and look at the listing again after the delivery arrives.

The place for messages like you are thinking about is in the "thank you note" that goes inside the parcel.

The exact same place you need to write "please contact me at [email address] or eBay Messages if you are unhappy in any way"
