Selling feedback

[rockyroad77]

Why can you only rate a selling transaction as POSITIVE in the feedback regardless of how the buyer performed ?

What do you mean ebay does it for you?

Obviously has auto feedback enabled. Which leaves feedback for buyers after they leave positive feedback for the seller.

I think also it depends on how many items you sell per week etc. If you have say 6 pickups a week  which means you have to be home at an approximate arranged time and you have 2 out of the 6 who dont contact to say they cant make it as arrange etc it can be a real pain when you multiply it out. Yet if you only sell now and then it is no big deal to have people stuff you around. As for the no neutral or negative feedback for seller.............I agree it is a two way street ..........without one you don't have the other. So many times I have read other peoples feedback and it has POSITIVE - no show no pay what a nighmare buyer! One I read had 100% feedback but after delay apon delay to come and pick up with every excuse under the sun I actually read the feedback which over the month had over 20 that were marked positive but the comments certainly was not.

That is because sellers can only leave positive feedback.

No buyer-only can have less than 100%.

Read your post. I suspect you have interchanged buyer for seller a few times

I sell far more than 6 items per week. But pickup is an optional extra. 99% of my sales get posted.

If you only sell pick up items, then your perception might be clouded. Most don't.

Oh I never knew it existed. Seems so impersonal.

I do agree with Crowsman that the customer is always right (even when they are wrong) BUT if you are happy with your purchase the least you can do is leave the seller positive feedback, it takes very little time and/or effort on the buyers behalf. And sellers like me who usually leave feedback as soon as the buyer has paid can feel satisfied that everything has gone smoothly. It also colors everything in blue, I like blue...

thecatspjs, I was about to suggest trying Free post on the cheaper items in your store but you've done that already. For anyone wanting to boost their DSR for post cost, Free post gives an automatic 5 stars. eBay also recommends it now.

I generally leave feedback as soon as the buyer has paid. Not everyone does contact if there's a problem but I let them know that they can. I agree with others, though, that the payment is arguably more important than the feedback but both help.

Jim Croce.

Isn't he in One Direction ?

[davewil1964]

I doubt it. He's dead. And a better musician than all of that mob combined. Especially as none of them seem to be able to play an instrument or write their own material.

At least in the old days, the manufactured bands had musicians in them. Until 'The Village people' came along.
