does this happen to you?buyer insisting on feedback asap

[shoptilludroptara]

hi

im finding this weird never had this before

a buyer keeps emailing me over and over several times a day

saying they paid me so leave them feedback now

they only paid on sunday night

and i post usually in 2 working days(but had a double shift so didnt get it done today)

will post tomorrow

but i always leave feedback once i know item arrived safely

just the way i do things

emailing me over and over telling me to leave feedback asap annoys me

i wouldnt do it to a seller or buyer

About what?

Tara, some buyers seem to think that buyer's feedback is relevant, and that if they've paid they deserve it. They also seem to think (regardless of your terms) that items should be posted the same day, even if (as was the case here yesterday) it's a public holiday or they buy in the evening.

I wouldn't sweat it, except to note that you will probably get a neg, and I suspect if you check the buyer's feedback left you will find they have left a few.

Hi Tara,

Yes...I know...Some days are just full of total...fmmfffmmWits 🙂

If it helps at all...just think of this clown thumping his fist on his computer desk making all sorts of noise...Imagine he is knocking over his jar of peanuts in his rampant keyboard tapping....Think of him spilling his pressious bong water...and think of his faithfull wife sitting there saying "yes dear"...

Just contact eBay and let them deal with it...BUT...

If you really feel that you need to reply....Do This !! ... Reply with ---- You will like this --- Acknowledged

Yep...bewtifull is it not ?...I know that the urge to reply is strong....so if you must, just reply with the single word.... Acknowledged.

TBH, one of the reasons I leave FB on receipt of payment is to avoid the messages from buyers who think it's ok to dictate to someone else when a voluntary action (leaving feedback) should take place (seriously, it gets up my nose quite a bit  ).

Personally, I would just reply calmly, factually, and try to leave no room for negotiation, as it were. Depending on the item, I may also fork out for registered / signature on delivery if not already included. 

eg, something like...(which you are free to use, edit or disregard as you see fit  The email updating the postage status is auto-generated by eBay and sent to the buyer if an item is marked as posted. If you have a tracking number, add that to the item in your sold list and it will automatically update as posted). 

Dear [buyer],

Thank you for your messages regarding your concerns, I am happy to provide you with the following details.

I will be posting your item tomorrow (Wednesday 2nd of October), which is within the postage time as noted on the listing. You should receive an email updating you on the postage status of your order, which will include tracking details and you will then be able to check the delivery status via [website] [only add that info if the package will have a tracking number].

I can assure you that I both understand and respect that feedback is important, and I do leave it for all successful transactions, however, in return, please respect the fact that the decision when to leave it is mine. Thanks again for your purchase, if you have any concerns regarding anything else, please let me know.

Kind regards,

[Seller].

I reiterate - about what?

You have pretty much a 0% hit rate on your advice being either relevant or accurate. It might pay you to actually get a handle on how things work with eBay and Paypal before you offer more 'advice' that doesn't have regard to the facts.
