Which band is he the leader of ? It can't be the Beatles......

You seem to be getting somewhat bitter these days, Trev.

Not exactly Dave - the problem is most of my jokes are weak.

Understand that. All of mine are.

Forgot to add the last bit of that propsal and that is once feedback leaving period is up then hidden feedback becomes visible, whether left in return or not. Point being feedback cant be influenced by that left by other member, nor held to ransom

Well I have the perfect examply of why sellers don't like to leave feedback before receiving it. My first neutral ever received states "There was no belt" now I refer twice in the first line of the listing to the missing belt, there are 7 large clear photos with not a single one showing a belt. And I offer full refund for purchases.

My buyer has not contacted me at all before leaving this feedback and yes I left feedback first. I'm just glad I don't leave glowing feedback for buyers who don't communicate with me 😐

GEEEZ what a load of hassles over feedback 😮

Is it all worth it?

I don't care if a seller leaves FB for me or not, and I decide upon what FB I'll give them, if any, based upon who things work out with them.

After all, isn't that the way it's supposed to work?

:^O:^O:-p

Since when was feedback anything other than a democratic choice? NO VOTE here, there is no category to vote in.

Feedback is voluntary, not compulsory. This tool is already misused. So, to request feedback from the seller is totally not on. Also to feel that the feedback should be left just because you have paid, (as you are suppose to)  is a sign that you are misinformedand and acting upon your emotion and not logic. Most sellers will leave feedback once the feedback has been left for them, so they could leave appropriate feedback themselves. The feedback detailed seller ratings and how quickly someone leaves feedback have nothing to do with the general sellers communication. And exactly what do you mean by waiting for a 4 days, or longer and then taking stars off for communication. Well, do not bother explaining it, I do understand, I am just dumbfounded. How would you feel if this rating system (on communication and payment) was available for the seller, as well as the option of leaving negative feedback? I shall think it would make you think twice about contacting a seller and asking them to leave you feedback.
