Who was the genius that decided to eliminate buyer feedback? If buyer feedback was optional then why did most sellers leave me feedback that showed me as a good buyer and prompt payer!

If seller feedback is optional then I see a need to reciprocate a purchase with no feedback for the seller!

If you were under the impression that feedback from a seller is mandatory, I am honestly surprised.

 

I won’t say any more than that on that aspect of it.

 

If you were of the view that your feedback is what enables you to buy on eBay, my surprise increases. (No feedback at all might possibly see you eyed askance by some sellers… but even if your feedback score doesn’t move now, you won’t find yourself blocked on that basis.)

 

Given the above, more feedback is not really likely to do anything for you… except to give you a visceral thrill as the number climbs. That is entirely possible. People do collect the oddest things… and why should you not collect eBay feedback for your own satisfaction?

 

I collect Georgian period silverware and writing boxes myself.

I still wonder what buyers think they're going to do with their feedback that tells them that they paid quickly and they are a valued customer. It's not like you can take those green dots out on a date or anything.

They could be the buyer from hell and they'll still be able to buy, so buyer feedback is absolutely pointless.
