Ebay etiquette

Post by kevspeed »

So what is the 'correct' etiquette for leaving feedback on ebay?
I normally wait for feedback if im selling,just to make sure that the item has arrived,and the buyer is happy with his/her purchase so i can rectify any problems if they occur.
At the moment i have 13 items i sold,from back to January 13th,and still no feedback,all paid for and posted.
When i receive an item ive bought,if alls ok,ill leave feedback straight away.

There are no rules like anything else on tinterwebb. Some people (buyers and sellers) just can't be bothered to leave feedback. Annoys me as well.

I leave it, if quite satisfied or completely dissatisfied there can be no in between,on the fence I pass.
only 50 % of sellers leave it for me
basically it is a farce specifically designed to give false security
1/2 of those leave it automatically as payment process............. really nothing else a buyer can do to rate higher
1/2 of the remaining only once I give them 5 * of the meaningless choices

as buyer with a good seller you have 2 choices do nothing or meaningless bla bla + 5* for all boxs anything less and seller gets higher fees or not promoted in pop ups,buried in a search or loss of ghost bids(but * questions are limited to leading answer)

buying the item is the answer for 2 questions most every time.you accepted the costs/dates so say yes you liked the terms

if you are forced into (no choice) inflated shipping why ask if $12 was ok when $5 would have been enough?
if delivery estimate of 3-21 days, changes to day of delivery why ask if it occurred within the month or x day?
you emailed for a week to get seller to combine 3 items to 1 shipment BIN $8 vs $20 shipping why ask if final cost is ok?
