eBay feedback

[vmaximus]

Is it me or are people on evilbay reluctant to post feedback anymore. I am mainly a buyer and if i purchase something from a business they generally post positive feedback to me within the day that i paid mostly same day and i reply to there's as soon as my item arrives, but just recently i have sold some items and guess what not a single person has returned feedback even though i posted theirs as soon as i was notified payment had been received, and 1 person wanted to retract a winning bid with the excuse he hadn't read the description but had increased his bid 5 times, another won the bidding did not pay totally ignored message and invoice so i had to report and re list. I always leave positive feedback but am in the minority or do people not bother trying to keep 100% poss f/back anymore. This is just a Pee'd off rant but i would like to know what other people think who sell and buy more than me on this site. Pud.

I do not bother with eBay anymore, neither for buying or selling.

The new improved eBay site if far from that its gone " All woke geek speak in hieroglyphics for Nerds ..
It's a nightmare much of the time for me & I consider my self reasonably au fait with a computer & online buying , If it's not an easy thing to do people won't give feed back ..if there was a simple , " My Feed Back button " on the opening page where you log in it would be much better .

I don't have that high a feedback but its 100% and if nobody ever reply's i would always be 100% but i think the point being the higher the feedback shows prospective buyers that the item that you advertise and the p/p that you are charge shows that you could be more trusting than some one with a poor rating but is seems over time that left positive f/back gets less and less.
Rant over. Pud.

Seller's feedback is generally automated. I tend not to bother leaving feedback any more, Ebay is just beyond all that now. Since they stopped sellers being truthful it all got a bit pointless. I am not generally swayed by feedback scores either.

 

[Blobber]

I sell a lot of stuff but normally only as buy it now, I always leave feedback but only when I have received feedback from the buyer as that way I know they are happy
With regard to selling on ebay its a hateful place but then most selling platforms are!!

 

[roblane65]

+1 above .........apart from the selling that is , I think I've sold 2 things since they changed the banking stuff .

Wont sign up with photo copy DL or passport as they keep asking for.

I always leave feedback and most businesses have it automated to leave straight away. I have noticed that I rarely seem to receive feedback after selling anything though. Probably less than half of the people bother. Bit annoying but not much you can do. I never chase anything up though, assuming no news is good news!

Before the paypal split used to do quite a lot on fleabay , I always try to to feedback but they make it hard to if it's negative ! so how do warn against carp sellers and buyers

I leave feed back on the odd occasion I use EBay.

 

[badabec]

If the item I've bought turns up, is what I ordered and works then I leave a bland positive feedback 'a pleasure to deal with, thanks'.
It used to be that once you started typing, it would autofill the rest of the sentence. Not any more.
Now I wait until I need to leave about 10 lots of feedback, type one, then copy and paste.
If there is a mess up, I always message the seller first to sort it out. I don't go steaming in with negative feedback and complaints.
Every time, bar once, the problem was resolved and I left positive feedback.
With my Chinese Diesel Heater I got PayPal involved, sorted in one day. I didn't leave any feedback at all.

Feedback used to be the core roots of Ebay but now it means nothing to people..i find it a bit rude if i leave positive for a person and they don't bother back.

 

[tom2207]

i bid on a brand new ewm tig this morn , up to 700 quid ish ... no prob won the item
now i have a legal obligation to pay etc etc
two mins later the seller reversed the sale , item no longer available / damaged
in other words he didnt like the end price , but as he had no reserve that was the price .... but he can back out of the deal at will and i cant leave negative feedback as there was no sale
e bay is going to the dogs

 

[roblane65]

Yep had that happen a couple of times, to dense or tight to put a reserve on .Easier still put your start price at the minimum you'll take for it , saves messing a round . Sometimes I think it's sort of free add's then trying for deal outside of ebay their info's usually there somewhere.
