    When you are starting out your sales/buy feedback is paramount because you want potential buyers/sellers to have complete confidence in you moving forward.

    Talking from a sellers position (11 of 13) you take all the risk,make all the effort and sometimes the loss,but that is alright.

    But what really pisses me off is when a buyer has received the item and is happy with it and says so but cannot make the small effort to leave you your deserved feedback taking only a few minutes.

    You will see the buyer online even selling their stuff but still cannot make the effort to thankyou via the feedback system :mad:

    This is rude,selfish,lazy and completely unnecessary and no way to treat a fellow member,if you are dead or in hospital I will forgive you otherwise no excuse!

    I don't care if anyone gets upset by this because they should have done the right thing instead of inspiring me to draft this thread.

    I hope people read this and do the right thing by the members who they deal with binding buyers/sellers together instead of leaving a bad taste in their mouths.

    If it was hard I would say so and stand up for you but it is not.

    Thank God I have finished buying and selling for now :confused:

    Note - just for the record I am owed 2 sales feedbacks out of 13 sales :rolleyes: despite contacting people.

    Hmmm
    You kind of crossed the line there bud.
    Ok...Firstly there are a lot of us that don't care about feedback for one reason or another..
    Then I politely paid you $5 more than you asked...no big deal
    Then you asked me if I was a Christian because you were a Christian...You're really setting a shitty example for your fellow Christians..me excluded of coarse.
    May I suggest in the future if feedback is so important just politely ask, say something as simple as
    "Hey i'm new here could you please leave me feedback as its important to build my reputation"
    I would have given it to you then and there..simple.
    Yeah I have been here since 2011 and frankly its dickheads like you that make me wish it was still 2011.
    Our trading is done, lose my number.

    Seeing as you noted in your original post you dont care if anyone gets upset Im going to give you the straight dope...or give it to a dope straight if you will.
    You are not owed shit.
    Not only are you not owed shit but the way you have gone about this is quite childish.
    A pm to the intended parties POLITELY asking them to leave feedback would have got a better resolution with out people thinking you are a self entitled prat...by the way didnt you say a month or so ago you were leaving this forum never to return?

    its up to the buyer to give their feedback anytime it pleased them
    can't be forced, buyer did not owed seller anything
    it can be just a transaction, its just business
    unless its a trade, story can be different

    Some dont give feedback because they want to keep anonymous too, there is a bunch of reasons why they dont and as said before its completely up to them if they do or dont.

    I have had alot that haven't and i have probably forgotten to as well but it happans and its the same on Ebay.

    Proverbs (King James edition) 18.17

    He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.


    What does it matter...old mate has as number 5 on his shit list so won't read this.


    I guess Matthew 22:39 is out of the question: And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

    You don't have to believe in everything what's in The Old Testament. Sometimes you correct Fool and he will become Wiser as well, but we should never ever judge someone if we don't want to be judged.

    Understand this.
    I'm a buyer, and always happy to apply feedback. Always.
    When I have received the package, will always give feedback !
    But, here's the thing ..
    Most will not send, untill funds are showing cleared.
    It's at this point, when the seller will send off the purchase, and usually a track number.
    So now, the buyer has nothing.
    The seller is enjoying the funds, and has the metal.
    My take is, when the funds have cleared, then the buyer is entitled to positive feedback.
    The seller isn't entitled to positive feedback, untill the metal is received.

    I often ask, after receiving the mail, "may I leave feedback"
    Most agree.

    Some sellers, offer feedback, if I too respond with feedback.
    As in, they're stacking feedback scores !

    If you're a seller, and the funds are cleared, offer feedback politely, doesn't take much, but means alot.
    If you're a buyer, and you're happy with the transaction, do the same.

    does not get any more simpler than that !

    I had a few that chose not to leave me feed back for buying from them. At first I was a bit cheesed off but later realized it's their choice. And it was my choice not to buy from them again, which I did.

    On receiving the package I let the seller know and thank them for packing it well ect, If they haven't left a feedback im not as Im the one as a buyer that took all the risk.
    just like ebay seller should leave first as they have the money and goods. out of 5 or 6 buys only one bothered to leave feedback so I did also.
