Doesn't sound like that big of deal.  It should be considered as an element of your job, especially since an auction site is the medium of choice you chose to do business in.

 

+1. As an eBayer who uses the site as a business platform, it is your job to leave feedback. It literally takes 10 seconds per transaction. Frankly, if a seller didn't leave feedback after I purchased from him/her, I would never deal with them again.

Not a big deal?  10 minutes x 5 days = 50 minutes.  50 minutes x 4 weeks = 200 minutes.  200 minutes x 12 months = 2400 minutes.  2400 minutes / 60 minutes = 40 hours.  40 hours x 40-year working career = 1600 hours.

 

But, yeah, all of you are correct.  I should spend 1600 hours of my life doing something unnecessary and monotonous.

This thread is for my complaining.

 

We encountered a real-life example of your complaining right on this forum. Let us address and include this issue.

Do you expect people to leave you feedback?

 

 

I bet you do...

First let's respect Jason's request to stay on topic but I have to ask, isn't this topic about things that irritate us on eBay? If not I apologize for posting about feedback in the first place.

Please, it is J A Is Online or jais for short. Grrrr.

I already lost control of my own thread so please continue. ..and it wasn't your post that got us off track.

If it is, then I feel we are on topic.

I don't expect people to do anything.  I would like buyers to leave feedback.  Like I said earlier, if I make a consumer purchase, I usually leave feedback.

 it is your job to leave feedback.

 

Oh, is it.  Is it my job?  Please tell me what my job is.

Oh, is it.  Is it my job?  Please tell me what my job is.

 

Pretty sure, if you left feedback for your customers and fostered a good buyer-seller relationship life would be better. 

Oh, there seems to be some miscommunication here.  I always leave feedback for buyers.  What I am talking about is when I make a business purchase, I rarely leave feedback.

Oh Good Lord.

Oh Good Lord.

 

I make multiple purchases per day, which means I'd have to leave feedback on multiple items per day on different sites.  I sell full-time and already spend over 40 hours per week doing so.  I'm not going to waste even one second of my precious time on a daily monotonous task like that. 

 

I'll leave leaving feedback to the average buyer who makes only one or two purchases per week.

Wow don't you think you're pretty ******* important.  

Once you reach a certain point, no feedback = good feedback. Just pay me for the items puchased and we are good to go :D

Good point...fair enough.

Oh Good Lord.

Wait, you cook Spam ? 

 

 

-- That was an actual response from one of my co-workers.  Apparently in some parts of the country you eat Spam straight from the can.

I don't understand some of the people doing this. If you bought it, why wouldn't you just pay immediately. Every once in a while I get someone who asks me if they can pay in a few days and that is fine, but to just buy it and then let it sit there with no message.

What I hate the most on eBay are sellers who refused to send the items you won (and paid for) on auctions and then relisted the exact same item a couple of weeks later with higher starting price.  A complete waste of time
