Feedback Please!!!

How come no one leaves feedback anymore?! I check on the shipment of my items to make sure they recieve their product, I go out of my way to make sure people are getting my best service... Yet it seems that only a few people leave me feedback. On top of that, I leave feedback as soon as I recieve payment and rarely get any back in return. Buyers!!--- Please leave feedback for sellers! When we get bids for our auctions, it's because buyers are trusting us to ship exactly what they are bidding for and shipping it fast and cheap. Our feedback is one of the first things bidders look at as far as our experience and reliability. It is important to us as sellers to show we can be trusted. And after an easy and fast transaction, we feel we are owed our recognition.

And thanks again to those of you who know the importance of feedback and who have left it :)

I know you what it to build up your numbers, but there might be a time when you don't care about it. I have over 1,200 items the last 3 months that I haven't received any for yet.

Also, don't ever bug anyone for feedback. That will bring you a negative faster then anything.

Oh, no... I never bother anyone about it, I'm just getting a little frustrated that it seems no one cares about leaving it anymore :(

Know what you mean. It's a dilemma both ways. We have 410 feedback, but we've left 478. That's quite a difference. The only time we have EVER missed feedback, is when we weren't pleased and didn't want to leave a neutral or negative, and chose not to leave anything. That's only been a couple of times. Sellers can be just as bad.

This past month in preperation for the feedback policy change I started leaving feedback for my buyers as soon as the items shipped.

I used to average only 60% of my buyers would leave me feedback, now it is spiking closer to 90%.

I was a little hesitant at first to take the risk, but it is paying off for me!

Feedback is voluntary so you will never get feedback for every transaction. Too many view it as a hassle.

I have between 20-50 unreciprocated feedbacks at any given time. That's normal.

And I actually get more reciprocal feedback now...waiting to hear that the item was received rather than at payment.

Yeah, in the past I tried waiting to get feedback, and then leaving it. And caused me to get a Neutral! They claimed that I was "holding my feedback hostage". Needless to say, I started leaving it when they paid LOL.

I have to laugh...I used to ask that question too!! I should have about a thousand or better and I'm still around the upper 600s......and it's always been like that, you ship 10 things out and your lucky if you get feedback on 6 of them. You can only do your best and hope it counts with most of them.... :o)

I've never once had anyone question my policy. Strange.
