OT: Ebay Seller Strike

[Archive]

Posted By: Phil

The way that I look at the feedback system is simple: I am primarily a buyer, but have sold in the past and plan to sell more in the future.

My method is this:

As a Seller: If the person buying my item sends me money in a timely manner, I leave feedback immediately. He has lived up to his side of the transaction.

As a Buyer: I leave feedback only after the seller leaves feedback for me and if I am satisfied with the seller, shipping time, etc.

I don't like when sellers will only give you feedback after you leave them positive feedback first. Heck, I lived up to my side of the bargain for paying you quickly. If I pay you quickly and you take 3 weeks to send me an item, I would expect that I would get positive feedback and the seller may get negative feedback.

I have never left negative feedback for anyone. I have come close a few times, but figured what was the sense, that will just make that person send retaliatory negatives to me.
