Message:: [QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 25724228, member: 25270"]Perhaps a longer answer than necessary, but here's my thoughts. Feedback on eBay is important when you're just getting started. If you only have a few feedbacks, people might not want to buy from you, and if you get one bad one it can seem like an overly big deal. Once you have thousands of feedbacks, the new ones don't matter so much. The biggest reason I want to get them is I know when I get feedback that the item arrived. I tend to get one or two negative feedbacks a year and it's always for something stupid, like someone in a foreign country didn't receive their order and just left negative feedback without even contacting me, or one guy gave me a negative because he felt I charged too much for shipping (I charge $1.10.) This is why it really annoys me when I see people on here who say they will only buy from sellers with 100% positive feedback, because even the best sellers get a negative once in awhile. But on the other hand, you can have the best experience with me and leave me a glowing feedback, and in a few days it's pushed off my first page and no one will ever see it, so how much does it really matter? I really only check a seller's feedback if I'm worried he might be selling fakes and I want to see if anyone is accusing him of doing so. Otherwise it doesn't matter much.[/QUOTE]
