<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 819855, member: 19065&quot;]I hear you Joe. </p><p><br /></p><p>eBay doesn&#039;t seem to care to send out email reminders to both parties that the duty of leaving feedback is in order after a transaction. I think this would help. eBid does remind you to leave feedback for one another which is a good thing for a starting company with lots of new members to get used to their site features.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can only guess that no response in feedback from a Buyer is a careless and/or irresponsible or even infrequent eBay Buyer, who also does not have Seller experience. I&#039;ve considered that perhaps they felt &#039;neutral&#039; upon receipt of their item and declined leaving any feedback. Perhaps they are Buyers who don&#039;t subscribe to the Feedback system knowing all the past problems between Buyers and Sellers, false Feedback profiles, know how eBay manages feedback issues, etc. I sort of look at it like no news is good news rather than getting a really week feedback message like &quot;Good item&quot; or merely &quot;A+&quot;&nbsp; That hardly says anything and is almost as good as having no comment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps eBay&#039;s Feedback system needs to show that the Buyer hasn&#039;t yet left feedback, but the item number of a successful sale should be visibly shown and indicate that the Seller left feedback. Anyone reading a Seller&#039;s feedback profile can filter comments you left for others as a Seller (that is left by you for your Buyers), so the truly investigative or inquisitive, can reverse look up your past successful sales and that you follow through with feedback.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are sending Insured items and worried the item didn&#039;t make it are you also sending with a tracking number? Whether by Delivery Confirmation, Signature required, Registered? All of those should provide you with an online report, visual signature, or receipt upon delivery of the parcel.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also the ability to mark your item(s) shipped in the drop down menu on the sold items list. That sends out a message to the Buyer that the Seller marked the item shipped on a specified date. That reminder would be the prefect place for eBay to include a feedback reminder to the Buyer. In your message to the Buyer you can also include your own reminders indicating if and when/how you leave feedback. I understand some Sellers will not leave feedback until after the Buyer leaves feedback, so it&#039;s sort of a standoff with some people. It&#039;s ridiculous. When selling I feel it&#039;s the Sellers responsibility to take the upper road and as soon as an item is paid for and/or as soon as the item ships and before the Buyer can receive it, the Seller should leave their feedback for the Buyer. This impresses many Buyers especially if there&#039;s a problem later as I believe it can lessen retaliatory feedback issues from misunderstanding or disgruntled Buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you haven&#039;t registered or used eBid, you might consider getting an account going with them. They are very similar to eBay but really seem to care about feedback at this time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
