Attention sellers, lack of communication is unacceptable.

[arizonajack85022]

I don't mind a delay in delivery when there's a reason but when I emailed a seller twice in two days and got no response, I posted negative feedback.

So, my advice to all you sellers: Check your messages frequently and respond promptly when a buyer reports a problem.

If you already do that, fine.

This is addressed to those that don't and negative feedback might be the only way to get your attention.

Depends on the sentence it's used in...

OP = Original Poster

OR

Original Post

Soon buyers will be expecting us to instantaneously teleport their purchases to them, too.

[mcguire58]

Definitely on my blocked list...but then again this buyer probably couldn't afford the items I sell:))

I get notices of people buying from me many, many hours after paypal has already informed me. Don't forget that this is cyberspace too... lots of things can happen on the way to grandma's house.

I definitely agree with you. However I have waited more than 2 days to even weeks for a response, and it is rather frustrating.

There are some sellers that lack communication skills so I can say THUMPS up to you!

Over a year later and this thread is still going!

Wonder if the OP got his question answered? lol

If Ebay sellers weren't so grossly unprofessional they wouldn't have to worry about negative feedback. The fact is, they get way too many passes as it is, and this has fostered an epidemic complacency in the Ebay seller community. If you sell a product or service on Ebay, that is your job and you should perform it with some degree of professionalism, regardless of what your "real" job is. This is how the rest of the world works. If you don't like it, don't sell on Ebay.

"Because I'm the only opinion that counts to me."

Funny thing, your neg (opinion) on the buyer doesn't count to me.  Defeating the purpose of leaving it.

Although some of the responses to you are particularly abrasive (that's how this - and many - redundant forums work), it also seems to be pretty hilarious that you made a forum post discussion about your opinion while dismissing everyone else's.   I've negged many a seller for many things and I can't recall ever needing to announce it to everyone.

If you're that impatient, you should not buy online. Purchase your items directly from your local retail store so you can get instant gratification. 

Have you ever sold anything on ebay? If you haven't I suggest you try it for at least 30 days in order to get a different perspective of a transaction.

Now well into its second year, as a matter of fact...

I would assume so; he hasn't posted here since May of 2015...

[atoz4u]

There are no conversations in eBay forums anymore? No one is in here since 2017 ? Can't find hardly anyone with relevant issues for 2 years? What is going on? Everyone is going elsewhere for help?

Hi everyone,

Due to the length of time that has passed since this thread began, we have locked it from future replies. If this is still an issue that warrants discussion, don't hesitate to begin a new thread here.

Thanks.
