I honestly have no problem wiht that from buyers. I have had automatic feedback set up upon payment for years. If you check my profile, you will see 100% feedback left, 100% feedback received. But it has cost me dearly. It is now jsut too hard on me.
The feedback system is a sham for both buyers and sellers. We pressure buyers to NOT leave less than five stars as it sticks on on record a year. Now, I am not worried about the customers seeing that. BUT, ebay, then PENALIZES my fees for six months for not meeting their perimeters! We are all just lower income people or maybe middel, who make a vey small sum of money on the items. I have 200 listings and I promise you, I make a few hundred dollars a month. Postage goes up twice a year. Customes constantly accuse us of ripping them off on shipping, but buy it anyways even thou it is listed. Every penny a buyer spends including shipping, has 13% in fees (10 percent ebay , 3 percent pay pal). Tape, home printing which is very expensive, envelopes bubble wrap and paper rolls. I MUST use tracked shiping on ebay or again, I am penalized for it! I wish I had a nickel for everytime I get told off on shipping by phone or text and email. How many people who have falsely accused me of lying, misleading them, even though these people got a 100% refund often with out me asking for a return. And me doing it instantly.
The feedback system should NOT charge sellers wiht MONETARY punishment. It happened to me once, it was 20% for six months. I had no idea to dispute feedback. I happend to get a few in my first months of selling. Crazy stuff like me over charing them for shipping, which was a downright lie. NEVER have I not give 100% refunds even when they are wrong and very rude. I take their word and dont make them prove a thing. I have to tell you, above the top customer service simply does not work. But I do think, you will see more and more of the good sellers ignoring ebay and moving elsewhere. We will keep our listings as we pack every day. But the abuse is getting jsut too high from the people. I jsut refunded a person who sent me a text. She bought two .99 items. I LOST money on the shipping, which she clearly saw before she paid. She has my postive feedback. Now she sent me a nasty text about leaving me bad feedback ( I had refuded her wiht a phone call! I ENCLOSE MY NUMBER on a big page in each package) She cant get it thorugh her mind that my items are .99 each on this listing. She thinks they should be 10 for .99, so she was expexting twenty. The lisitng is OVERLY clear. I write it OUT, it is for ONE, I put it in the tite. She orders off a mobile phone in a hurry by the photo and DECIDED it should be 10 for .99. I lost all the shiping which is the biggest loss, the packing and printing, big loss, the items, and I get her telling me off evne thogh I refunded her within MINTUTES of the call. She cant read. Honestly, I am exhausted on ebay. its time to move on. I hope all the buyers consider that too. Really paying is an obligation to the buyer. It does not even need a feddback really, Who does that other than ebay? NO ONE. they do it to penalize the sellers. Unfortunatley I have had my last take of it. No more automatic feedback. I turned it off today. That is a very sad statemnet at how crazy the world has gotten. We get abused here as sellers. Today, it was unbearable. Can you imagine being called a liar after you refudned by a phone call or text? because the buyer DECIEDED my item is worth TEN for .99. It is a ridicuslous selling platform due to the feedback system. They PUNISH us forcing us to give in to the horrible people out there. If I get negitive feedback, I fight it. and guess what, I have had it removed 100% of the few times it happened. Tehy make you call and transfer a few hundred times to do this. But sorry, no more feedback until a few weeks go by. It causes me to be abused by buyers.
