Buyer feedback
Is it in bad taste to ask a buyer to leave a review or feedback of their experience??? Or is that just frowned upon in general?? Im just starting off, so far it's been going well. But getting more actual reviews would help so much. How can I make sure buyers will participate??? Thanks in advance!!

eBay already reminds buyers multi-times to leave feedback. More reminders from sellers is just an annoyance and may result in the kind of feedback you don't want.
BTW, you've left only 6 feedbacks but your received 7 from your trading partners. Leave feedback for your buyers as soon as you ship and you'll receive more than if you hold it hostage until you receive it first.

Some buyers just don't ever leave feedback. My average, before eBay started automatic feedback, was about 30%.
You will get automated feedback for your sales if nothing goes wrong, so your number will go up 😉
The combined wisdom around here for years has been "don't poke the bear". Your buyer might get upset about being reminded and it might backfire on you.

That was very well said. You catch the buyer in a bad mood, or on the wrong day or something, and you might wish you'd left well enough alone. I have personally seen two negative feedbacks, one said "Will bug you for feedback" and the other said "Here's yer feedback. Happy now?" I took screen shots of those two, and I used to post them as an illustration, but I can't remember now where I saved the files.
