feedback

Is there any way to request feedback without sounding pushy? There should be a request feedback button to send to your buyers. I almost always get feedback when I buy, but it's really hit or miss for selling

Re: feedback

It's completely voluntary, and from what I've been told, ebay tends to frown on sellers who ask buyers for it.

I've had sellers I know ask me for it in the past, most are also friends of mine outside of this site, so it's more friendly conversation than anything else.  But having a seller I don't know ask for feedback out of the blue makes me bristle, especially when it's on the same day the item arrived.   I see your point, and I always leave feedback, but for what it's worth, I wouldn't start requesting it.

Re: feedback

Personally, I'd be resentful of a buyer who requested FB.  AFAIK, I have always left it.

Sometimes the reason a buyer does not leave it is that he was not 100% satisfied with the transaction, but didn't want to be responsible for trashing the seller's FB.  That's a sleeping bear you do not want to poke.

Re: feedback

I've never heard of ebay minding if we ask for feedback.  Heck, they send reminders themselves.  It is buyers that usually don't want the annoying requests.  I wish ebay wouldn't do it either on our behalf.  Each time we ask for feedback, we run the risk of it being a negative.  No feedback is better than that.

Re: feedback

I get feedback on less than 15% of sales here on eBay. I have had 1 feedback on AMZ over the last 500 or so sales.

If you are talking about feedback for this account you posted with, your account looks great at a quick glance.

I would not be concerned.

Re: feedback

If they aren't happy to leave it, and you push, you may not get a happy feedback left for you.

Re: feedback

Ebay takes care of that reminder for you, so there is no need for you to do it. You are doing just fine.
