I'm 100% with you on this one Neil.

 

I used to think that, but the transaction isn't done until it's done. Let's say you pay and he sends you your anal beads. Then you claim he never sent them and harass him. Then his positive feedback isn't warranted. It ain't over till it's over.

 

Neil uses anal beads?

Regarding the positive feedbacks, sellers do that to prevent sore buyers or remorseful buyers from leaving negative feedbacks without having the same negative returned. It's just a way to hold the ball in their court. Imo, buyers are supposed to pay promptly and if they're satisfied overall, they should leave the first positive feedback. Sellers can then return the favor.

There are A LOT of fake crap on Ebay, from watches to shirts to everything else. Some people buy expensive Rolex and other watches on there without having professional certification first.

 

I sold some compact flash/secure digital cards a while back on ebay and messed up on someones order once...he left a negative feedback.I corrected it by sending him the correct item, also i let him keep the original item i sent him.he did not follow up with a positve feedback.

whats up with that.

like others have stated...it's not over til it's over.I should have left a stupid feedback on him, but i'm not like that.

 

My pet peeve currently is co-workers who do not courtesy flush. When you drop a duece, no need to let it ferment and stew and let the malodorous fumes fill the bathroom. Plop, drop and flush. Its that simple.

 

The sellers part of the transaction is done the moment I pay for the item and it's shipped. What I say to him in his feedback should have nothing to do with what he leaves me on mine.

Ball in their court? More like holding feedback hostage until the buyer decides to be nice. I'm giving negative feedback to everybody from now on just because some of you people are ****ing retarded.

 

Dude, you are ate up. I agree with others. There is really no need for any feedback at all unless there is either something amiss or something extraordinarily good. If anything, feedback on the seller is useful to others. Feedback for the buyer is secondary and really only necessary if the buyer is an a-hole or dishonest.

Of course, my ebay experiences are typically "buy it now" fixed price purchases so they are pretty straight forward. I look at the guy's feedback, I typically try to talk to the guy to asess whether he is legit, and then I click the button and use paypal.

GPMike:
Courtesy flushes are great except that at our office, the toilets backsplash like a mother on flushing so courtesy flushes are out!

 

Its an excuse I suppose, but really doesn't hold much water with me (forgive the pun.) I myself practice courtesy flushes. I get in the down hill ski position and flush...and I wait for the toilet water rapids to subside then I sit down again for another minute or two before wiping. This is a good leg exercise by the way.

 

I'm talking major backsplash from our toilets. Like splashes over the seat. I guess if you get enough air over the seat it would work ok.

 

whoa...time to get a plumber in there. Sounds like you are taking a crap over 'Ol Faithful geyser or something.
