Ok guys, I have been using e bay for about 5 years now, both as a buyer and a seller, I have seen e bay change for the worse, and also for...well,,, the worse! Since the no negatives for buyers was taken off more and more people are almost holding me to ransom to leave feedback straight away, as soon as they have paid, I dont have much time as it is, due to working shift based work, but I got this e mail the other day off a buyer:
Dear alwlangford,
are you intending to leave feedback?
ah
As I am English and overly polite I found this quie abrupt, as they had only left me feedback the day before, and it was over Christmas so I have been distracted with more important things than feedback, so i left it 2 days, and then got a second message:
Dear alwlangford,
2nd request. are you intending to leave me feedback. i paid first, promptly, and therefore am expecting positive feedback.
I again found this quite rude, so replied:
I am going to leave feedback, but thought, why should I rush, as I found your first request very rude and abrupt, there was no please or thankyou on the message and it seemed almost like you were ordering me to leave feedbback for you. Which I was going to do, but I do not always have time to do it as soon as you leave it for me.
And finally got this reply from him:
Dear alwlangford,
my communication with you wasnt rude. yours to me was. I will never leave feedback for a seller in future until I have received it. you wouldnt have dared to write your last message if I had yet to leave feedback. In future try leaving the buyer feedback promptly as they have had to conclude their part of the deal before any goods are received and sending rude childish messages like you last to me is very unprofessional
Am I the bad guy, or is it him, please don't crucify me if it is me in the wrong, just my opinion on this guy.
