eBay feedback

Re: eBay feedback

Interesting discussion here. I can tell you that I've been a member of eBay for 10 years and have left feedback on every item I've bought and almost every item I've sold. It just seems like the polite thing to do. I've been lucky, though. I've only been screwed over once or twice and never over anything major, and it's worked out for the most part in the end. But from what I have learned from all of you is that I would NEVER list anything of substantial value on eBay. It's not worth any number of nightmare scenarios that have happened to GUU members.

However, I HATE having to list on that site anymore. It is a necessary evil because it's the best way for me to sell certain items, like replica jerseys, bobbleheads, other SGAs, and the like, but I really hate how they are screwing over sellers with their latest policies. I wish more eBay buyers were also sellers so that they'd understand why sellers like myself (who are just individuals, not "stores" or businesses) do things the way they do. If I wanted to give stuff away for free, I'd donate it to Goodwill and be done with it.

Re: eBay feedback

Todd,

As a member with 2 handles (with one I was being stalked and had to abandon it), over 13 years with 1249 and 1007 feedback counts respectively, let me just shortcut the whole 13 years for you and boil it down to these few words of advice:

Don't worry about it.

I always leave poaitive feedback unless I got screwed somehow. I don't give a hoot if I get feedback in return or not. Maybe it used to matter, I really don't remember, but I can say with all honesty I don't pay any mind to it. Conduct yourself honorably on eBay, deal with others who have a good track record, don't be overly nit-picky and you will see it all take care of itself.

Re: eBay feedback

Hey eisenreich8, great post. That is what o usually try and do, but I guess I just hadn't had my diet pepsi this morning and it rubbed me the wrong way. These have all been great posts and I have more insight than before I posted. I still believe in the old way and will continue to leave feedback as soon as someone pays me in a timely manner. I do understand why some sellers would not though. I do apologize for the "hostage" comment though.
