eBay........what a fun site!

Everyone has their own opinions, so here is mine.....I no longer leave feedback once an item sells.....I state in my auction rules and on my invoice, something in the lines of "please leave feedback so I know that the pkg was received" and "I will leave feedback for you too" and "if any questions or concerns about your item, please contact me prior to leaving feedback". Does that sound harsh, just crazy or what?

Knock on wood, I have never (thankfully) had a problem with any of my auctions (my selling auctions)......I just got tired of going through the process of leaving feedback for everyone and then not getting feedback in return.....hey, I want my feedback score to get greater too!!!

About 4 years ago, I bought some books for my daughter that took 2 months to receive. I had emailed and emailed the seller, no response.....talked with eBay on what to do......waited (like they recommended) and talked to them again and filed a dispute and nothing.......finally left negative feedback and then, like 3 days later, I got the package. Then, I finally heard from the seller and they said that they had emailed numerous times (I never got and I had of course saved them all - I always do when I buy/sell online - hey, that comes in handy later), but she didn't leave negative for me, she left neutral because of all the records I had and the dispute being filed so long ago. Why it took it so long, I do not know........and it wasn't even shipped Media Mail....I think they had just forgotten or something - they said they were at a funeral........for 2 months??? Hummmmm............

Anyway, I think 95% isn't bad......I have seen some lower, but if you are pretty new to eBay, I would just start over too! Definitely keep your PayPal account up and running.......you will need it for your next new eBay account, plus, if you need it for buying other stuff online.

Good luck.......eBay.......what a site!
