Buyer feedback

[katanawales]

Why do eBay email me asking me to leave feedback, as a buyer, when the seller isn't leaving feedback. In each case, payment has been made within 5 minutes of an auction ending (actually, less than 2 minutes).
Buyer feedback should be automated in the same way as free postage feedback is automated for sellers. Sellers should be banned from selling if they have comments such as "positive feedback will be left once we have received your feedback". This is just a way to hold honest buyers to ransome and eBay should act in a responsible manner, not ignoring the problem.

Feedback for buyers is pointless as it can only be positive

Many sellers do not consider a transaction ended until the buyer has left feedback & they know the buyer is happy

All too often a seller will leave good feedback straight away only to discover the buyer is the buyer from hell making claims that the item is not as described, or not received even though the seller has proof of delivery.......

Feedback for buyers should actually be abolished entirely & instead replaced by something of value such as showing how many bid retractions have been made, cases open & lost, not received cases opened etc as this would actually serve a purpose.....buyers only being able to receive positive serves no purpose

Remember the feedback you leave for a seller is to assist other buyers rather than the seller.....most sellers will not care if you leave it as in selling terms....no feedback is good feedback
