ebay Feedback policy for buyer and seller - my mini rant

[rwj4]

I've just input this in the 255 chars or thereabouts allowed in the chat box which quelle surprise is unattended and no visible means of contacting ebay.

A) I buy a few knick-knacks now and then and try and leave feedback. Sadly ebay seems intent on making it as heavy and **bleep** a job as possible demanding it seems a mini essay in the text box. Frankly I generally don't have time and want to input just

i) it arrived on time and

ii) positive.

(If it's tending to a negative I always contact seller first; can't recall leaving a negative for years if at all).

Only if it is neutral or negative should some justification be necessary in the text box imo for feedback to be accepted by the system.

B) I'd like to see total cases for buyer/seller where no feedback was left, not just positives, neutrals and negatives.

I may be overlooking something but that's the gist.  Just too much hassle, which in turn will mean: less feedback will be left.

How can that be communicated to ebay?

Just carry on as you have done. You don't have to input 255 Characters. A quick "Thankyou" will do.

you don't 'HAVE' to fill the feedback box, it just allows you to leave up to that amount,

a quick 'it arrived on time' is perfectly acceptable and all that most sellers would expect.

you were quite happy leaving comments before they increased the size of the box, so why don't you just carry on as before?

Sorry if I appear a little cranky but you do have to put *something* into the text box. Example just re-reviewed: Selecting yes for "did it arrive on time" and Positive for "experience" - but the feedback still cannot be posted unless the surplusage of text is added in the box. "Leave Feedback" button is greyed out till you do that. I've been on this platform for 20 years and this sort of pointless surplusage and detail is really beginning to irk. So what I will do if text box input requirement persists is (for Positive experience, which is basically every deal I can remember offhand) I'll add in the txt box: Positive. See! I said it twice so it must be true! 'streuth.

just put good item, or arrived on time you don't have to fill it up
