No feedback from a buyer

I have contacted on here few weeks back and I was kindly answered. However, I am still upset because I sold my item which was a Reborn doll complete with wrapped up and ribboned parcels for the buyer’s daughter to unwrap! 
Communication  was good leading upto the expected  delivery. 
I have messaged her several times for her to leave me feedback but she hasn’t! 
I was told on here that it isn’t compulsory for buyers to leave feedback but why is it compulsory for sellers to leave feedback on buyers?? 

Thanks

Re: No feedback from a buyer

It's not compulsory for sellers or buyers to leave feedback

Many sellers will only leave feedback for a buyer once the buyer leaves feedback as until they do you don't know if they are totally happy or if there is a problem

I almost always leave feedback for buyers and have left over 6300.  I have received nearly 3000 feedback so, more than half of the members I have been in a transaction with have not left me feedback.

Expect that at least half of your buyers won't leave feedback, then you won't be disappointed.  And, after all, you are selling unwanted items, not collecting feedback.

Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to message your buyer and ask for feedback - judging from the comments in this forum, buyers can see this as harrassment.

Re: No feedback from a buyer

As said, it is never a good idea to ask for feedback, it does risk getting the sort of feedback you do not want, or buyer suddenly remembering something they were not happy with and opening a return case.

 

Did you leave feedback for buyer, if so why. Once buyer has feedback they have no incentive to leave feedback, and can still turn into the buyer from hell, but you cannot change the feedback you left.

 

No feedback is better than negative, or neutral.
