On this subject what is ebay protocol for cheques. I wait 7 business days from depositing a cheque before I will send goods. I get moaned at by buyers for this despite saying goods will be send when funds are cleared. |
No more confused than me. When sellers leave me feedback they always get feedback from me. My point is that the transaction consists of 3 basic stages, bidding, paying for goods and receiving goods. Buyer wins the bidding, e-mailed confirmation of this. Next pays for it, feedback from seller is like a shop assistant saying thank for buying from us. Lastly receives goods then leaves feedback as a thank you.
Just seems to be good manners to me, I know that there are both buyers and sellers who just wait for the other to act first, but would sellers ship goods before receiving payment? - of course not, so why do so many object to leaving feed back upon receiving payment? The argument about buyers being free to leave negative feedback can be applied to sellers once a buyer has left positive feedback.
There just doesn't seem to be any mutual trust. Pity.
