Does it drive you mad when you buy something from eBay and even before you receive the item the seller starts emailing 'reminders' to leave feedback?  I ordered some HD cables off an eBay store , they haven't arrived yet but they keep emailing me begging for feedback..I almost feel inclined to leave negative just for the irritation...

I won't buy off them again even if they are solid gold now!!

Yeah, that is really annoying. It's automated, isn't it? I don't like the automated feedback stuff where you leave feedback and once you do that person magically and instantly leaves feedback for you. The comments are stock comments - so impersonal. Some of the power sellers use this I guess. I'm sure it's part of a sellers software program. But yet their automated software perstes us who have to manually leave feedback which takes time. Grr!

I just plain DON'T leave feedback if someone bugs me for it!

:crackup:  Bren you make me laugh...CUTE...as cute as a bulldog chewing a wasp!!! It doesn't take much to wind me up I guess!!

I think it must be automated Daphne....I hate the way they do this though...it's a bit like Marks and Spencer not letting you out of the store till you've said 'thank you' nicely..!!

Ooooh, that drives me mad too!!! Maybe they want us to leave feedback BEFORE we get our stuff

My mean and nasty streak doesn't work then huh? I better think of another strategy...I might try being nice for a change..that might scare people more... :crackup:
I should try being vile to Steve then , if I am cuter when snappy...he may find it more attractive!!! LOL

I think the HD leads guy just got the message anyway....He emailed to apologise...Daft tactics really..I don't think it's how you get good feedback!!
