What gives?

[Zadoc]

I've never had this happen to me before. I have nine people who haven't left me any feedback after I shipped their item, and it's been four weeks!

So? Feedback is not compulsory. It happens all the time and it's not something worth losing sleep over. There are a jillion similar threads here where people have the same complaint.

As would I. I know a lot of people leave feedback for a ton of auctions all at the same time. It saves time and you can just copy and paste the same comment.

I'm REALLY bad about leaving feedback for my buyers. I don't put a lot of thought into mine so it just doesn't occur to me to leave it for others. It's just not that important to me. Sometimes I will get an email from a seller who simply asks me to leave pos feedback if I was please with the transaction. The also have asked that if I wasn't satisfied to please let them know so they can work on improving thier service. For me it was always just a case of me just forgetting to leave feedback so I just went ahead and left them some positive feedback. You might work on a short/sweet email to your buyers asking them if everything went ok and if it did would they mind leaving you some positive feedback.

True that, but in my case i give feedback when i recived and tested the product. I then send them a pm saying that i recived the item, that feedback is given and thanks for the trade.

Therefor, i took the time to give the seller/buyer feedback so they should take the time to do the same back. In most cases not reciving feedback is pure lazyness. Eventho it doesnt affect my buying/selling i'd still like to recive feedback, its the principle.

People can be into building automatic habits and they start to think its going to make them more money if they get better feedback then thats when you get people pm'ing you to remind you to give feedback and others find it lucky just as well while certain people say its just not that important to me. its like a dentist of mine once said, "everyone has thier own voodoo." x_x

Laziness is not getting off the couch to get a job when your out of high school and your still freeloading off of your parents. Laziness is not bothering to wipe the sandwich crumbs off of your chest while your laying on the couch watching reruns of The Brady Bunch while your wife works and takes care of the kids. Laziness isn't not leaving feedback. It's simply a matter of priorities. It's not something that matters to everyone in the same way that it matters to you.
