Didn't really know whether to put this in here or Internet... too late now anyway.
Why is it some people don't leave feedback? I don't mean the people that take a while, I mean the people that just don't do it. Some of us would like to increase our reputation on eBay, and when you complete a transaction and the other person doesn't leave feedback, it's very annoying. Especially when you give feedback to them.
I know it's a stupid little thing to get worked up about, but I just think some people could show a little respect. The reason I have posted this is because we sold something to a person called millypoppy (so be careful!), and when checking there feedback I found that they haven't given any feedback to ANY of the people that they have dealt with. If there were more people like this, eBay would be a complete failure.
If you're on here, millypoppy (and nobody change their name or tagline, I know you people too well), then I thought I'd inform you that I'm after you...

It annoys me too. I'd have almost double the feedback rating otherwise.
I don't trust eBay. Too many frauds :(
Feedback means little to nothing on that site anymore.
One guy gave me a bad feedback because I was a week or so late sending his 20 odd comics he only had to pay £2 for. Unlike the other 22 users I was dealing with I guess he didn't think that my dad dying of cancer was enough of a reason to justify him getting his comics late despite many apologetic emails sent to keep everyone informed.
The feedback system really is flawed...the amount of people who leave a positive just because they don't want to run the risk of being left a neutral or negative just throws off what is an otherwise well worked site.
I bought Sword of Mana (GBA) on there not too long ago, the guy charged me £2 postage and packing - and it arrived in a 2nd hand jiffy bag (good for the environment, but I certainly didn't pay for it) with a 60p stamp on the front, the box was crushed and he certainly took his time about it...
...I left a neutral, explaining this and he said simply in reply "I thought £2 postage was fair". It amazes me how many people (not in this guy's gase but in some) say,
"OH, well I need to pay for my bus fare to get to the Post Office, that's why it was more..."
That's just crap, trekking down to the P.O. is all part of it, why should I fund the little adventure? Especially with big sellers, do they get a taxi down there or something?
Most annoyed with it lately anyway.

Ive always thought highly of ebay until i was DEFRAUDED.
Their protection system is really quite flawed, and having to pay eBay £15 to recover your money is gayness in itself.

I do find most sellers who overcharge on the postage no matter how small will refund any difference on postage if they had to pay less (even 3p which on paypal is stupid to send since they charge more for sending it)
On another note, here's an article in todays son I noticed
Boy in £45k eBay rip-off
A TEENAGER conned £45,000 by selling non-existent items on eBay — and used the cash for a five-star trip to New York.
The 17-year-old then had the cheek to email his victims and taunt them about how he blew their money.
The fraudster, who cannot be named for legal reasons, duped more than 100 eBay customers.
He sold non-existent items ranging from mobile phones to computer game consoles. One victim lost £2,500.
The teenager spent most of the cash on a weekend in New York with mates. They stayed in a five-star hotel overlooking Times Square.
He could not drive so he hired limos to chauffeur them around. They even took a helicopter flight. The lad spent the rest of the £45,000 on designer clothes and gadgets.
Police were alerted by eBay customers. When they raided the youngster’s home they found top-of-the-range computer equipment, music systems and flat-screen TVs.
Prosecutor Paul Moore said: “He was not content with taking people’s money, he taunted them by emailing them details of how he’d spent it.”
The boy, from Pontypool, Gwent, admitted 21 charges of fraud.
Magistrates adjourned the case for sentencing at Newport Crown Court.
An eBay spokesman said: “We are one of the safest environments in which to trade.”

Shame really, because it's this which CAN make it a successful site - good feedback is proof from other customers that someone is not a fraud. Without feedback, I know I wouldn't use it.
