Sellers Feed Back: A Gripe!

I forgot to ask is there a difference with the ebay there? For the US one to get the top rated discounts or whatever they'll calling it now you have to put tracking into the system within a day for something like 95 percent of sales or more. I just don't get why a seller wouldn't put that in since it's usually their only means of protection during the process.

heres the link to the one I am waiting on:

Kinda lame following my own post.....anyway....here's one for ya.

Yesterday received a used camera from an ebay seller. Am going to use it for coin photos. The box was left outside, and the second I picked it up I felt the camera shift. Then gave the box a little shake, and felt the camera racking back and forth in the box. No way, yes way, opened the box and there was the camera and a little piece of bubble wrap separate from the camera. Nice! No effort made to protect the camera. Hope it works, haven't tested it thoroughly yet. No feedback left for me as buyer yet. Assuming it works, what kind of feedback should I leave for seller. Positive, with note about poor packaging? Even the shipping label was a joke. Roughly torn off and poorly taped on the box. These people are really out there. As long as I don't ask myself "why?" I keep sane. Ed

didn't mean to hijack the thread....will listen from here on.

Lazy packaging needs to be identified. I purchased a book once....there were hige p&H charges but I didn't mind..until the package arrived! The seller had just dumbed the book into an envelope that was too large for it and posted it off. I messaged the seller...no reply...I then left neutral feedback and pointed out the packaging was inadequate to the task. I recall the seller then posted in reply I hadn't had the decency to contact him first( this was in the days Sellers could comment of feedback) he then asked me to withdraw my feedback.....I recall being quite bemused that the guy could openly lie and then thought I would be open to removing my feed back......ON the medal purchase....Six days after buying the seller has actually noted the medal has been posted... and has left feedback "Terrific Transaction! Prompt Payment! Nice Communication! A+++" So credit where credit is due.....but it was a very long wait for any notification.

When I sell, I notify the buyer when the item ships. I don't leave feedback until tracking shows it arrived. I do this for only one reason. As a passive reminder to the buyer to also leave feedback. Doesn't always work. I usually go through my sales every other week and send a message to any buyer who hasn't left feedback.
