Feedback please

[jscwerve]

So the last three transactions I have done here went perfectly and could not say anything bad about the folks I've met, or the deal that was had. That being said, Why don't people leave feedback? I try to make a point to leave feedback from people and I PM them to let them know that I have done so. Is it really too much trouble to take 30 seconds and say that your deal went as agreed? The feedback forum is the only reputation we have in this virtual area, and I know that I look up feedback before I deal with somebody. looks to me that only about 30% of people leave a good word, or even a bad word for what it's worth.

+1 for jscwerve for asking

I know what you mean, for the number of people who have left me feedback there are three times the amount who haven't. As for the many reasons for not leaving feedback lack of initiative is probably #1. Many browse the site to solely buy or sell and once they have they disappear. Others wish to remain anonymous and don't wish to have a "sale trail" on what they have bought or sold for whatever reasons. Most of the regulars here will leave feedback. Not a whole lot you can do about those who don't.

I can think of at least 12 smooth deals off the top of my head that went smooth w/o getting any feedback from the other party; think it's from the influx of newbs in the market?? A few of em weren't newbs *cough*richkenlevi*cough*

Don't you have enough feedback Graves

I know I am going to catch hell for this:

If the person wont leave you feedback after a little nudge,

Hey, I know you are probably busy or forgot but could you leave feedback for me at: ____LINKY______

Perhaps you can go back and edit your feedback for them to include this little nugget of information.

After requesting this person leave a feedback for the sale I waited another week and feedback was never added.

I know sometimes we all get busy, little things get overlooked.
Life gets a little busy with Diapers, Yuky nose, Cheerios, Daddy I want apple, Doctors appointments, interviews, family appointments, Wifey's Honey-do list... ARRGHH!

Some people just don't leave feedback, even when they say they will (it's happened to me before). I usually tell the person I'm making a deal with, whether I'm buying or selling, that I'll leave them feedback and the usual response is "I will too". Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't.

Do people generally do feedback for buyers or only sellers? Posted feedback for all my transactions and assumed I got nothing back due to being the buyer.

Every transaction buyer or seller should have some sort of feedback. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but we are doing private party sales of Firearms and Firearm accessories etc. Knowing rather or not, the person you are getting ready to sell your $2,000 AR to, is worthy or not, is kind of a big deal IMO. There have been a few transactions i've made, where I left feedback and none was left for me, they were noobs.

Feedback should be left for both buyer and seller.
I think it is only polite and fair to do so.
