99% Of INDIAN Buyers Do Not Know The Value Of "FEEDBACK"

[uniquecreations2012]

This is what all about our eBay.in Site.

It is strange when compared to other ebay sites and we see our buyers are not much educated or are less interested (LAZY) would be the perfect word in leaving feedback to sellers.

I believe the above mentioned are the only reasons why most of the sellers are facing problem on eBay.in

The reason why i have opened this thread , is because i have experienced their lack of knowledge and laziness since last week.

As I am not getting feedbacks from my buyers of what i have had expected , I decided to ring all my buyers to request (PLEADING) them to please please leave the feedback for what they have purchased .

To be accurate, i have spent couple of hundreds since last week and i have called over 200 buyers and requested them to leave feedback for their purchase.
But to my vain, i got only 20 feedback's out of 250 buyers which i contacted them personally.

The weird thing i have noticed when i call them is, almost all buyers do not know the value of feedback and how it works. but strangely buyers who do not like the product , seller gets' an instant NEGATIVE FEEDBACK and i do not understand why buyers do not leave POSITIVE FEEDBACK when they liked product??

Anyway, i have also faced some abusing replies on the phone when i requested them to leave a feedback of the product they have purchased. (FOR GODS' SAKE IT NOT EVEN TAKE COUPLE OF SECONDS TO LEAVE A FEEDBACK AND I HAVE ASKED THEM TO LEAVE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE PURCHASED)

I ASK EBAY.IN , IF FEEDBACK IS SO MUCH IMPORTANT FOR SELLERS , WHY DON'T YOU EDUCATED ALL BUYERS THE IMPORTANCE OF FEEDBACK( I AM NOT ASKING TO PERSONALLY CALL THEM AND TEACH THEM).
BUT AT-LEAST AT-LEAST , AN AUTOMATIC REPLY TO THE BUYER STATING THE IMPORTANCE OF FEEDBACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PURCHASE WOULD HELP.
YOU SHOULD HIGHLIGHT FEEDBACK IMPORTANCE ON ALL EBAY PAGES - IN THIS WAY BUYERS CAN UNDERSTAND OF HOW EBAY ACTUALLY WORKS , BUT INSTEAD YOU ADVERTISE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND NEGLECT THE MAJOR ISSUE WHICH IS THE BACK BONE FOR EBAY.

I AM WRITING HERE NOT BECAUSE OF EBAY STAFF WILL SEE THIS AND RESPOND , INSTEAD I AM WRITING HERE SO THAT, BUYERS WHO BROWSE THIS THREAD MIGHT AT-LEAST KNOW WHAT SELLERS LIKE ME ARE DEPENDING ON.

the second thread opened by mistake. i had a problem posting first thread so i clicked twice and it ended up opening two threads instead of one. 😞
really i didn't mean to spam this discussion board, but there was a server problem.

Yes you are right uniquecreations.
I findn 99% of foreign buyers leaving feedback as soonas they receive the item but when it comes to Indian buyers its less than 30% even.
