Luring into Free Gifts for Leaving good feedback

[simmash]

Please beware of sellers promising of free gifts if you give a posive feedback even befoe you have received the product. Here a mail from one supplier (rich.deal) and there was no free gift however the respose was fine.

-------------------------------------------------------
Dear Sir / madam,

I have received the payment from you and will be dispatching the product.
Please note that if you give us positive ratings and good feedback today itself, then I will send you one free gift.
So please go ahead and leave a good feedback so that I can send the free gift along with the item itself.

Thanks

These type of sellers makes other good seller reputation and the smooth transactions will decrease.

A seller can only ask for a good feedback only when the product has been delivered and in satisfactory condition. ---------------

New Buyers Are Made A Scapegoat By some sellers inflating their feedback artificially ....

Community champions like
" touch_and_shine " have also started indulging in such practices .... the feedback has swollen in the last month and how is a new buyer or user to know that the feedback is collected by selling a jpeg image at less than 5.00 and then exchanging feedback ...
new buyers will never know as the items are kept PRIVATE ...

Selling of Wall Papers & Gmail invite at Rs.1 and also stating that you need not pay shows that its a sheer practice of trading feedback.

Sellers are openly stating

......"Keep your counter ticking"
......" Increase your Rating"
....."Push your score"

An aggressive & Sincere New Seller on an average needs 3 months to gather 100 positive feedbacks.
But by selling wall papers & Gmail invite it just takes 20 days to gather 100 positive feedbacks.

No actions would be taken and many sincere sellers are disillusioned and seriously thinking of indulging into similar practices so that they do not loose their edge over such sellers .... in the end the buyers are taken for a ride .....

a disturbing trend defintely ! and a mockery is being made out of the feedback system if somebody offers a free gift just to get rated positive ahead of the actual despatch ! http://www.stores.ebay.in/hi2k-georgettes

Hi,
For me, such proposals are very unethical. Hope the seller will refrain from putting such proposal in future. Best Regards 😄

Forget About the gift and you won't get trapped
Though it is unethical to ask for positive feedback bedore sending the product
Its not mandatory for the buyer to provide feedback as asked by the seller
