Nope…sorry folks…changed my mind…a woman’s prerogative don’t ya know…
Ok….it has been suggested that we ‘let this one lie’…why?
It is a simple request and it has a simple answer…make ‘feedback required’ an option. As stated in my opening letter, it would serve us all better if this was a service that you could ‘opt into’ instead of leaving it to chance that your buyer, be it a first time buyer or a regular, has ticked all the right boxes and is not going to be hassled (my opinion only ;-) into leaving good, bad or indifferent feedback.
Other people have made the same suggestion so it seems a popular compromise.
As was also pointed out, if you have regular buyers who buy more than one item at a time and maybe delay paying for items till the end/beginning of the month, it is a little annoying, to say the least, to then have to apologise for the buyer receiving this ‘request’ before they have even received their items.
It has been said that most people would not have a problem being asked for feedback via email but then there are cases recorded here where that is clearly not true. Personally, it is of little importance to me whether the other recipient minds or not…I do! I mind that my name is on those emails requesting feedback.
May I respectfully request that if this is to stay…then can you at least not use my name on your auto emails…
Thanks again for your time.
