Is seller negative feedback a deal-breaker ?


Just wondering how much influence negative feedback has with sellers and buyers out there. How much influence does it have on you?

My short answer is NO. Not merely one or two negatives, IF there is an overwhelming slew of positives surrounding them will usually prevent me from taking advantage of a good deal.

It’s got to be all taken into context. When was the negative issue is one thing. Neutrals too should be considered.

I’ve always felt more on edge buying from someone who has no feedback far more. None. It’s due probably to having dealt now for some time with those who have good feedback that I just feel more confident that way and simply pass on those who have next to none or none in fact… regardless the deal.

I’ve talked with folks without feedback or with very little who say they are this professional or that, had the same job or home for years on end. None of that tells me they know how to pack and ship a thing. Or value it appropriately. Or if some issue arises wether or not they’ll stand by me later on. Feedback gives a lot more indication as to those sort of more important things.

Like experience for example!

My luck has been such that those with little or no feedback produce more hassles, generally speaking.

…and let’s face it too… someone who has really substantial eg. Numerous dealings is very likely going to have one or two of those people who simply can never be satisfied or become remorseful afterwards. Consequently, they feel taken advantage of and post negatively.

Feedback too doesn’t tell anyone much about a person either, apart from their past experiences were done satisfactiorily. People do change for varying reasons so I prefer too to get to speak with them if the amounts are substantial as well… not just by email.

that too can account for nothing in the end, but it helps me with my decision making..
