Seller Silence


On two occasions during the past month I have posted a question to a seller about whether the item still has a manufacturers warranty. One selling an Aurender N20 and the other a JVC NZ700 projector. Neither has responded even though it has been a few weeks.

There should be a way to leave seller feedback before a sale to inform potential buyers of this issue.

You want to be able to leave poor feedback for someone you didn't transact with because they didn't answer your question? This isn't facebook where you engage furiously with people at will. P.S. You don't know that used gear is no longer covered by the OEM warranty and that the warranty only applied to the original owner and only if purchased via an authorized dealer?

I think there should be a way to allow pre-sale comments.

That would also work in reverse then, right, where the potential seller could leave feedback on you? Such as:

"Avoid this tire-kicking seller like the plague. I don't know who this guy is but he popped up out of nowhere and his first question was if there was a guarantee on used merchandise. What a laugh! Don't let him waste your time."

To be clear, as a buyer, I understand your disappointment. It's happened to me here. But I prefer to see a seller's non-response as just a good reason to avoid that seller. So I move on.
