You remember all those comments about feedback reminders?

Just a number of us are ticked off....

Lol - yup.

I just went and removed them again.

I assumed, because I had received a reminder, that I should have them ticked. I knew they werent ticked before.

Now that I have received a reminder, I guess it isnt gonna make much difference if they ticked or not now

Opting out just stops the automatic emails being sent by eBid. Your buyer/seller can still initiate a feedback request themselves.

There are a heck of a lot of places that one can buy things. Small things can be deeply irritating, and it doesn't take much to make one move on. That's not "petty" in my book, it's just human. A few small things added together can take on a weight that just means people go elsewhere. It's a fiercely competitive retail world out there - to beat the competition and become first choice one has to get as much as possible right. Dismissing anything that works to our disadvantage as "petty" doesn't appeal to me. The devil's in the detail, remember.

You're absolutely right. I boycott quite a few companies because of bad treatment, there is always another place happy to take my money. Every member of my family had stopped buying at Circuit City and Comp USA; they're both out of business now, so obviously we weren't the only ones. Best Buy and Radio Shack are still in business; both of them have wonderful customer service.

The same is true here. We have to avoid doing anything that unnecessarily annoys buyers.
