craftgrrl | A question about Etsy...

Hi Grrls. :)

I have a question for those of you who sell your wares on Etsy... How's your ratio of purchases (from your shop) to feedback? Do you find that people don't seem to take the time to leave you feedback? Have you found any methods to persuade them to do so? I've just now reached the 10 sales mark in my shop, after it having been open since September of 2008. 10 sales, but only 5 feedback. 100% positive, all five reviews, but still... I was just wondering your thoughts on this. I always include a little note of thanks with every item I mail out. The last one I sent, I added a P.S. with a reminder about leaving feedback, but the buyer has not done so. Well, anyway... Just wanted to know what you thought, or what your experiences are. Thanks for your feedback... ha ha haaa... ;)
