I would like to sell but I need positive feedback to be eligible. How do I go
about getting positive feedback? I have already made a few orders and have given
positive feedback to them all but have not yet received any positive feedback.
So what do I do?

Thanks

Some sellers leave feedback in bulk, some once an order is marked as shipped,
some once an order is marked as completed, some once the order is paid, etc.
What might work best is to reach out to the seller and request if they leave
positive feedback so you can start the registration process to open a store and
most likely at least 1 will

Maybe you could check out the people who left me feedback and buy from them.
They left feedback pretty quickly.

Not sure why you use the plural words "a few" and "to them all"
but we see that you only left one positive feedback so far:
https://www.bricklink.com/feedback.asp?p=BearBriks

Where are the other positive feedbacks?

  but have not yet received any positive feedback.
So what do I do?

The seller to whom you left the positive feedbacks has left many feedbacks to
all his buyers but not to you. Either you did not mark the order "complete"
or he forgot, or you left too many messages and he got annoyed by that....
If you have not messaged him or only messaged him once, maybe send a second message
and mention you left a positive feedback you would need to receive one.(I myself
leave feedback once in a while in bulk but if a buyer message me and mentions
he needs the positive feedback, I do it quickly.)

If that didn't work, you need to submit another order from a seller who leaves
feedback.

Best of luck
  
Thanks

Some sellers don't leave feedback until they receive feedback. Some sellers
don't leave feedback until the buyer marks the order as complete. Some sellers
don't leave feedback at all. Some sellers leave feedback after the buyer
has paid.

Almost all the sellers I have purchased from have left feedback for me and I
leave feedback for all of my buyers after I pack their order. On a couple of
the sellers I purchased from, I think they left feedback on a certain day of
the month for all of the people that purchased from them.

Either ask the seller or look for a seller that has something in their terms
about leaving feedback on every order. Good luck!

Long time buyer here. Some sellers are better than others regarding feedback.
In most cases I just file the order and when they get around to leaving it then
it just shows up. There is no requirement for either the buyer or seller to leave
feedback. You just have to be patient. I wouldn't pester the seller to leave
feedback. The same goes for a buyer marking an order as received or completed.
You don't have to do any of that if you don't wish to.

I believe the member understands the process, Jennifer

"I have already made a few orders and have given positive feedback to
them all but have not yet received any positive feedback. So what do I do?"


Maybe with your experience of BL transacting, you've more pertinent advise?

Given the circumstance presented by the OP, I would reach out to some of the
vendors, expressing why the need for reciprocal feedback.

But they also only left ONE feedback TWO YEARS ago.  So, either they have two
accounts or something doesn’t add up.

1. Once again, the same pattern: sellers deserve feedback but buyers need to
beg 🙄

2. See above.  Who’ll they message?  That seller from 2 years ago can’t leave
feedback anymore, the order was purged long ago.

"Given the circumstance presented by the OP" Beyond that, feel free
to speculate as you wish.

I've always kept in mind when participating in the forum, that advise publicly
asked and given, is not solely benefiting the one asking nor the one giving,
but others reading that may glean bits of helpful-to-their-needs info, as well

Yeah but it id good for it to be this way. See, us sellers stay up late into
the night begging you buyers to please place orders. Next time when you go to
bed, take a moment and listen real hard and you will hear intertwined in the
background noise of the cosmos, faint cries coming from sellers begging you buyers
to just "please come into my store and place an order, even a small one".
We stay up late at night pleading, begging, crying for just a little sale.

Then, after we have given away all of our self worth, lo and behold we hear a
little dinggggg and look, a SALE!!! We cry in thanks knowing we can now
afford a little more Lego to put in our stock.

After all that heart wrenching sobbing and crying is over we need to somehow
recover at least a little bit of our self worth and the best way to feel better
about our selves is to turn the tables and make you buyers beg, grovel and plead
for us sellers to please just give us our positive feedbacks so that we can feel
good too, thus, giving the power back to us, where it should belongs.

Is it a vicious cycle? Well, yes, but it works, just look how BrickLink has grown
over the years.

Ah, but that’s because you’re in a state of mind where there’s always one above
the other, and if you’re not above, you’re below.  So you can only think of relations
in those terms, “am I above or below here?”

We are equals!
(No, none more equal than others!  Oink-oink!)

Not sure there’s a causation link here, maybe not even correlation

Yeah, it's harmless bickering. This forum is very friendly [1] and little
disagreements are harmless.

Oh, if you are still looking for a seller to buy from that WILL give you feedback,
you can buy from me. I guarantee that ALL buyers that send proper payment will
get positive FB from me. I write FB usually a couple times a month, but I did
go several months once time without doing it. And if I know you are in a hurry
for your first FB, I might be a bit faster.

You can even buy something (from me) and then immediately try to re-sell it,
making a small profit on the whole thing

[1] As long as Fosterbengoshi is not around. He's a big bully and a blowhard
and has caused massive flamewars over the years. Things go pretty smoothly when
he ain't around stirring up trouble.
