    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How do you leave feedback for someone? Trader Rating not working

I Think Everyone Should Be Allowed To Leave Feedback. Alot More Animals Would Be Sold If Everyone Had The Feedback To Read About A Seller. Look How Well
E-Bay Works.

Ebay also charges listing fees, Rich does not. If that were the case, I would have paid Rich about (10%) 450.00 last year, instead of my measly 25.00. Thanks, but I'm good.

Yeah, ok. Ebay sellers and buyers don't get half of the feedback that they should because people don't leave feedback. We sell on ebay quite a bit and out of 100 transactions we get feedback from buyers about 1/4 of the time (if that.) Also when we purchase things off of ebay we get feedback for purchases about 1/2 the time. It's not mandatory for people to leave feedback on ebay.

People selling animals on here has nothing to do with feedback, though it is nice to see. Feedback can be left on the BOI and that doesn't cost a dime. So if you want to "READ" about a seller, then that's the place to go. But having the ability to "leave feedback" can be done without having to have the ability to leave trader ratings. They can be tied to one another, but don't have to be.
 
My Bad, Sorry Everyone. Looks Like Im Dead Wrong!
I Always Leave Feedback On Ebay, So I Guess I Figured So Does
Everyone Else. I Shouldnt Assume. And It Is True, Sellers Do Have To Pay
To Post There. So How Do I Withdraw My Post?
 
Sellers do not have to pay to post here. The classifieds are free. However, you must pay the minimum contributor annual fee (I think it's $10 or $15, can't remember) in order to leave feedback that shows under the user's "trader rating", or to edit your posts.

You could always see if the Board of Inquiry has an existing thread on a seller that you could leave feedback in. If not, you can create a new thread on that seller. Use the search option in the upper right corner of the Board of Inquiry page to search for your seller. Leaving feedback in the Board of Inquiry is free and I've had buyers do that for me before instead of giving me a trader rating.

Why would you want to withdraw your post? Obviously it spurred a different mindset and opinion, which is what the forum is based on.

Opinion: Take someone's opinion with a grain of salt and if you don't like it, then don't like it. Don't act like a child and then say that you want your opinion/post removed because someone disagreed with you.
