Hello, In my honest opinion, your letter is a bit wordy and goes well past the fundamentals that a new user would need to be exposed to. Some users may appreciate the information, some users may wonder why they need to read a wall of text to just order some LEGO. Also, it's BrickLink, not Bricklink. Thanks, ~Jen In Feedback, Ziegelmeister writes:    As we all know, getting buyers to reply to messages and/or leave feedback can be brutal. I don't know if it's just me but my feedback response rate fell off a cliff around early February. 83 orders and just 35 feedbacks which drops well below the 60% rate most of us have. I've had a few buyers with very high feedback numbers but they have left ___ZERO___ for other users. Those people are to far gone, so I decided to try to tackle the problem with the new users. I tend to get a lot of buyers with very low scores, so when I recently had a few zero feedback users place orders, I decided to try something proactive and drafted up this letter which was included in their package. Of the two I sent it to so far, both followed the instructions. One even went back and added feedback for other orders they placed. I sent my third one out today which is what prompted me to go double check on the other two users. And I know, I know, "don't worry about your feedback number more than your feedback rating", but there are people out who see that number first and assume that with experience comes better service and fewer hassles. It's also just a few extra keystrokes of extra work to help improve the community for everyone IMO.
