How Long Before Getting HEAT Feedback

Is there anything listed in the rules saying when HEAT should be given after someone receives a product the bought off someone?

I've waited a month from one member and he still hasn't posted any.

I figure waiting this long is getting a bit ridiculous, and it would be nice if had some enforcement of this, because I constantly find myself chasing down people all the time asking them to send it.

You may wish to see if a gentle reminder from a Moderator will get things moving along

Unfortunately leaving heatware evals isn't required, it's more of a courtesy. Usually dropping them a reminder or two will get the ball rolling but if they don't comply, it's not something that can be enforced IMHO.

Did it go alright otherwise? If so, leave him a positive and request feedback.

It's polite and people should do it (especially after you remind them) but I dont in any way think it's an AT issue. Those people wont get heat themselves and will have more trouble trading (e.g. they'll float down while better traders float up)...

Maybe they arent happy and leaving nothing is better than the negative or neutral they may have been considering~! :confused:

Many people choose not to leave a neutral or negative eval at all for fear of a retaliatory one.

Sometimes people also just forget and need a reminder!
