Online feedback forms bring a new feeling to buying and selling

The phone beeps. I’m excited anyway because there’s a notification. There was a time that notification meant a card in the post from the ESB saying the power would be off. Now notifications are little tabs of uppers, or rather Updates, that gets some of us through the day.

I’m extra excited because this notification is from a second-hand ‘stuff’ website. We’ve just sold something and I was waiting for feedback from the buyer.

“‘lemonysnicket’ left feedback for you” says the update. Joy of joys — the feedback is POSITIVE.
