I've done the whole email thing several times, but people don't care. Even if you email all of your buyers, you will see that around 5%-10% will actually leave you feedback. I've actually emailed buyers before offering to give them $10 for a positive feedback. Yes, Amazon's system basically allows you to bribe buyers now. Even for $10 I couldn't buy much feedback. When I start a new stealth account, I always list something cheap, like a book. Then I use an extra ppcc to buy the book from my stealth account and give it feedback. So, as soon as the initial 14 day hold is up I already have 1 positive feedback and I'm ready to start selling. It's not much, but it's a start. And, having 1 positive feedback right away will do wonders to keep you from going into near-immediate 30 day review status.
