I had one recently - he was getting plenty of feedback, but just simply refused to leave any.

In future, I'll make it clear to any seller that I will not provide feedback until feedback is received. The problem is worst with sellers who tend to have large, active accounts. I'm sure they appreciate their high, positive rating - just wish they'd realise we all do.

That one is over-subscribed

I agree too. People who dont leave feedback should be forced to leave it before they can continue Ebaying. It helps everyone in the long run and only takes a few minutes to complete.

my only gripe with feedback is that sellers wait until you have feedbacked them before they feedback you.

whereas, the buyer pays so the seller should feedback if it was an easy transaction, whereas buyers can complain if there is something bad in the sale, e.g. very long delivery times/not what was on sale/misrepresentation of item/ hard to deal with/not copmpleting what was on sale.

so this protects sellers more than buyers

I think it is a sellers market ebay not a buyers market.

I always check the person - if they receive loads of feedback and hardly leave any for anyone then I dont leave them feedback until I get mine.

I agree, it also makes people not give neg feedback incase the seller retaliates (sp?),

I couldn`t agree more. I`ve noticed this happening more and more recently. My last three purchases (all buy now), i havent had any feedback until i left some. If anyone buys from me, and pays with paypal fast, i leave positive feedback asap.
Maybe ebay needs to look into this a bit.

I emailed their 'Community Value' people about this today.

Need a few more people to raise this issue with them.

Use the 'email us' link on the Community Values page.

some of these large volume sellers leave feedback through an automated system which leaves theirs after you feedback to them - obviously it will detect if positive - so a way round getting a neg feedback from a seller as revenge for negging them would be to leave positive - but put in the text that the transaction was crap with caps lock on!

a seller should feedback as soon as they get your money safely - ie when their part of the transaction is complete.

I agree 100% with all that has been said in this thread.

I have recently sold 6 items on ebay and, in each case, was paid virtually straight away by paypal. In these circumstances, I considered that the buyers had done all I, as a seller, could expect and left immediate feedback for them.

However as a buyer on 19th January I made immediate settlement and am still waiting for feedback, in spite of having left positive feedback for the seller within hours of receiving the goods. I have also made 2 polite requests to this seller asking for feedback but to no avail.

The feedback system is definitely in need of revision and I shall also be airing my views via the community values.

That matches my most recent experience to a T.

If you want to -ve feedback you do it on day 30 just before the feedback time limit expires.

I agree, the sellers seem to be the main problem, when I pay quickly I expect to get feedback before the goods even arrive. If sellers are doing their bit and selling good products what have they to fear?

I'll try that link to community values.
