As a buyer on ebay I will leave feedback after the seller first leaves feedback. The way I figure this is that if I purchase something and pay promptly then I've completed my part of the obligation if the seller chooses to provide feedback it should be provided at the time payment is received.

Almost all of the time I will not leave feedback first as a buyer unless the seller gave me a good deal on a counter offer. I will leave feedback to the seller if they leave feedback for me first because I feel they went out of their way to provide me with feedback.

I'm just curious know how others feel about leaving feedback first as a buyer.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that SVCARDS (Cleansweep Auctions) left feed back for me within a day of the auctions end (I immediately paid). It's just nice to see a large dealer taking the time to do this.
