As a seller, for 6 years I left feedback immediately after I received payment from the bidder. Recently, I have been burned by 2 bidders who I offered full refunds, they refused, kept the item and clobbered me on feedback. No one is perfect and as a seller, if I make a mistake, I offer a full refund including their shipping. This should never warrant negative or neutral feedback. So, I no longer leave feedback first unless I know the bidder.



I like the way yahoo does it. You can change the feedback you left. This would protect a seller from feedback extortion. Ebay's feedback system is a joke, retaliation feedback from deadbeat bidders is pathetic when ebay could easily tell if the bidder hasn't paid by the seller filling out a final value form. If the bidder didn't pay, the negative retalitory FB he left should be removed automatically.
