Some people don't give each feeback instantaneously, but all at once-- kind of like paying the bills at the end of the week. After each check received in the mail, I don't sprint to the computer with shoes untied and give positive feedback. If you think someone should give you feedback, email them and ask them to and he or she probably will.

As a buyer and a seller I give a postive feedback when deserved and I don't have requirement that the buyer gives feeback first. I understand people value, want and deserve their good feedback. However, if eBay buyers issued me a stop watch, referee and log book to record how long it takes me to give each feedback, they'd be waiting a long time for their positive feedback.

I had a salty old relative who was one day doing his taxes. There was a box on the form that said "Do Not Write In This Box. For Government Use Only." So my relative wrote in the box, "I will write wherever I damn well please" ... That's similar to how I would react to to the stopwatch, referee and feedback, considering I already give positive feedback regularly.
