mr. mosesyou've gotten me into Ollie...... While no longer selling directly on eBay, I sold nearly 10,000 items there in the past. I figured it was my responsibility to leave feedback the moment I got paid. As a frequent BUYER I would leave feedback when the item came; provided it matched the listing and was received timely. I have noticed that sellers on average are no longer leaving me feedback in advance of getting a positive themselves, and that's without an even more cumbersome feedback system as is being implimented now. I surmise a good deal less feedback will be left by sellers/buyers and will reflect mostly transactions in which the buyer or seller are looking for the feedback to bolster their own lower ratings. I no longer leave feedback without the seller doing so. If these ego-centric and miopic behaviors start to occur on a global scale, it suggests an eventual undermining of the intent and purpose behind the system that eBay was FOUNDED on.... When all is said and done it's all about ME"-)
