Chris IMO the feedback system is good but flawed. As a buyer your only obligation is to pay in a timely fashion and provide an accurate shipping address. The rest of the transaction on Ebay is the sellers responsibility. I for one leave feedback once payment is received and as a buyer leave feedback once the item has arrived. Looking at my feedback history it's clear that I have left feedback for 125 more auctions than have been left for me. I think Ebay should force feedback to be left by both parties. The new feedback system should also work both ways. The seller should be able to give individule ratings like the buyer. Speed of payment, completion time of received invoice and communication skills to name a few. There are more than a few I wanted to give some less than positive feedback for and wished I could rate them as they rate me. Might be a bit much but the buyer should have to play by the same rules the seller abides by.
