ebay feedback as a buyer

[Griffins]

As a seller I leave feedback as soon as the item is paid for.

As a buyer I leave it as soon as I receive the item. Tells the seller it got there ok and makes it easy for me to keep track of what has been delivered and what hasn't.

I probably get feedback from only 30-40% of the sellers I buy from, but after a certain point does it even matter in the grand scheme of things?

I am soley a buyer. I leave feedback right after I get the item, unless there is problem with the item ( hardly ever happens). I used to care about getting feedback from the seller and felt it should come first. But now I don't care and understand under the current system why some sellers are hesitant to leave feedback until they know buyer is satisfied. Some buyers do abuse the current feedback system, as did some sellers under the old system.

I always leave feedback, but like Anthony find that some sellers do not. I just do not care anymore

I don't check to see whether FB has been left for me. Like others have said, does it really matter anymore?

As a seller I leave feedback immediately after the item is paid for...I have set up to do this automatically. I got tired of buyers constantly questioning why I hadn't left them feedback yet...I used to get behind in doing this because it took a long time to do it all manually when I was selling 200 to 300 items per week.

As a buyer I leave feedback the same day I receive my item...I do not care one way or another if the seller leaves me feedback in return. I have noticed on my purchase history page that almost all sellers leave me feedback...only 3 out of the last 20 sellers have not left me feedback even though I have left it for them...that goes back to November 10.

as a buyer, I leave feedback when I receive an item. As a seller, I leave feedback after I have received feedback or after a short amount of time. I used to leave it immediately but had 2 flaky buyers (non sports card related) that abused the feedback system so they ruined it for everyone. One situation was a foreign buyer that was told we do not ship outsied of the USA and they bid anyhow (they are now blocked) and another one was a person that was being difficult and claimed their mother used their account and they wanted a refund even though they had recieved the product.
