Question How long to pay for ebay item

[bosoxfan]

I have read this thread today for the first time and I'd like to take it in a different direction. I do sell cards on ebay, but for the most part I'm a buyer. I've never received or left a neg/neutral.

I usually wait till the auction is about to end before I bid, so I'm on ebay when it's over and I'll pay immediately. On the other occasions when I'm not on, Ill pay the next day when I get home from work.

A few sellers will then leave me feedback before they ship.

When I got that newly purchased card in the mail I would leave feedback the day the card came. Only then most sellers would leave me feedback. This was going on for the last two plus years.

Well I started selling cards starting this past Oct. Once the person paid me I'd shipped the card off the next day and left postive feedback for the buyer.

I didn't wait for them to leave me feedback. Most paid very quickly, so what more could I ask of them?


So I decided, as a buyer, I am no longer leaving positive feedback for sellers until they leave me feedback.
I have a pretty good idea why they don't, I'm still not doing it. It's just the principal of it.

any thoughts?
