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? I could not have said it better I will start doing the same us buyers must stick together. Rob

I think there are better things to use your energy for. Either as a buyer or as a seller, I leave feedback when it crosses my mind or when someone asks me to. It eventually gets left for everyone I had a transaction for, regardless of whether or not they left it for me. I am way, way, way on the short side regarding feedback, but who cares?

I leave feedback as a seller as soon as I receive payment. Sometimes buyers leave feedback, sometimes not, I really don't care. If the buyer is not satisfied we work out a solution.

As a buyer I leave feedback when the item arrives.

Seems simple.

I chart all feedback that is left for me and rate it before leaving any. If a person takes the time to write original feedback, that certainly weighs more than the system generated options from ebay. I would never think of mixing the two. If multiple listed items make up the order, I rate on the variety of feedback as well as the number of words; using the Scrabble point system is helpful, but obviously just a guide. Punctuation counts, too. If anyone wants my feedback rating Excel spreadsheet, just drop a line.

I just left feedback a few moments ago for an item I won and it looks like ebay has done away with stars and now you have choices like "Very Satisfied", "Satisfied", et cetera...IMO this looks like ebay's way to get those DSR's on top rated sellers to go lower..then they can take away their 20% discount on selling fees. The threshold for which is an unbelievably high bar..one ticked off buyer (or just an incredibly dumb one) can cost a seller hundreds of dollars a month.

Good lord. I can see it now.

In the area of "Communication" this seller rates a "Very Satisfie....."
