Why do some sellers wait until they receive feedback from the buyer before they leave their feedback about the buyer??
I Always pay as soon as a transaction is made, unless I'm waiting for another auction from the same seller to end, in which case I contact seller and let them know.
Many sellers give feedback as soon as sale is paid for, but I have noticed that some wait until I leave my feedback (when I've received the goods). Are they waiting to see if I'm going to leave neutral/ neg. feedback before they're prepared to give me positive for my fast transaction/payment??
Thankyou to the sellers who have the confidence to judge me on my performance.

·12 years agoMany sellers, myself included leave it until transaction is complete. (Buyer has item and indicated by leaving feedback)
Main reason, as a seller when I leave feedback the transaction is no longer on any reminder lists in ebay therefore leaving feedback until last reminds me of the transactions that may not have been received yet.

·2 years agoWe adopt this same approach as you do. Last night we received a rude email from a 'man' demanding why we hadn't left him feedback, yet. We replied that we usually wait until the buyer has received his item and is happy etc etc ... and he wrote a nasty, negative feedback in return - accusing us of being "poor traders". He clearly had a hissy fit, late on a Friday night, and took it out on us. We used to leave feedback straightaway, then counted 87 buyers who hadn't bothered to return the respect. So...

Why drag up an ELEVEN year old thread to add nothing relevant?

·12 years agoLeaving Feedback is voluntary as is feedback timing.
I leave feedback as soon as I post someones purchase, to thank them for their payment and confirm post date.
I believe receiving feedback from sellers, and the timing of it, is also important for some buyers, and even seems to cause some issues inself for some sellers if they don't leave feedback when payment or goods are sent. If you are confident in your products and service then I think that it is not worth the risk of annoying those buyers who have a clear preference regarding feedback.
There are others that will be along soon to explain that they leave feedback at the end of a transaction after the buyer has received their goods.
IMO withholding feedback until a buyer leaves it for a seller does very little to contribute to buyer confidence and satisfaction with ebay generally.
However, it is a voluntary system so sellers and buyers have a choice to when, and if, they leave feedback.

·2 years ago87 feedbacks for buyers who don't even bother to reciprocate? Would you keep doing it? Then 2 buyers in just as many weeks attempting to say they never received their items ... yet Australia Post Investigations proved the items were delivered? Of course, certain sellers wait until they receive feedback first as confirmation that the item has reached the buyer and all is well. It's a respectful thing to do, by both parties. You have clearly been very lucky, so far.
