this is i suppose only a minor quibble.
but,as a buyer, if i purchase and then then promptly pay for an item. i believe that is my part done. and i should be left feedback for that. and if the seller does his part then i leave feedback for them.
i am finding that sellers aren't leaving feedback til after me, the buyer leaves it first.
as the buyer, i complete my obligation first, then i have to wait and hope the seller completes there obligation. so i end up missing out on feedback. because i will not be coerced just to get my numbers up.
thank you

A seller has the right to decide, just like buyers, when, how and even if they will leave feedback. An opinion about when a seller should leave feedback is fine if it's applied in relation to yourself as a seller, but no one has the right to decide when another member "should" leave feedback, because it's voluntary so "should" doesn't come into it.
If a transaction was only about meeting the minimum obligations, buyers wouldn't actually form opinions about seller practices that don't compromise their minimum obligations, like whether the seller leaves feedback, their postage charges in relation to actual cost, dispatch time...and go on to let them affect whether the transaction is considered positive or negative.
Funnily enough, the same can be said about buyers - payment may be the minimum obligation, but it's not all a buyer contributes to a transaction, and each seller has the right to leave a comment after the buyer's contribution is complete, just like buyers don't leave FB until they've received their item and there is nothing further to be done by the seller.
