G'day Mal,

I don't think there will ever be an equitable feedback system, we just have to make do with the best of a bad lot.

I originally would leave feedback for buyers as soon as I received payment but found many wouldn't bother to leave me any, fair enough you don't want BAD but a pat on the back is always nice.

Now days I leave feedback if it is left for me, if I don't get any I don't dwell on it, I know some people have better things to do and so long as they are happy I am happy.

The star rating system is completely anonymous, you can rate as honestly as you like, I don't see how anyone could extort a better rating really regardless of feedback, so don't feel pressured at all there.
