I'd probably leave a negative if:
1. The item was completely not as described
2. I asked for a refund/return
3. The seller was rude and didn't provide any help
4. It was not able to be sorted out via PayPal
Even then, who knows. Most things are as described and most sellers are nice, so there's not much reason to leave neutral or negs. If you buy alot, obviously the chances of a bad transaction are going to go up.

As far as I'm concerned, once I've paid that I've done everything that is required by myself yes. What else do I do? If something goes wrong with the delivery, or the item then its a different matter.
If I am the winning bidder then I just need to pay for the product. Once I do then what else am I required to do?
I know its probably meaningless, but its not the point. The point I was trying to make is why the seller doesn't leave feedback straight away? I understand that they might be doing a lot of transactions but thats not my problem. My contract is fulfiled as far as I'm concerned.

The point I was trying to make to you is that the way you see it isn't the way everyone else sees it, and you don't have the right to expect sellers to do things they way you expect because of a personal opinion.
It is only a personal opinion about if and when feedback "should" be left by anyone - be they the buyer or seller in a transaction, and eBay would be a much happier place to trade if everyone simply respected the fact that it's an individual choice.
Like I said, a buyer's involvement in a transaction is not ended just because they pay, in the same way a seller's involvement is not ended just because they post. There are a number of things that can happen between paying / posting / receiving that means the transaction needs follow-up communication and action. A lot of the time, the only way a seller knows a transaction is finalised is when they receive feedback from the buyer, since they have the right to decide that they will defer feedback until they are certain the transaction is concluded (not just when the buyer has done the one thing they have to to progress it), then why not just respect it and leave it at that?
For the record, I leave FB on receipt of payment - it's my choice - but this whole "I deserve feedback when I think I should get it" is one of my biggest bug bears of eBay. I do feedback my way, and have no problems whatsoever with others choosing to do it their way.
Even eBay says it's "incorrect" to expect sellers to leave FB after payment has been received (you take the FB tutorial to confirm that).
