I never claimed to be classy, but I do claim some knowledge of how online trading works. I'd rather be knowledgable than 'elitist classy'.

DONT YOU PEOPLE KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. I,m going to bed, can you lot let the cat out please and turn the lights off when you eventually go to bed yourselves !!!

if a seller can only leave positive feedback why not leave it when payment has been made

This is a statement in one of happychaps posts after the original post of why does a seller wait to leave feedback after the buyer has left one, so you see it has got to the stage of IMMEDIATELY when the payment has been made!

Didn't you read my second last post I think,I said that it is going to be an all nighter so get the coffee.

JUST KEEP THE NOISE DOWN YOU LOT, SOME OF US ARE TRYING TO SLEEP !!!

really, it does not say immediately it says "why not leave it when payment has been made", why did you use capitals I didn't, do you think that is somehow impressive to use them

why not leave it when payment has been made

Are you serious? to me this means immediately not 3 days later why are you spinning things around now?

On topic... I find it interesting OP that if you have a look at the practices of the most successful sellers, regardless of volume or $$$, but successful in their market segment and size of operation, they all seem to leave feedback for their buyers after receiving payment or posting goods.

I will let you in on another little secret so don't tell anyone but when I write in capitals I am actually SHOUTING 

I leave feedback as soon as I have posted, but that is my choice, and certainly not mandatory. If OP was able to buy from me, I would probably make an exception as a matter of principle.

It WAS an option, but you decided to not choose either.
