A buyer should comment once the item is received as advertised in a timely manner. If there is a problem with the item, contact the buyer so they have a chance to make it right. A seller's feedback rating is very important for his reputation on ebay. I will not leave any feedback, positive or negative, for any buyers until they leave it for me first. This allows me to retain the option of returning a negative and then petitioning to have the feedback mutually withdrawn. This is my only recourse against buyers who want to leave a negative.


This is probably one of the dumbest post I have seen about Ebay and the feedback system. Basically what you are saying here is that if I win one of your auction and pay you immediately through Paypal you will not leave me positive feedback until I leave it for you. Just for the sake of argument, say I win your auction and pay as I'm supposed to and you send me something that is not as you described in the auction. I shouldn't have to contact you and tell you that you send me junk then go through the hassle of repacking the item, going to the post office and getting stuck with shipping charges both ways. If I win your auction and have to go through all this, you are getting a negative feedback. Now, what you are saying here is that because I left you negative feedback, you will leave me a negative feedback when I did absolutely nothing wrong. In my opinion, Ebayers that leave retalitory feedback should be banned from Ebay. If I deserve a bad feedback, by all means, leave it. But if I have done everything exactly as I am supposed to, leave my positive feedback. I have been using Ebay for over 8 years and have a rating of over 1500 and have never received a negative feedback. When I sell, I always leave feedback as soon as the buyer pays because it's the right thing to do.
