I'm a buyer. Bought item all good but my feedback rating did not go up. Why?

[surfspider]

Over time I've either won or bought 17 items but only 11 are in brackets after my name.  Have Had a pleasant experience with each one and left positive feedback for each one.    A recent item all went fine, I left positive feedback but no increase in feedback reputation yet again..  There's nothing more I can do.  Any Ideas?  Thanks

Leaving feedback is voluntary, for both parties.  Many sellers no longer bother leaving if for buyers, because buyers can receive nothing other than positive feedback (or none at all). So even the buyers from hell have 100% positive feedback.

The only useful feedback is that left for sellers.  So carry on leaving it, and remind yourself that you're here to make purchases, not to collect feedback. 🙂
