should buyer or seller leave feedback first

[tritoncolin]

Who should leave feedback first,buyer or seller? As a buyer only, I am always prepared to leave feedback first, but I am finding an icreasing number of sellers just don't bother to leave any. I have now decided to leave feedback only to sellers who leave it first..I think feedback is important and Ebay should make it compulsary and deduct points from anyone who fails to leave it.

I do think that it would be good to see buyers rated as sellers are, because however bad a buyer is they always have 100% Positive feedback.

You idea just shows that you have never sold. Any sensible seller should never leave feedback first, when the buyer turns into the buyer from hell, the seller cannot withdraw their remarks saying what a wonderful buyer they are having receiving a Negative in return. Or case opened for not as described and some rubbish returned and seller forced to refund in full.

Try selling and see what you think, or read about some of the terrible buyers and the tricks they get up to by reading on here.
