seller refuses to leave feedback

[red_magpie]

No-one is obliged to leave feedback. The only feedback that sellers are allowed to give anyway is positive, so making it compulsory would make it meaningless.

As it isn't compulsory, you are not allowed to leave feedback complaining that the seller hasn't left it for you. If you are reported for this it will be removed, and you will get a feedback policy warning from eBay.

Feedback is voluntary and no one has to leave it

You should not be asking for it and if I were that seller that you left the feedback for I would be phoning ebay and pushing them to remove the follow up to the positive feedback you left

Many do not leave it now and it is the item you are buying and not feedback

A seller can only leave a positive feedback anyway which makes feedback futile as all buyers have 100% pos.

I definately would not be leaving any for you now.

Some sellers leave feedback in batches and not straight away and have 60 days to leave it

something to do with feedback being voluntary?

[*vyolla*]

Are you buying feedback or an item you want from eBay?

Sellers don't have to leave feedback, it's a voluntary system.

Buyer feedback is pretty pointless anyway, considering it only indicates that somebody has bought and paid for something.

That follow up comment you've left is ridiculous. Why do that?

The seller does leave feedback,but when there ready!

Best get used to the idea that many members no longer leave feedback,as it's becoming a dying art,and happening to almost everyone.

As others have rightly pointed out feedback is voluntary,  and a seller can ony leave positive feedback for a buyer,  so in general they will wait for the buyer to leave feedback first, making sure the transaction was a good one,  before recoprocating....   if they wish.

Some sellers also wait, and leave feedback in bulk too.

You have given and received roughly the same amount of feedback,  just 20 amiss,  so that is a very good percentage of sellers replying to you.
