Well as a buyer and seller with 100 percent positive feedback I have to disagree with Stacy. I would say I get feedback from the seller for one out of 10 purchases before I leave feedback. Hell I even receive no feedback from seller who just don't care apparently. I always accepted that the seller waits for you to give you final seal of approval. You can't guarantee someone hasn't emotionally overbid the item and then is horrified and when they receive it panic and make crazy demands, you just never know. If a buyer has a legitimate claim for returning the item I am happy to take it back. Once I sold a set of skewers on ebay and when I was packaging them I cracked a piece of the plastic wing-nut. I contacted the buyer and refunded their money.
Since this practice of sellers waiting for the buyer to leave feed-back is so common I just have been doing the same. I have never left feedback in haste, I once left negative feedback after a week of emails with a seller that would not make good on their blunder, and I had a legitimate claim but no protection because I sent a money order. If you pay with paypal you are protected to some extent.
