Who should be the first on e-bay

[tintin40]

to leave feed back? The seller or the buyer? As buyer on the bay hasn't left any feed back. Is he waiting for me to leave first?
(this is a different sell to my other ebay question earlier on the week)

I'd say seller, if the buyer has paid promptly then you can't complain. Most of the bigger sellers leave feedback immediately after you've purchased something.

don't think it matters - don't think seller can leave negative these days can they?

I find that sellers often wait until the buyer's left feedback before doing so themselves. That's fine.
If the seller is quick to leave highly complimentary , effusive, feedback immediately, then it frequently means the item ain't going to be as good as promised...

The way I see it is if a buyer pays promptly and meets their end of the deal then the seller should leave feedback ..

Once the goods arrive, and as long as the seller has met the buyers expectations, the buyer should leave feedback.

But in my experience sellers don't like leaving feedback until buyers have.

I have only bought, never sold on Ebay.

I'm quite lazy though I'm afraid.

I always wait for feedback to be left for me before I leave mine.

In honesty, if they can't be bothered, neither can I...

Unless of course it's a bad transaction - but luckily I have not had many of these.

I hate Feedback ransom. I've had sellers send emails saying they'll leave feedback for me after I leave good feedback for them, and they were paid within 5 minutes of the auction ending.

Let the buyer leave feedback first everytime,as if you leave positive feedback and then the seller slates you,you have had it,some buyers moan at the most pathetic things,and will wait to get the positive from you before leaving theirs.
I have trouble from stingy people over the postage cost which is always the same and charged at cost.

As a buyer I leave feedback as soon as the item arrives and I'm happy with it.

As a seller I wait until the buyer leaves it as I then know it arrived safely and they are pleased with what they purchased. Really don't like selling on ebay anymore though so avoid it if possible.
