I am a frequent buyer and sometimes seller because like most people here you can't get rid of high end vintage on craigslist. I was not aware that buyers felt this way about sellers. Like I said I mostly buy and sometimes sell and I have always felt a seller is just in waiting for my feedback. A seller has no reason to leave negative feedback if you paid promptly and left negative feedback when you got your item so why all the worry? I have never worries about it. And I know I am coming off as the big bad immoral seller, but like I said I only very occasionally sell a few things. It's not like the seller is holding a guillotine over your neck waiting for you to leave negative feedback in case you leave a neutral. If there is an issue you both have not left feedback and the transaction has not been completed till any issue has been settled or the item is safely in the buyers hands and they are happy. So why does everyone want the seller to leave premature feedback? If there is a problem you are equals, both not having left feedback.

I will say that I will continue to be fine with sellers waiting to leave feedback. I am waiting on 4 iems to be delivered currently and have received feedback for none of those transactions and most of them I have been waiting for over a week but I consider 2 weeks a reasonable delivery wait. However, since it is becoming clear that buyers appreciate immediate feedback upon receipt of payment I think I will leave immediate feedback from now on as I feel my auctions are honest and my items well represented.
