Being a casual user of Ebay I am coming across more and more sellers stating that they will only leave feedback once the buyer has done so first. Why is this?
As far as I see it, if I place a bid on an item, win the auction then pay immediately (which I always do) then as far as I'm concerned my part of the transaction is complete and I should receive positive feedback to reflect this.
I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of blackmail. For example if I were to leave neutral feedback due to poor packing resulting in minor damage it would then be wrong of the seller to leave neutral or negative feedback for me no?
This has happened to me in the past. I contacted the seller to explain things (including a photo) but my contact was ignored so I felt I had no option other than to leave neutral feedback with an explanation. It was only then the seller contacted me ranting and raving...plus leaving me negative feedback!
Most strange.

Jay.
