Heatware question: When is it appropriate to leave it?

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Maybe I'm wrong. I've always done it so that once the deal has been completed, each leaves their evals.

Day 1: I sell part
Day 1: Guy sends me PayPal
Day 2: I ship
Day 4: Guy gets package, emails and says everything looks good
Day 6: I leave eval

A few times I have sold things and the other party asks for an eval on day 1, right after I receive payment. I can understand their point. I normally wait to make sure the item arrives fine. What if the guy is a total ass once he receives the product? What if it breaks the next day and tells me he's going to come give me a ride on the mantrain? I give a couple of days buffer to give them time to actually install it and make sure things are going to work.

Is just sending someone money a good enough reason for a eval? I always kinda treated the eval as a report on the whole experience. Am I outta line and doing it wrong? Should I leave an eval the day I get the funds?

Bruno, I always wait til the deal is finalized, too. It makes sense, you dont wanna get fukked over, neither does he.

I never leave an eval until the entire deal is complete. Once the deal is complete I leave heatware.

What pisses me off is when you have to BEG people to leave you heatware. Damn that makes me mad :|:|:|

I had the same problem on ebay, when I used it.

There are more than a few times I didn't get any feedback at all even after I had already given positive feedback to the other user.

After that I started waiting to give any feedback until they gave me mine.

waiting to give any feedback until they gave me mine Thats a good policy, IMHO.

That is how I do my eBay feedback as well.
