YAET: Who should leave feedback first?

A co-worker of mine is ranting about majority of people not leaving feedbacks in his ebay dealings. Regardless of sellers or buyers. He even mentioned a guy who has 24 positive feedbacks, but when you click on "left for others" he left none! He's thinking about leaving a negative feedback for this guy at the last minute.

Tell your coworker he's an idiot. Why should the guy get a negative if the transaction went smoothly? Feedback is about the transaction, not whether the person has left feedback in the past.
 
He is, last week I have to listen to him all day about this pair of speakers that he won for his Mustang and the seller refused to let him pick it up locally.

He left a negative feedback and then whines again when he got a negative back (like, who's going to leave a positive feedback after that?).
 
In a perfect world, the buyer's job is done when payment has cleared and the seller should leave feeback then. The buyer should then leave feedback when he verifies the item is as specified in the auction.

But it's not a perfect world. If you're going to leave a negative feedback, wait until the last minute.
 
Ethically? Jzero is correct. The SELLER should leave feedback first as soon as payment is recieved.

In the real world, though, the sellers always wait until the buyers leave feedback, and then only leave a positive if the buyer does it first then bugs the sh!t out of him.

E-bay needs to make some clear rules about this... maybe not allowing another auction until feedback is made on a completed auction by a seller would be a good idea?

Yeah, and hiding the feedback until both parties have submitted or something.
 
I usually don't leave feedback for anyone until they leave some for me.. in case someone wants to leave me a BS negative feedback.

I always say NO local pickup and state all shipping charges IN the auction listing. Yet people bitch about not being able to pick it up or that my shipping charges are too much then leave a neg or neutral feedback.. It's not my fault you don't read the auction listing.

I'm sorry but i'm not taking time to meet you somewhere or allow you to come to my house.. because you may be a psycho path and I'd rather not waste the time.. also boxes and shipping materials cost money. I'm not amazon.com so I don't get a bulk shipping discount.
