>From my experience the vast majority of sellers are like this, it definitely seems to be the rule more than the exception. I'm generally a prompt payer as a buyer yet there are many instances where I've not received feedback until well after I've left feedback or not at all. As a seller I virtually always leave feedback once payment has cleared in my account. The exception might be where the buyer is obviously belligerent and potentially a source of trouble ie suggests that I deviate from my terms post auction for instance demanding that I accept Paypal payments, credit card payments, escrow etc when my terms state plainly that they are not options. I've mainly sold on eBay and I've only ever received one negative from an idiot who simply changed his mind about his interest in the transaction and left me a neg without warning. I've left more feedback than I've received, I guess in part because I don't use it as leverage. Then again some people are just lazy and either don't understand the feedback concept or simply can't be bothered, those people never bid on my auctions again. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
