[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1126023, member: 25357"]I've bought coins on eBay for years. I just recently started selling. What amazes me is how few buyers actually even leave feedback. I remember when sellers used to not leave feedback until you as a buyer had left your positive feedback. This resulted in the situation described above in which the seller essentially held the buyer 'hostage' until positive feedback was received. Then eBay changed its policy, such that sellers leave feedback once payment is received. I agree with this policy, after all, once a buyer has paid, what else do they really need to do to fulfill their end of the bargain? So now as a seller, as soon as payment is received, I leave positive feedback for the buyer. In my experience so far as a seller, I would say that about 25% of the buyers out there don't even bother to leave feedback. So this policy change has definitely tilted the table in favor of the buyer. I will give GDJMSP props here!
