Also (and I think that's too in Ebay's rules) the feedback should take into account how *both* partners handle possible complaints. If I (as a seller) provide feedback immediately after I ship the goods I cannot do this. If a buyer has a problem with what he received from me I certainly do my best to satisfy him - but I also expect him to be reasonable. This is still part of the transaction and included in my feedback.
Leaving the feedback of both partners disclosed for some weeks (and whether or not they have given any) would work well, I guess, but it would probaby lead to more negative feedback in total - and I doubt that Ebay has any interest in seeing that.
