Feedback participation is purely OPTIONAL on ebay, there are no "ebay rules" regarding when and and even if you leave feedback for the other party on a transaction. The problem with the so called guideline, there is really no other way of knowing if the sale is truly complete other than positive feedback from the buyer. If ebay had a system where the buyer "check off" the sale as completed and final and satifactory (buyer could no longer make any claims or post negative feedback ) then a seller could leave positive feedback first, but they dont have that. jco

Sometimes it's just easier to quote from the page: "Once the sale is complete, leave feedback for your buyer and encourage them to do the same for you." It would seem that sellers withholding feedback until they see buyer feedback is against the rules. Could sellers doing this be justifying negative feedback for not following the guidelines?
