I think I must be missing something with the whole ebay feedback process. I figured it was a step-by-step kind of thing. If I am selling something, I leave feedback when the buyer pays me because that is the first step and then they leave feedback when they receive the item. Likewise, when I am buying something, I wait until I receive the item to leave feedback as I need to comment on shipping and packaging.
Here's my confusion. I just bought a new cart on ebay. I paid immediately upon the end of the auction. As in; I refreshed, the screen said I won, and I hit pay now. It was seriously not even 30 seconds. The seller has already shipped the item and today I receive an email from her thanking me for the purchase and letting me know she will be happy to leave positive feedback after I do the same for her.
What is wrong with this picture? Am I missing something? Shouldn't the ball be in her court first? I'm so irritated by this that I am considering not leaving feedback at all. I know in the scheme of things it's a petty annoyance but I'm grouchy and this is just one more thing that ticked me off.
So am I not understanding this? What do y'all think?
