What if the buyer is dissatisfied with the widget?
that's exactly what happened to me. when i first started selling, i left feedback as soon as i got paid. it's what i always thought should happen when i was just a buyer. then one time someone left me neutral feedback, stating that they thought it took too long and wasn't worth it. they had never contacted me, and it took 9 days parcel post (the max) from fla. to ca. i contacted them, telling them i would have given them a refund. they ended up accepting the refund offer, and adding a positive comment that they'd left the feedback too hastily. it's still there, but at least it looks better. now, i don't leave feedback til it's O-V-E-R.
as for buyers not leaving feedback, i've only done that if i wasn't really satisfied (usually pet hair/smoke issues) but didn't want to make a big hassle out of it, as i was gonna keep whatever it was anyway.
but i kinda like mattroy's view on it.. count your money instead! lol
