I have yet to leave feedback on any seller that don't leave it for me once he sent the package.
Coincedently I only have 1 feedback

Chady, I am an Ebay seller & when I post an item I send the buyer an email giving an estimated delivery date for the parcels arrival ~ I also ask if they can send an email once they do receive the item.
I leave feedback once I know they have the item (if they don't email I usually leave feedback after a month)
The reason I don't leave it when I post is: the item could get lost & it is my responsibility to try & make a Postal claim, to me the sale isn't complete until the buyer has the goods.
I also include any change if I over quote on postage.
I have received 798 feedback but I have left 869 for my buyers.
It's not all one way traffic.

This is the method I think few and at least I have no problem with. My problem is solely with anyone who wants to exhaust my feedback option before they leave theirs even though he he knows that I have the item through a pm, and its as explained in his auction. I've only won 3 thus far, 1 seller sent me feedback instantly as he sent the package. If I recall the guy had at least 1k feedbacks and a 99.something, probably 9+ rating I believe too. He was a really nice guy and linguistically well spoken.
