I cannot stress this out enough: if you are buying on eBay, PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

If you don't know, for most sellers, if the buyer doesn't leave feedback, the seller can't get their money until 3 weeks after payment is received. This is to prevent people from getting scammed by not shipping the shoes. I know Powersellers can get their money right away, but I am not a Powerseller. I'm tired of having to wait to get my money with my last 5 sales.

I am also aware I can PayPal and have them release the money to me, but I also want to build my feedback, as well. To me, it's just the nice thing to do. I make sure to leave feedback everytime after I receive the item. Thanks for your time.

When I was first starting off it used to bug me, but now I sell so much that I really don't care.

I used to just send buyers friendly reminders to leave feedback a couple days after the package was delivered, and most would do it that same day.
 
The worst is when you see they've left feedback for other people since they bought from you.

I swear I'd have at least 40-50+ more positive feedbacks if everyone handled their business the right way.  
 
wait what? I'm not a powerseller and I never came across a 3 week holding period?
 
^ I had it happen one time about 5 years ago when I sold a Blackberry.  That was actually my only negative feedback and I got it because I asked the buyer to leave feedback before she got the BB so the money could be released.

I stopped selling after that for years b/c I wasn't feeling not having money in my account for an item that I no longer had in my possession.  It just didn't feel right to me, and still doesn't.  
 
As long as the tracking number is updated on Ebay and the item has been marked as delivered, i've always gotten the funds released about two days after. I'm not a power seller either. Only time I did have to wait was when the delivery status never updated. Stayed on "out for delivery"

I always do but it's kinda annoying when a seller doesn't leave you feedback in return.
This is what I hate the most. I should be at least in the 80-90 range, but no. People don't even care for feedback anymore.
 
I easily am missing 700 feedback because of this. It is what it is but you always sit waiting on someone to complain

This is Not true. Maybe you should read PayPal terms

If you use PayPal Shipping your money will be released 3 days after it has been delivered regardless if they leave feedback or not
 
Has any sellers ever asked the buyers to revise their negative feedback? I got a message from a seller a few weeks ago asking me if I can revise my feedback. He was willing to give me $20 for doing it.
 
I never have this happen to me anymore. As soon as an Item is paid for I can withdraw it from my PayPal account to my bank, without any feedback or shipping info.
 
This is from PayPal:
Estimated funds availability

While you establish a successful eBay sales history, you may not have access to your money for up to 21 days. You may get it sooner, but it may take longer if your buyer reports a problem with the sale.

Help get your money faster
Print eBay or PayPal labels so your tracking information uploads automatically
Manually enter your tracking information on eBay or your PayPal Transaction Details page if you ship domestically directly through USPS, UPS, or FedEx
Mark your items as shipped on eBay
