So I'm in the habit of waiting to give feedback until the buyer leaves feedback and/or gives me the opportunity to make things right if something goes wrong. Otherwise, the seller is at the mercy of any irrational buyer.
Also, I've had plenty of instances where no feedback was left by the buyer because he's either inexperienced with eBay or lazy... so why should seller automatically give a positive merely because of payment? It's a two-way street, and the feedback system is the only way to establish a proper reputation for future confidence.
Of course, eBay recently changed things so the seller can't give negative feedback to buyers, go figure.

Why should the seller leave feedback once the buyer pays?
Seriously?
What more does the buyer have to prove than pay in a timely fashion.
Bottom line is once the buyer PAYS. His end of the deal is finished. Period.
Seller should do the right thing and leave feedback that moment.
Would you, as the seller ship the item without receiving payment?
No, I didn't think so.
You say the seller is at the mercy of an irrational buyer to maybe, possibly leave a negative feedback. Well the buyer is at the mercy of the seller to maybe, possibly get a product which was paid for!
Too many times have I had lousy sellers hold the feedback over my head because it was there.
I'm glad eBay changed their policy. Except with the increased listing fees and all...
