If a buyer doesn’t leave feedback within 30 days then ebay should make the assumption that they are ‘happy’ and positive feedback should be automatically left.
I personally think feedback is very important at least from the buyers perspective.
For instance, an ad came across Facebook for a product I thought interesting and worth buying. I went to Amazon to see what the feedback was on the product. Feedback was horrible and so ended the interest.
With Amazon feedback so bad it is probably why they are advertising on Facebook now.
