Are members not leaving feedback anymore?

Joined in 2003.

If I purchase something should I not get positive feedback? I paid, what else is there for a buyer to do on their end?

Is this a case of holding feedback hostage, whereas the seller waits to receive positive feedback first? In the past I noticed "dealers" had a tendancy to do this. Now it's not exclusive to them.

I've purchased 4-5 items in the last 2 years, and havent received a single feedback from any of these "members".

So what happens? I don't leave any feedback either. I don't want to ask for feedback, and I shouldn't have to.

Before Agon with an eBay style businees model, this was a very well respected site –at least it was when I joined.

Is etiquette a thing of the past? Is it a reach to use the term "members" anymore?

I know,it is irritating.I always leave feedback and less than 50% leave any for me.I 've been a member here since 2000 and it didn't used to be that way.

I always leave feedback and always send a note stating “I left you great feedback, please do the same. “. That usually does the trick.

I usually wait for a buyer to leave feedback before I do. Just in case there is an issue with the sale.

Feedback is harder to come by now than it was in earlier days. It's also understandable as it's meaningless in some cases.
Case in point was a fairly recent incident where feedback was removed by agon because it did not suit the person receiving the feedback. Not that said feedback was negative but it stated that "unfortunately communication was non existent " The receiver of this feedback complained to agon and it was removed. It was honest feedback. So this feedback system is really not a good way to judge. My way is to contact and see how they respond.
