I have a different opinion. I buy 20x what I sell, but when I sell, I'm
leaving feedback on the transaction, not just whether I got the money.
Say I advertise XYZ in good, but not perfect condition. Buyer sends me
money. Do I immediately send feedback? No, because we aren't done.
Say I ship it and the buyer says: Hey, stupid, XYZ isn't in perfect
condition. I want my money back! I'd regret if I'd already left
feedback in that case, or in the case where I ship it and the receiver
claims they never received the item.
I do agree with the part that feedback shouldn't be contingent on the
feedback of the other party, but sending feedback half way through the
deal seems like a bad idea.
