Give it a bit of time....

Just sold my Gameboy, sent it Special Delivery - it arrived yesterday but I haven't had feedback.

Just checked the buyer's items for sale - it's been split up and being re-sold on eBay as of yesterday. The buyer hasn't left me any feedback either.

I know you take that risk, but surely anyone half decent would leave feedback and have a bit of courtesy to wait before relisting!!

I'm not mad that they've relisted (when I saw the buyer's ebay name I knew what they'd do), I'm just a bit peeved that they've literally opened the packing, taken photos and relisted the item there and then, without so much as a thank you!

    Feed back is optional and isn't really worth getting stressed about.

    As for re selling items, it happens a lot. Most ebayers that do this use a different account to buy and then re sell the item but only so that new buyers won't see how much they paid for the item originally.

    Have you actually left feedback for them? If not, perhaps they're thinking "Well I paid her ages ago and she's banked the money and still not left me feedback."
    For some reason, many eBay users refuse to leave feedback until the other party has done so. In this case it appears that both of you fall into this category, hence neither of you will get feedback.
    Can I help?

    Agree with the comment above. As the buyer is obviouslly happy with their purchase, because they're re-selling it, then I think you can leave positive feedback and you'll probably get a similar response from the buyer. If not then perhaps send a polite e-mail stating that you have left feedback and it would be nice if they could do the same for you....this is what I usually do and it tends to work.
