    I just wouldn't give them anything as all you can leave is a positive. If you put a neg comment on it it will get removed.

    I agree, I wouldn't want to give any if i couldn't be really very positive about the transaction

    Paid...eventually.

    Although as the above said, this still adds to their +ve feedback score so I wouldn't bother.

    to be honest i wouldnt not leave them feedback - it doesnt bother me if a buyer takes a week to pay - they have 8 days anyway before i can close a NPB and as long as they pay in that time im happy.

    I'm afraid I agree with not leaving feedback, as it should be reserved only for those who pay on time!!
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    They paid on time within Ebay rules. Not leaving feedback is petty.

    The rules changed recently, now a buyer has 4 days to pay, not a week.

    Still is 8 days with the dispute process. In practice I don't bother opening a dispute until after the old 7 days anyway.
