I have my AW set to Allow Feedback to be left when Status is "Waiting to Ship" (Program Options:Invoices tab). Generally, I leave FB as soon as I get a payment, but every now and then I delay posting FB for one of two completely unrelated reasons. I'm wondering how you all handle each of these situations:

1. If I've gotten a bad vibe from a buyer (they've left a lot of nasty FB or they've been very demanding), I'll wait until I'm sure they're satisfied. (Status of these would be Waiting to Ship or Closed.)

2. When I've been paid with a Paypal echeck, and I've logged in the payment, but I haven't gotten the notification that the check has cleared yet. (Status of these would be Waiting for Payment or Waiting to Ship.)

In both cases, the transaction will show up on the Leave Feedback dialog box every time I want to leave FB for other invoices, and I have to remember to uncheck the one I want to hold off on. Is there a way to avoid this situation?

On a related note: I used to not log in the echecks as payment received until I got the check-cleared notification, but that seemed unfair, considering the fact that I log in paper checks and send Payment-Received emails to those buyers (and immediately leave FB). Why should the echecks be handled any differently? Or maybe they should. What do you do?

Thanks, Sue
