If they sent you the funds first and you waited for the appropriate confirmations, then it really didn't require any trust on your part. A neutral is more appropriate. If you provided the goods and services first, and then they paid you upon receipt or completion, a positive would be appropriate. IMHO

That's what I'm thinking too. I've not sent anything first for 2 years so I'm never really put in a position where I have to trust the other party.

You may want to also leave positive trust if they paid you by reversible means such as paypal or wire transfer. Not right away, however...

I've long struggled with this myself but, when I've sold something physical in the collectibles section and the buyer left me positive trust I've often done the same. Although I'm the seller and I didn't have to trust the other party with anything besides sending me money I think that a neutral would be more suitable.

I just had a thought that if someone has a tarnished rep here (Like 2-3-4 negatives) and decided to go on over to goods/collectibles and make a few trades they could basically buy trust to restore some sort of reputation to their account which is quite bad. I don't think this has happened yet and there's nothing saying it ever will but I was just going over it in my head and if I were put in such a position it would seem like a "cheap" out.

Now, to my question. Can a neutral trust rating be considered fair when someone bought something from me? I more often than not receive a PM saying "Hey, I bought this thing from you and left you positive trust, would appreciate it if you left me some too.", it always feels weird if I don't do it but lately I've been trying to move away from it but it's hard.
