So this might be useless to most, but I must be getting denser in my near-middle-agedness because it took a couple minutes to figure out how to leave Buyer/Seller Feedback, even though it was super easy once I figured it out. I am under 40, run a software company, started my career as a software developer, and have been active on various forums for 15+ years, so I'm not a complete idiot on the internet.

In the spirit of giving to a community I'm trying to get more involved with, here's a quick guide for how to leave Buyer/Seller Feedback on Head-Fi, hopefully littered with enough keywords in the title and text to make it bubble up to the top of searches on Head-fi and the Googles for anyone searching how to leave or create buyer or seller feedback on Head-Fi. See what I did there. :)

Step 1: Buy or Sell Something on the For Sale Forum, then offer to provide feedback (and ask for the same).
This is tongue-in-cheek, but I know I sometimes need an occasional reminder about good communication, fast payment, good packaging, etc. Golden rule and all.

In my case, I bought a Topping D50 from @pataburd. He was great and quickly provided feedback. However, I was a little slow, since it wasn't immediately intuitive

Step 2: Providing Buyer/Seller Feedback on Head-Fi
Turns out it's super simple and similar to other Forums I've been involved with.

First, click on anyone's user name from a post, message, etc.
A popover/modal will display like this. In my case, it also displays a creepy, poorly decorated gingerbread man that my son chose for my profile picture.

Then, click Click Trader History (the fast way) or Profile Page (extra clicks).
Clicking Trader History will take you to the page below. If you click Profile Page above, the link to this page is on the left column of profile pages under profile pictures and is labeled Trader History.

Click Submit Feedback under Selling History if you want to leave feedback for someone you bought something from and vice versa.

From there it's pretty straight forward. Just leave your feedback and submit.

Hopefully this makes it easier for others in the future leave feedback for the first time.

Sean,
Thank you.
Does anyone know of an easy way to find all your posted [FS] ads?
This used to be very straightforward on an earlier HF platform, but it now eludes me.

OK.
Thanks!
There used to be a direct path only to the FS threads.

How do you leave feedback with the new system?
The trader feedback option has been removed & there is no option to leave feedback in the Classifieds feedback in a persons profile.

Go to the listing after it's been closed, click on the three dot symbol on the right, right above the listing, and there will be an option there to leave feedback

Thank you. But "click on the dot thing" is the only way to leave feedback now!?!

How intuitive

Yet another "new and improved" platform revision!

Seller should be able to go back to the ad, click on the three dots and leave feedback for buyer.

You would think that should be possible, but when I click on "Add feedback" under the three dot menu on an ad for something I just sold, there appears to only be an option to leave feedback for the seller. There is no obvious way to direct the feedback to the buyer, at least not that I could see. I filled out the feedback form and clicked submit, but it never asked me who the feedback was for, so I assume it was only for the seller since there is no indication of who the buyer is connected to the ad. So I may have just left feedback for myself!!!

Might be a recent fluke, then.
I have left Buyer feedback on many occasions (but not within the last few weeks).
