I don't think that it is wrong as such, but for me it goes against the
principle of feedback. Ie. feedback is 'worth' a lot more if the person is so
truely impressed with your service that they decide of their own accord to take
the time to leave you positive feedback. Regardless of whether the dealing was
on eBay or not.
My naive mind thought that all feedback was unsolicited!
If it is the case that a lot of people 'conspire' together to give each other
good feedback then it's up to you whether you want to join in with that. Or you
could make a note on your eBay pages that you don't solicit feedback.
Either way, it's a personal decision and I don't think that anyone could pass
judgement on you whatever you decide.
