How do new sellers get feedback on ebay?

I recently started selling on ebay. Two weeks ago I had 20 auctions and only 8 left feedback. I noticed all of the buyers that won my auctions have either 100's or 1000's of feedback. Is there anyway to get these people to leave feedback or are new sellers screwed?
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED

Not everyone who plans to leave feedback does so immediately. Often I won't even log onto eBay again until a month after a completed auction, and that reminds me to leave feedback. It would be nice if everyone did it ASAP, but not realistic unfortunately.
you're at 40% hit rate, that's actually not terrible depending on who is buying
Yeah, what they said, and there isn't any way
you can force someone to leave you feedback.
Some people just don't. Nothing you can do
about it.

Me too. Once every month or so I do a whole bunch.

Someone from another forum told me whoever does not leave feedback to put them on my blocked list.

Why in the world would anyone want to do this unless they want to make less money.

Why would you want to do that?
The goal of selling at auction is to get as many bidders
as possible bidding on your items. To block someone
for something as unimportant as whether they leave
feedback or not, just seems a bit petty and limits the
number of bidders, and therefor the amount of money
you will make.
Nose off to spite face.

Do the absolute best job as a seller you can with listings, price, shipping. The works. The let the chips fall where they may. Can't force someone to leave feedback, all you can is your best on there to earn it. Even then, that sometimes isn't enough for buyers or eBay in general. Nature of the beast.

Stop reading that forum!!! Would you rather have a sale or the feedback?
Tips of getting feedback include leaving FB as soon as you can for the buyer...withholding FB is never a good idea

+1, I leave feedback for a buyer as soon as they pay. Their job is complete at that point and sellers who withhold feedback until receiving positive feedback get moved down my list of one's to purchase from.

So much for return customers in their auctions.

As a new seller, you are looking for customers. I wouldn't block the only customers you've found so far. Most people sell cards as their collection focus shifts or to turn a profit, not necessarily to obtain feedback. As plenty of others have mentioned, 1) provide excellent customer service 2) respond timely to questions 3) ship timely and package the items in a secure manner and the feedbacks will begin to roll in. It is very common to receive feedback weeks after the actual transaction occurs.
As a seller I leave feedback as soon as they pay.
Why sellers do not leave feedback for buyer unless they do first is beyond me.
Sellers should ALWAYS leave feedback first.
As a seller I dislike immensely the whole 5 star rating system. I find it antiquated and unnecessary.
How can you be either satisfied or unsatisfied with communication?
How can an item be neither accurate or inaccurate or extremely accurate even? Depending on what you're selling, it is what it is!
If your package arrives in the time window,it was neither slowly or quickly therefore 3 STARS!
How can shipping charges be neither reasonable or unreasonable? They either are or aren't. So 3 Stars shouldn't exist!
A person I turned on to eBay leaves these following stars back on purchases as he starts from one star(most count from one to five);
How accurate was the item description? 4 STARS
How satisfied were you with the seller's communication? 4 STARS
How quickly did the seller ship the item? 3 STARS
How reasonable were the shipping and handling charges? Either 1,2,4 or 5 STARS
By this logic you would not be an above standard seller and therefore not qualify for any discount and probably have eBay halt your selling!
This five star method of deciding YOUR selling future should never have been implemented and should be done away with immediately!
