They don't know that you've got the item and are happy with it. As far as they're concerned, the transaction is still ongoing. It would be a bit daft to leave feedback before the transation was completed, you'll agree?
How do they know you're not going to be an unreasonable cunt about your item being lost in the mails?
How do they know you're not going to leave hysterical negative feedback because the item, though exactly as advertised, was not what you were expecting?
There's more to being a good eBay buyer than just paying quickly.
Once you leave your positive feedback, they'll know you're not going to be some insane nusiance bidder, and they'll give you positive feedback.
I don't think I've ever left anyone negative feedback, but, then again, no one has ripped me off via eBay (knocks on wood). I've left neutral a couple of times when the seller couldn't be bothered to actually write my address on the package correctly... resulting in the items vanishing into the base mail system for several weeks. I can't remember if I left neutral or negative on a "NEW" CD that was scratched to hell when I got it... I think it was neutral just because it was still rippable and I was happy to have it.
Leave informative feedback comments... or at least entertaining ones. "Seller will not harsh all over your mellow." You might want to note the actual shipping cost of the item compared to what the seller charged. Don't be one of those "FAST PAYMENT!!! RECOMMENDED BUYER!!! A++++++++++" people.
