i would like to see buyer feedback everywhere the buyer's username appears on the site.
the buyer % rating only shows up when they purchase something, but i'd like to be able to view it when i click on their username, or after their username when i view my feedback as a seller.

While this is indeed nice from the perspective of gauging feedback weight, I think it's a security risk. Showing LE the largest buyers would only encourage targeted attacks on those usernames, such as bruteforce attacks, in an effort to compromise both the buyers and sellers involved.
Risks like these have me constantly swapping accounts.
IMO, the real solution to this is to weight feedback *slightly* by buyer experience when calculating the number next to the seller's name. This will also prevent sellers from doing the "one-shot .01 BTC feedback buy with new accounts" deal on themselves.
Also, the price of the item should be shown in the feedback mouseover, preferably in USD (or as your preferences allow). This will also help stop the above.

valid points, but seller feedback is always visible and i would think LE is more concerned with sellers than buyers.

I think that the best solution is making a ranking for buyers, without showing their names. Like Feedback (0-100, like sellers rank). The ranking on buyers would work by the feedback that they give, for example, if i write an feedback, everyone can give a +1 or a -1. The problem with this kind of ranking would be a kid giving +1 or -1 to every feedback, so we need a moderator on this, one that has access on the name of the voter, and can see how many votes he gave. We are small, only one moderator can do this.
Peace and Love

Avatar's idea is okay, but I'd rather not have my username posted with how many items I've bought. Hence why I only buy and don't sell.
