<p>[QUOTE=&quot;claycad, post: 1166605, member: 17987&quot;]I was a buyer for years before deciding to sell. As a seller you cannot leave negative feedback for a buyer. You have the option to leave positive feedback or to leave feedback later or to report a problem with a buyer. I suppose if they don&#039;t pay you, they give you an option to leave negative feedback. I haven&#039;t had any trouble with receiving money yet, but once they pay you can&#039;t leave negative feedback (which why would you, you got your money, they fulfilled their part of the deal). When I was only a buyer I never cared if a seller left me feedback or not, but now that I am a seller I know the importance of it. Most people who only buy probably don&#039;t care about their rating. You can buy an item regardless. So holding their feedback &quot;hostage&quot; until they leave you feedback probably don&#039;t matter to them anyway, so there is no reason to do that. But if you have less than 100 feedbacks as a seller many people will be hesitant to buy from you even if you have 100% positive. There are far more buyers than sellers on ebay and people who never sell anything or never plan to sell might not realize how important the color of that star is beside your username. I wish you couldn&#039;t delete an item until you left feedback for it, that way buyers might atleast leave feedback to clear their list of items bought. </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess you do take your chances though. I wish everyone was honest and fair but it doesn&#039;t work that way. Still, atleast ebay and paypal try to be fair. I made an order one time with paypal (it wasn&#039;t through ebay but a website that used paypal) and I never received my order. After several weeks of no order confirmation and not receiving a package I made several attempts to contact the website. Finally I filed a claim with paypal, I guess they couldn&#039;t contact the website either so they refunded my money in full. So atleast by selling though ebay and using paypal you have some reassurance that you won&#039;t get completely scammed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
