<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RaceBannon, post: 1205346, member: 25357&quot;]Since 2008, a seller cannot leave negative feedback for a buyer.&nbsp; Ever.&nbsp; I quote from eBay&#039;s own feedback policy:</p><p>&quot;Sellers can leave only positive ratings for buyers. That means buyers should feel free to leave honest Feedback without fear of retaliation. We also have <a href="http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/new.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/new.html" rel="nofollow">safeguards in place to protect sellers</a> against unfair negative or neutral Feedback. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This policy obviates the benefit of &quot;holding a buyer hostage&quot; by not submitting feedback until feedback is left.&nbsp; As a seller, you can&#039;t retaliate for a negative feedback, with another negative feedback.&nbsp; Yes, this puts the onus on the seller to try and do everything within his/her power to ensure a smooth transaction.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As a buyer I appreciate this policy.&nbsp; As a seller, I embrace it and try and do everything within my power to ensure a smooth transaction.&nbsp; I&#039;ve found most buyers to be reasonable people, I always offer a refund if they are unhappy.&nbsp; Nobody has left a negative feedback yet.&nbsp; Is this policy slightly biased towards the buyers? yes.&nbsp; Has it done more to weed out dishonest sellers than it has hurt honest ones? we can&#039;t say for sure, but I would bet my next paycheck that the answer is yes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
