[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 342968, member: 4626"]The buyer doesn't pay, open up a complaint, and relist the item, problem solved. Annoying, but you haven't actually lost anything but time, you still have the item in your possesion, you're not out the final value fees (those are refunded) and you're not out the listing fees if you relist it and it sells the second time. Buyers who get too many non-paying complains get NARU'd anyway. No need for negative feedback. Just don't send the item unless and until the buyer pays. Same way a brick and mortar store works... short of shoplifting or robbery the store owner doesn't have to worry about how trustworthy his customers are as he'll just withhold his merchandise until the buyer pays. Taking that into consideration I just don't see the point of buyers having feedback at all. There's already a process to dump the bad apples without the need to brand buyers with negative feedback. Buyers' feedback is already irrelevant... after this change, even more so... and now buyers with legitimate complaints need not fear retalitory feedback. And again, let me reiterate that I find it rediculous that the ones who are giving away their money to buy an item, to someone they don't know and can't even see, have to prove that [I]they[/i] can be trusted.[/QUOTE]
