<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 153927, member: 1674&quot;]I certainly don&#039;t begrudge a seller witholding feedback, it reduces significantly the amount of shenanigans that they have to deal with from less than honorable buyers.&nbsp; You sound like a decent guy who would deal honestly with a seller even after receiving positive feedback, but I can assure you that you are in the minority.&nbsp; For every guy like you there are 2 guys who would think nothing of sticking it to a seller who made the mistake of leaving feedback upon receipt of the payment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t get me wrong, I think the eBay feedback sysstem is seriously flawed, but I don&#039;t think it will be changing anytime soon.&nbsp; And because of that I understand the seller&#039;s need to protect themselves from the unscrupulous.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also I disagree with your contention that &quot;your part of the transaction is done once you&#039;ve paid&quot;.&nbsp; First, what if your payment method fails (bounced check, credit card chargeback, Paypal problems that could suspend your payment, etc.)?&nbsp; Also, what if you choose to return the coin (under the seller&#039;s stated return policy?&nbsp; In that case you would need to return the coinin a timely manner in the same condition you received it, and if you didn&#039;t you certainly wouldn&#039;t qualify for positive feedback, but if the seller jumped the gun and left feedback too soon he&#039;d be stuck with an undeserved neg because the buyer (or non-buying, time-wasting bidder) could get away with it.</p><p><br /></p><p>We haven&#039;t even begun to discuss the con-man who get his positive feedback and then emails to say, &quot;the coin isn&#039;t as nice as you said it was, i want a refund (or partial refund) or I&#039;ll leave you negative feedback!&quot;&nbsp; Just be aware that while some scuzzy sellers use feedback as a way to blackmail their buyers into leaving positives, there are at least as many scuzzy buyers doing the same thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
