Hello In my limited experience with e-bay, there is a lot of pressure for the buyer to give a positive rating to a seller. They will absolutely badger you for a rating as soon as the deal is made. And once the rating is made, there is little you can do to reverse it. Additionally, sellers spend a considerable amount of time fighting bad feedbacks. And while they have an incentive to pursue such bureaucracy, buyers have no incentive other than their sense of vindictiveness to waste time on it, especially on smaller purchases. I believe that this is why ebay eventually ended to ability of sellers to give buyers bad ratings. One last thing. Isn't there third party sites that records dealers records? Amanda
I have over 600 positives and 0 negatives. I'm 100% awesome. But eBay doesn't value me because I won't provide a tracking number for every $4 item I sell. eBay is horrible, but sort of has a monopoly, so they do what they want and I pretty much have to comply.
