<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1663846, member: 24633"]Paddy, the problem with the "old" seller feedback system was that there were too many "less than reputable" sellers who used the feedback like a sword hanging over the buyer's head. Buyers were told outright in listings that the seller would provide positive feedback only after the buyer provided positive feedback. This always infuriated me because if you pay promptly, your obligation to the seller has been met, fully. It is at that point that the seller should provide feedback even though the item may still be in transit. Basically, it was these lowlife sellers who brought this whole mess about feedback to a head.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree that seller feedback should never have been eliminated. Rather, FleaBay should have warned all sellers that they were not allowed to use feedback to coerce buyers into leaving positive feedback for them. As it is now, you're right! Sellers haven't much in the way of protection against deadbeat buyers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
