There needs to be checks and balances, if I can't leave negative feedback, but i can recieve it, I'm not going to sell.
With this new policy buyers can abuse sellers with impunity, and there is nothing the seller can do.
I have only recieved 2 negatives, and both were retaliatory. This isn't right, but it at least shows the character of both seller and buyer.
The first one the seller refunded my money, and refused payment, then tried to report me as a non paying bidder to get his E-bay fees back, I later found out that he had recieved a higher offer, and just didn't end the listing in time. He is no longer a member, but i'm still stuck with the negative.
On the second one my item never arrived, I tried everything even squaretrade, and the seller refused to respond until he saw that i had left negative. and his response was to retaliate.

I think if you look through many of the ebay related posts here on SRP and B&B you will find many guys just itching to leave a negative, asking if they should, but have not even contacted the seller to see if a resolution could be reached.
This is where the equality of power is needed as many people simply crave the power of being able to screw someone over. Most people selling razors on ebay are selling them as collectables, not as shave ready tools. If they know anything about them at all it's that people collect them. To them they look fine, a 50 or 100 year old item that is not broken "looks fine" to them. We though want a shaver and in our minds "look fine" means 15 minutes on a stone and we are off for a shave. If not many are right back here feeling ripped off and looking for revenge.
I'm an ebay seller with 1500+ positives, 1 neg and a neutral and no way would I sell anything but a new razor on ebay knowing the reaction they get here.
