I believe that giving a Positive feedback( a seller) but with a negitive type of comment is also not within the rules of e-bay and the seller can be dinged if the buyer brings up the issue. I would search for the reference in ebay but it is so damn hard to find specific items for me as many are hidden. I usually just ask my friend with 18K feedbacks, where to find it.

You're correct. I could care less really and was simply giving an example regarding the topic of the thread. If things like that worked my up I'd never get anything done. That said, I have never received negative feedback by any stretch and gave it on one occasion when three weeks went by and I didn't receive what I paid for. Weeks went by and I finally got my money returned. As buyer it really doesn't matter about feedback but on the flip side having negative ratings as a seller can really impact your sales. Most don't dabble enough to see that but I spend quite a bit of time researching before I sell for various reasons but the most important is that I don't put an item up when there are many others of the same recently or at the same time. I often see sellers with good stuff get dirt money for something and it can only be attributed to their negative feedback ratings seeing their items are well presented. Long and short of it is....you get out of it what you put in as is the case with most things.

Now I am really confused......................
