[78-L] Ebay feed back being held as hostage by sellers!!

[Tom]

Ebay has instituted new procedures that prevent sellers from leaving negative feedback for buyers.
 
I buy stuff occasionally on ebay and if, as was recently the case, the seller is sloppy and the item arrives damaged and uninsured (after I'd paid to have the item shipped insured, mind you) and if a subsequent exchange of emails leaves the issue unresolved, I don't hesitate to leave negative feedback.

I just received this email from a seller.

He is holding my feed back as hostage until I leave him good feed back.

His ebay ID is   firebirdologist



This was his message to me:



Hi!



It's on the way today! Thank you again for your purchase. I will

happily post positive feedback for this transaction if I receive the

same.



All the best,



Randy



This will be my reply:



Randy,

Many people that I speak with are starting to feel as if feed back from the
seller is being withheld as a hostage. 

Because of this I am joining a growing group that only leaves feed back for
sellers that first leaves it for the buyer.

My part is over, if you fail to leave me feedback then so be it.

You may also thank your fellow

 sellers that practice the same method that you are trying on me now. 

Thank you Bill



Please

stand with me on this issue, when you get a seller that fails to send

feed back for you. Please send him a similar message and do what you

would like with his feed back.



Thank you  Bill
