you gotta be careful about the rating system... I believe it's flawed....

I knew a person who bought some pretty expensive things ($400 bux from ebay)...

Anyways... the auction finishes and my friend paid straight away using bidpay.. (we are talking within the hour)..

What's normally meant to happen is that the buyer has kept his end of the deal (paid the seller). And he did it without hesitation. It is the sellers duty to give the buyer positive feedback.

But the seller didn't.
6 weeks passes, the item hasn't come in. My friend emails the guy and sees whats going on. The guy gives him a beat around the bush story.
"how about feedback" my friend asks. The guy goes "we don't give feedback until you give feedback, it's our policy".

If my mate gives the guy negative feedback, he gets one too. Now that's just plain blackmail. My mate keeps keeping his fingers cross that the item comes in. It doesn't. 3 months has passed and he can't give the seller feedback anymore (expiry).

The seller probably ripped about a million peple off before, but uses this tactic for his %100 positive feedback status..

pretty gay hey.
I can't believe how unmoral people can be.
