I just had negative feedback I left for a seller who didn't respond to my request for a refund until after I left the feedback . I now see the feedback has just vanished .This is the first time it has happened to me in 20 years or so of trading on eBay but I gather from this forum it is now quite common which seems a bit strange from a company that frequently promotes itself as looking after the interests of buyers.To my mind the idea of leaving negative feedback is not so much to punish the seller but to forewarn future buyers of possible problems with a seller . If negative feedback is removed then buyers can come to the mistaken conclusion they have nothing to be careful about . A long time ago for reasons best known to itself eBay stopped sellers leaving negative feedback about buyers now they seem to be doing the same re sellers. What is the point of allowing feedback if it is going to be manipulated in this manner.
