I believe Lyndal was referring to the removal, making the system of feedback a mockery.
Not the actual feedback.
Why would you give your money to someone who has hundreds of negatives saying that their item hasn't arrived, or that it is junk, and that the seller doesn't give a hoot?
And that's why negative fb should stay.
That's where the feedback system is helpful.

If a seller has negs, it can be assumed that a high percentage of unhappy buyers have left feedback. If the seller conforms to the norm, it is fair to assume they only receive feedback for less than half of their transactions.
So the figures are skewed. For fb% and defect purposes, I think ALL transactions should be used, with no feedback left counting as positive (after 60 days) for calculations.
It was only a week or so ago somebody came onto the boards boasting about not leaving feedback for sellers unless there was a 'problem' with the transaction, in which case it was/would be neutral or negative.

For my handful of purchases on eBay, I had a fairshare of problems but I always tried to work it out with sellers and don't remember leaving any neg fb. This time it's only a neutral since the seller did not honour the transaction for I took the advice given on this board to other members and refused to pay the expensive postage option (first option x 3) so she could have the delivery confirm and insurance on the item.
Am I being unfair? I don't think so!
After that I received a FALSE pos fb from her and emails calling me 'shoddy' and laughed at me for putting my trust in the fainess of the system.

Sorry, my reply was to fixnwear, not you, Kau.
If you didn't pay for the purchase, then fb can't be left.
As simple as that.
I understand that the seller wanted extra for postage after the sale, but if the sale didn't go through, then it wasn't a sale.
The false positive has been removed by ebay
edit: I see the seller was in the USA. Maybe she didn't post to Australia and needed
the extra postage for overseas tracking?

They obviously didn't want to sell to you, for whatever reason.
But if she refunded you, then it was a non-sale.
Hence the removal of fb
