No one has disputed items are arriving after the feedback window, nor is it what I have questioned - see if you can actually address the point for once - I'll state it again:
The OP claimed the recent situation with delays "...appears to encourage and make it easy for bad sellers.." yet failed to offer any evidence.
This is what they've claimed (without any evidence), you support (without any evidence), and I dispute (argument and evidence laid out already).
If what you claim were really a "no brainer" it should be easy to articulate exactly how forknowledge of possible delays resulting in no feedback can "encourage and make it easy for bad seller" (to do what exactly?).
Keep repeating and rephrasing it all you like, 4channel, but you and the OP have shown nothing to support what you say. Meanwhile there is ample evidence on this very forum of bad buyers taking advantage of the delays and sellers sufering as a result. One only needs to look.
Once again this thread is about the feedback leaving time being shorter or not long enough for buyers. The OP also mentioned that this appears to make it easy and encourage bad sellers. OP has given an account of an items that never delivered and also mentioned another one that hasn't yet arrived. Obviously the OP is concerned. I agree as logic would suggest that bad sellers would have an advantage with the longer waiting times as bad (dishonest) sellers (and there are many theives on eBay) will exploit anything their scheming minds can think of. Other bad sellers who are not dishonest but are either too lazy, arrogant or incompetent to fix their mistakes will also have an advantage here.
Knowing you and what I have observed of you since being here, I believe you have an issue with people (buyers) wanting more than what you think they are entitled to. I also believe that you are trying to veer away from what the OP is concerned about by concentrating mainly one aspect of the OP's lead-in post to the exclusion of the other part and put the discussion on the track that you want. I believe your response is fuelled by the same emotion .... stance .... belief .... call it what ever you want as in the post below.
Is that what we are, whingers? We're not going to leave negatives for sellers if we have to wait longer. We're not going to contribute to a higher proportion of negatives for sellers and we're not beneath you either sir!
BTW: The OP hasn't given any more proof in statistics or reports than you have but experience on eBay since 2002 tells me that the OP's suggestion is valid. And it's a probability!

Yes, you beat me by some months. We were both 18 years younger then. One thing I've learnt in the past 18 years is how important it is not to betray my fellow man and deny / hide from him or her something which could be of benefit.

A man was once asked if he would like to be the new Pied Piper. He said .... "Give me the flute". And instead of putting it to use he snapped it in half and said .... "Now telll me where you'd like it?"
I bet it gets tiring performing all the mental gymnastics that you do in order to convince yourself that 1 + 2 โ 3
I'm sure eBay didn't start removing feedback just for the fun of it! 
Your insinuation about betrayal is nothing more than hyperbole and it's telling that you choose drama and exaggeration over objectivity. By the way, your link is broken.
