G'day , the way ebay has set up feedback is open to abuse and is being abused , in particular I refer to the seller holding the buyer to ransom by with holding their feedback until after the buyer has received the goods and left their feedback ... ie. some days after the seller has completed their side of the transaction , once the buyer has paid for the goods + the seller has sent them , that is when from their perspective the deal is finished and when they should be leaving their feedback ... not days/weeks later , and not after the buyer . this system is open to + encourages the buyers to try and extort 5 stars when may well be not warranted. I hope ebay close this loophole promptly , thanks , mal

The only loop hole in the feed back system is....when ebay decided that sellers can NO longer leave neut/neg feed back for buyers.....and I'm talking about buyers (can't really call them that) who DON't pay or communicate!! Not to mention the HUGE increase in non paying buyers once this stupid new system came into play.....do you think so many idiots would NOT pay if they were still able to receive warranted negative feed back???

What really makes me laugh is when I leave feed back ebay says "thank you for leaving the ebay community safe and informed" HA HA how can it be safe and informed when it is all one sided!!??
