It maybe so, but it is not obvious to me and I will not jump into any conclusions, unless the seller comes forward and clearly states that was the real cost - the reason for negative feedback. What I find astonishing is how quickly we resort to leaving negative feedback without communication. I have no doubt that some of the sellers would be doing the same for the buyers, if eBay allowed it. Due to Internet use, we have lost our ability to communicate and make peace, resolve problems and I find that extremely sad. Our expeditions can not always be met and voicing those concerns / problems as they arise, should be our first option. If that does not work, yes, by all means leave negative feedback, if it is deserved. Often it is our perception that justifies the means and that causes a lot of anxiety amongst the eBay sellers today. I'm certain that most of the people that ever sold anything on eBay would agree with that.
