OTOH . . . I've been an eBay buyer and seller since July '98 with 100% positive rating of 450 on 526 feedbacks ("dankephoto".) I treat my buyers as I would wish to be treated and they've reciprocated in kind.
As a seller I _always_ leave positive feedback once the item has shipped. The buyer has done their part by paying, else why would I have shipped the item? If the buyer has a problem with the item, I make it right based on my guarantee of satisfaction, rather than an implied threat based on so-far unleft feedback. Similarly, I never leave feedback for those from whom I've bought until they leave feedback for me. I consider my obligation finished once I've payed, if the seller is too cynical to leave feedback, well then I say they don't need mine. The idea that I'm obligated to be _satisfied_(!!!!) before the seller posts feedback is the height of arrogance on their part. I'm not interested in rewarding such people for their presumption. In response to the OP's question - the seller doesn't have to leave feedback, and nor do you. If you feel they have not treated you courteously you are entitled to withhold any positive words you otherwise might have written. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
