I agree with you
guys. Negative feedback is not the "champion of honesty" that some
say. I've had two negative feedbacks left on me recently, and both were
completely retaliatory. One was a buyer who never sent his payment and
then refused to resend (or even discuss the matter). He had obviously
pulled the same thing a few days before, as his feedback profile showed a
negative listing from another seller stating the exact same case. After
more than a month of sending emails which weren't answered, I left his negative
feedback. An hour later, he slammed me by leaving a negative feedback
which stated "don't trust him". This was from a guy who had a feedback
score of (1), 3 positive and 2 negative. The other was from a seller who
misrepresented the brand of the item I purchased. When the seller
refused to respond to three weeks of emails, I left a NEUTRAL feedback for
her. Later that night, she (you guessed it) stuck me with a negative
feedback stating that I never tried to contact her. (She received all the
other emails I sent her immedaitedly after the auction though...)
I've bought and sold Forwardlook parts on eBay since 1998 and these two
negative feedbacks took me down to 98.8% (feedback score of (221)). Still,
despite the fear that some have of the retaliatory strike, I refuse to let
someone scare me out of posting the truth by threatening to "leave a negative on
you too". It's a tricky business at best!

On the subject of EBay feed back I
sell on EBay and can tell you also that negative feed back is left a lot for
no reason or just to post it !! My feed back is great and the
negative ones I do have are all from people that buy things and or never pay
for items. Take the last negative feed back I received from a
buyer. He claimed the item was damaged the photos did not show the
damage ECT. Well the box was packed and shipped and insured but
the buyer never contacted me about any thing and when I asked him for a photo
of the item or return it and I will refund there was still no reply.
This was all done after he left negative feed back. SO please check more
than the negative feed back look up ID changes, how long was the seller
selling total items sold every month and things like that. I just wanted
to tell my personal experience
