Sorry but you are assuming that the buyer will keep the item, isnt going to make some kind of ridiculous claim that the item isnt as described, isnt going to make a total refund paypal claim, etc. If a seller leaves a postive feedback before the buyer does, he has no recourse to unfair negative feedback and some buyers will try to make outrageous demands or threaten to give a negative FB ( without any risk to their own feedback, if you gave them a premature postive before the transaction was completed).
Now you may ask, why couldnt the seller take advantage of the buyer after the buyer has left a positive feedback first, well, I guess they could leave a negative after a buyer left a positive, but I have never heard of such a thing ever on ebay and I have been doing ebay for over 10 years and I have seen all kinds of crazy stuff going on there. How psycho could a seller be to leave a buyer negative after a buyer left him a positive first? THAT would really be sick. jco -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of William Robb Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 7:50 PM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT- eBay ----- Original Message ----- From: "J.

I'm not following your logic (not surprising). What you are saying is that it doesn't matter that the buyer completes the transaction in good faith? If I pay, it shouldn't matter if you screw up your end, I've still completed my end of the transaction. The feedback mechanism allows sellers to reply to feedback if they feel so inclined.
