In that case, I do agree -- that is feedback ransom. I personally would rather never hear that you'll leave feedback after I leave yours. It doesn't mean that much to me. I have a very good feedback record and would certainly hate to have it blemished, but it may and probably will happen. Not every deal has gone smooth and I have left two negs only because the buyer(s) never made contact. It wasn't that they didn't pay for the item(s), they just never contacted me and I believe that future sellers/buyers should know. The total cost for those two items combined was probably ten bucks. Some people wouldn't want to risk getting a neg (or two) in return for such a low cost item(s). Now their holding themself captive, afraid to get a retalliatory neg for telling their side of the deal. Do your best & let the chips fall where they may. Steve B
