... and if it didn't get some people all twitched up, I wouldn't bother with it at all. I do, however, post positive feedback for every seller who concludes a transaction satisfactorily (though right now I am WAY behind doing so).

On the other hand, I have completed more than 100 purchases for which I received no feedback at all, despite my feedback for the sellers. I have never asked for feedback or written to complain about not getting it. I just don't care (does a retail store expect you to write a letter of congratuations every time you make a successful purchase?).

eBay took most of the value out of negative feedback when they limited it to completed transactions. Means no one can post negative feedback about such things as fraudulent or deceptive auction descriptions. ----- jim o\-S
