game the
system by not giving feedback.



There's a better way to handle that situation - for "unmatched"
feedbacks - make the one-sided feedback visible after 90 days - then
all can see it - PLUS it's too late for retaliatory feedback...

That is better! Now if we could just get ebay to implement the change...

I've always found ebay to be very responsive to the demands of its
users. I dont necessarily agree with Randy's solution but there are
people smarter than me making these decisions.
The crapola about it going to hell in a handbag from a clown that has
used ebay two times several years ago is unfounded.
ebay is well obliged to a zillion member user base. Old timey hardware
store methodology is passé.
I don't know how that translates to the credit card of a brother-in-law
of a girlfriend that was used by OP wound up getting
hacked...whatever. You call the 800 number of the card and thats the
end of that. Its 2004.
As much as one should recognize the threats of online purchasing one
should also understand/learn the remedies if a deal goes bad.
