Hidden feedback means the seller probably has less than
stellar opinions of what he's selling. But I do know of one
seller with 100% positive who also uses hidden feedback.
So not sure what ALL the motivations might be. Clearly
some folks just don't like the whole feedback system.

Personally, I think Ebay should make it so you couldn't
post feedback for 30 days after an auction closes. That
way the two parties could 'work things out' if the deal went
south. Also should be able to change your words or rating.
I don't see why they make such a big deal of the permanence
of comments. If they have to be set in stone, then at least
make it 30 days before they can be written so that tempers
can calm.

Hi, all concerned:

Saw a listing the other day in which the term "hidden' feedback was used.
IIRC, the seller was touting a boatanchor.

Searched ebay policy for references, none found.

Anyone have an explanation, pls?

TIA & 73, Dave, N3HE
