"If you left feedback for someone, the person can respond to your feedback. If the person leaves a response, you have an opportunity to leave a follow-up comment. This is as far as the dialog can take place within a single block of feedback."

If you view your feedback left, find the one you are looking for, with the other parties' comment. There will be a little envelope to the right of his reply. Click on it to respond to his reply.

HCQ - go to the feedback forum and get into "see feedback I've left". Scroll to the comment and click on the little envelope to the right of the comment.

At the top of your feedback page there is a link that says "Respond To Comments." If you need to leave a follow-up in the other person's feedback file, go to the Site Map and click on "See Feedback You've Left For Others."

Well I just got a shock.
I left a seller a neg a couple months ago. I deliberately never went back because this seller would leave very nasty responses to anyone who left a neg and very frankly, to read a response would have made me feel bad. This is a powerseller.
Fast forward a few weeks and I come across a thread on a not ebay related board warning people specifically about this seller. Person after person after person post about how they were ripped off. I add my tale of woe.
Then I get to thinking, and ready HCQ's thread and decide to face whatever comment was left after my feedback. I planned to leave a response "email for details" and I would be able to provide a link to this other board if anyone was to write and ask.
Well I can't do it. See, my feedback has evaporated into thin air. It ain't there! Where did it go? It was non offensive - only provided information. All I can think is that it was left after 30 days had passed, but this was because It took me 45 to get the goods!
Needless to say, I am pretty disgusted. As a buyer you are simply powerless and insignificant and transacting with a powerseller and a problem occurs.
Oh, and for the record, this seller had 42 negs in 6 weeks under a second id. I wonder how many he REALLY had.

The current loophole being taken advantage of is the "obscenity" one. If you left a factual negative and he responded with a horrible nasty remark, and "somebody" came across that remark and pointed it out to eBay, your feedback would end up being removed as well as the nasty followup. It's a buglet that they were working on; might have fixed it within the last month or so, I'm not sure.
