It is hard to come up with a perfect Feedback system but Ebay should try to follow Yahoo's example. I do not like to give out negative feedback but feel it is important and not only for other sellers, but for myself I want to know who the good and bad bidders are. I recently left a poor (negative) comment due to lack of response to emails and seemingly unwillingness of a bidder to follow through. Today I received an email apology and money has now been sent message so I went back in and left a Good comment (hopefully not jumping the gun, but anxious to do away any damage to this person's profile if no longer necessary) and it took away the minus and jumped the persons number of positive transactions back up to where it would have been before I left the "poor". Ebay has this foolish notion that negatives should almost never be removable, even if the person who left them decides it was in haste. The only cases I have ever heard of Ebay removing them is when there is profainity in them. Just another reason why Yahoo can eventually beat out Ebay when people wake up and see what we have for free here.
