There are a lot more undesirable buyers than there are undesirable sellers.
Relinquishing the item puts the responsibility of "first feedback" onto the recipient of that item. Possession of the object is permanent, and unless paid for with cash, fed wire or postal MO*, the funding may be challenged for up to several months in some instances. If paid for cash, fed wire or postal MO, the seller should leave immediate feedback.
Needless to say....I didn't have to read the above to know that I should just send them the item and wait until they get change.
* Postal Money Order - these may be challenged but people are less likely to play games directly with the government.
