Cobby33Negative feedback is a double-edged sword. You want to do a service to others who might deal with this person in the future, but don't want to risk yourself getting retaliatory feedback.
I am especially fond of the folks who wait until you leave feedback before they retaliate. (NOTE: I understand people on this Board use that policy- I am not referring to them, only to those who leave retaliatory feedback). Example- I once bought a card on eBay and paid IMMEDIATELY. The card I received was in horrible condition and the seller was unresponsive. I left a NEUTRAL and that jackass left me a NEGATIVE, even though I paid on time.
As others have said, if you're going to leave negative, wait until eBay has issued their strike (assuming the other party is a buyer), that way, they are prohibited from leaving you negative.
