Iggy... Okay, since I'm still trying to comprehend this new feedback policy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears from a "sellers" standpoint, it's in my best interest "NOT" to leave my positive feedback until after positive feedback is left for me. I know that statement doesn't make any sense, since by not leaving feedback beforehand you might incur the wrath of a ticked-off buyer. But, here is how I'm ciphering this feedback policy.
You see, if I feel a buyer has been dishonest and leaves me an unjustified negative. My only recourse is to click on the "report a problem with this transaction" link via eBay. Well, this link is only available on the feedback menu. Once you leave your positive feedback (for the buyer) the link is gone and you cannot get it back. I suppose, you can send an email directly to eBay explaining the situation, but by leaving positive feedback beforehand, you will have a little tougher time justifying your case in front of an entity that keeps placing more and more of the burden on the seller. Plus, if you lose your case (as most will), you provided a positive to a knucklehead buyer who didn't deserve it.
Lovely Day, Iggy...
