OMG!!! My victims?!?!?!?! I have gotten 2 negs in 6 years and have left about a dozen and prolly twice as many neutrals.

You mention that I have somehow usurped "your god given right" (lmfao, are you serious?) to be able to leave feedback last. You have no such right, god given or constitutionally. Try being a seller instead of buyer on eBay and after you start getting negatives after leaving positives, tell whether or not you are still going to keep leaving feedback first.

The transaction is never complete until the customer is happy. Why would anyone leave feedback on a transaction that is not complete. Leaving feedback after payment is made is just asking for trouble. You have no idea if the person is going to try and claim you sold a fake or pull some other stunt. Until I know that customer happy, I am not going to leave them feedback.

As a buyer, once I get my item and am happy with it I immediately leave feedback. I don't expect sellers to leave me feedback just because I made a prompt payment. There is more to the transaction then that.

As to your question, how many retaliatory negs have I left? I have left exactly zero 'retaliatory' feddbacks. The 2 people that left me negs did so after I had left negs when I had exhausted all possible avenues of correcting the situation. Amazingly, both of these guys tried pulling the same stunt, claiming fake, excess damage, etc, yet refusing to return the items for a full refund yet threatening law suits, bodily harm, etc. The one guy got his account suspeneded for 30 days and lost his ISP at the time becuase of his threats made to me. You'd be surprised at the number of people that try to pull stunt,and almost always when I got a a really good deal to begin with. Most of them just go away when you offer a full refund if they return the card.
