Got a small Ebay situation to deal with....

[mrmopar]

Ebay will actually jump you for this type of thing. I told a seller I was going to leave negative feedback for an item he didn't ship and shortly thereafter I received an email warning from ebay about feedback extortion or some crap like that. Apparently he had turned me in to ebay.

I ended up leaving a negative and he was able to get it removed and I was out the money and the card!

And yes, there is no retaliation options for sellers anymore. They can't leave negative feedback for buyers. They can only file a non-payer claim for a deadbeat buyer, which is really the only way a buyer can underperform, other than delay a payment. I love the rule, because there were plenty of spiteful, crappy sellers who openly retaliated for deserved negatives.
