I went to that URL and the fifth section no longer contains that text. The only
relevant rule seems to be the following:
5.5 Manipulation. Neither bidders nor sellers may manipulate the
price of any item nor may you interfere with other user's
listings or auctions.
In my opinion, if the reading of this rule is to prohibit feedback of the
nature Larry described, then it would also prohibit any feedback, since all
feedback obviously affects the success of a seller's listings and auctions.
It also says at the top of the page that the user agreement came into effect on
Sep. 27th, or Oct. 27th (depending on the situation) so it seems likely your
clause was removed on purpose.
