Some thoughts about retaliatory feedback.
eBay probably won't do anything, but ultimately, they are going to have to
improve their feedback system. If people become afraid to leave negative
feedback for fear of retaliatory feedback (and I have seen a few sellers who
ask you not to bid in their auctions if you have ANY negative feedback - but
then maybe you don't care about those jerks), the feedback becomes useless.
A reasonable person should check out the feedback of anyone who has left a
suspicious looking comment. Most retaliatory negative feedbacks are
suspicious, but sometimes it does become clear that the original negative
feedback was undeserved. You can usually tell if the person you are about to
interact with has earned the negative feedbacks or not. I tend not to bid if
the seller has deserved negative feedback.
