The extortion has been ongoing for _years_!
The ID I use on eBay for almost all of my purchases only has ~90 feedbacks
due specifially to the fact that I fully expect to receive feedback the
minute my money comes over the seller's transom.
I pride myself in normally sending payment within minutes of the end of an
auction and I should receive feedback reflecting that without having to wait
for the seller to first see what I might have to say about their sale
process or the item.
I won't leave feedback for a seller who hasn't left feedback for me _first_.
If they never get around to leaving me any feedback, I couldn't care less.
My purchase account would be up in the mid 300s if all the sellers I've
dealt with had left me timely feedback.
Regards,
James
