Quote:If it ever becomes a problem all you have to do is explain to the seller.
That's not necessarily true either; I've received a negative feedback before from a seller, who took over three weeks to ship my item and charged me for a recycled box, after I left him negative feedback for my experience. This was after hours and hours of failed communication of the course of several days.
Ebay can take away the option to give negative feedback to buyers from sellers so long as they do something to the 'buyers' who don't pay. Bidding on an item on ebay is a LEGAL CONTRACT. Ebay should be obligated to do something to non-paying bidders other than just canceling their accounts if they get too many complaints (because the damage has already been done by then).
