   It's wrong... even with excluding my and your friend's problem and   
   Ebay being unfair with the feedback (for example today I saw a guy who   
   got a negative ACCIDENTALLY as the buyer gave positive comments yet   
   clicked the button marked negative accidentally.... it STILL counted   
   towards his feedback for a negative and lowered his score; that's   
   UNFAIR).   
      
   Think of it this way. ... you now can't even give a neutral because a   
   neutral is now a negative!  For example, I received a book today that   
   took three weeks to get here.  It WAS media mail and I left the guy a   
   positive, but that's a long time still.  A less patient person may   
   have left a neutral.  My friend once had a newbie leave him a negative   
   three days after an auctions end because they did not receive the item   
   right away.  Back at that time, first class mail or priority was 2-3   
   days, so end of day three, he got a bad feedback!  The box arrived the   
   next day due to no fault of my friend and he was penalized for that.   
   People are jerks sometimes; so now you can't even be honest.   
      
   And get this.  Someone can rip off a bunch of people on large items   
   and have not all bad feedback but say sold 20 items (18 of them small   
   and two LARGE $ items...) and ripped the two large amounts off as a   
   scam.  In a matter of months, his record is expunged and he's free to   
   do it all over again.  You will now see MORE ripping off.  Today a   
   friend had his raised too just like yours had (he had 2 negatives,   
   about 13-15 months ago).   
      
   Some people are happy and some not.  What bugs me the most is neutrals   
   are negative???????? Isn't a neutral neither good nor bad?  Doesn't   
   that mean whatever the problem was was resolved somewhat?  So nobody   
   got ripped off then.  So why does it count against you?  Am I the only   
   one upset about this?  Ridiculous in my opinion.   
      
   I would never sell on Ebay anymore anyway.  It's just toooooo   
   expensive and Ebay doesn't resolve problems, confirm addresses and do   
   what is needed.  It's a poor place now for sales and now apparently to   
   buy too.
