IMHO, The feedback system is a major problem on Ebay, and an opportunity for
someone with a better system to take a lot of Ebay's business. I think since
Ebay owns paypal, they should be able to link the timeliness of the payment
to the auction, and that the seller shouldn't be able to leave negative
feedback if the buyer paid on time. For that matter, an automatic
"positive-paid on time" feedback could be generated by the system and
applied to the buyer's account. Then additional feedback could be left by
the seller, but at least you'd know the guy pays on time.
Plus, the whole "private bidder" thing just allows a seller to bid on his
own auctions without repercussion, and without anyone being able to track it
down - like one particular bidder always seems to bid on a particular
seller's auctions, but never wins, etc.

100% true Mark. I would most likely get a neg in return. And there should be
a way to block getting a non-warranted neg from someone.

I think that is one of the biggest problems with Ebay. If Tim leaves him a
negative, the seller will leave Tim one back. I have had a few people just
never respond, or pay for items. I went throught the proper channels at
Ebay and got my listing fees back, left a negative and got one in return. I
think there should be a way to block any retalitory feedback if you can
prove the buyer never paid.
