I guess I've been pretty lucky over the years, having had very few really bad transactions on eBay, and none of them recently.
However, on November 30th, I used the BIN option to buy a jersey from a Seller with the screen name 'shakespearerufus". An automatic confirmation message gave an estimated delivery date of Dec. 5th. So, when the 9th rolled around, I did the "Ask the seller a question thing", and when I selected "Where's my item?", I was directed into some kind of eBay complaint/mediation program. I stated that I still wanted my item, and was told that if I had not received either the item or a good explanation from the Seller by the 13th, I was to let eBay know and they would deal with it. At no time have I EVER heard directly from the Seller.
At this point, I'm pretty well resigned to the fact that I'm not going to get my jersey. My question is regarding feedback. I definitely want to leave this jerk negative feedback, primarily to warn off other potential buyers/suckers, but I don't want to receive retaliatory feedback from HIM, obviously. I seem to recall hearing several years ago that Sellers were no longer permitted to give negative feedback to Buyers, or something like that. What's the true story?
