Yeah, good luck getting them to enforce that rule. Referring back to my thread in this same forum entitled "Classic eBay Story" in which I showed eBay that my buyer NEVER paid the correct amount, but by gosh, I've got the negative feedback for never sending the items. Numerous emails and phone calls resulted in eBay shrugging their shoulders and looking the other direction. So, I say, if you're the winning bidder, you paid the full amount, and they won't send the items, leave the negative feedback.

Dan, I understand your terrible experience, but I believe if a buyer threatens negative feedback if you do not make them happy the feedback can be removed.

Joel,
I certainly don't mean to sound argumentative, but that is exactly what the buyer did to me. He started sending me emails telling me he had not received the bats and that he would be leaving negative feedback, even though he never paid the correct amount for them. I forwarded all of the emails to eBay with the full headers, they responded with some canned email that basically said "Sorry, no violation occurred." So while he never sent an email that said "If you don't reduce your shipping charges from what you stated they were in the auction that I bid on and won, I will leave negative feedback", that is exactly what he did. Count me among those that have lost faith in the "system" part of eBay. It is so skewed to the buyers side, I will never sell on there again.
