This has happened to me. A person said he bought an item just to give me a negative for a friend who I gave a negative to. It was payback. This truly outrageous behavior and what he said in the negative feedback was proven to be a lie to an Ebay supervisor but lies are not a reason to remove a revenge feedback. She called it opinions. Another rep. called it freedom of speech and it doesn't matter if the feedback is true or a lie. Can't believe my ears. What good is the the feedback forum if truth "doesn't matter". That is a quote!!!! Why use a forum where people at Ebay admits knowing stements are lies but you always get the same response "can't do anything about it". They better start doing something or with there falling stock price and millions and millions of members quitting, there won't be an Ebay. People know Ebay does nothing so this promotes feedback abuse and fraud. Feedback is meaningless and not used by countless Ebayer's. If it meant something, I would start using it again but until Ebay cleans up there mess, the feedback forum is like a room of kindergarten kids. One lies, one blames everyone else except themselves, one just makes stuff up, etc.... A seller who get's scammed, ripped off, etc.. can NOT leave a negative. Wow talk about equality out the window. If Ebay doesn't care about truth and honesty in the feedback forum, why should we use it???????
