JFTR, virtually all eBay transactions involving "power sellers" and
anyone else with multiple hundreds of transactions or more have the
seller witholding feedback until the BUYER has provided feedback. I
call this "hostage feedback" - it's the seller's way of ensuring that
they'll get positive feedback from buyers who may be disappointed with
the transaction, but would also just as soon NOT get a negative on
their own record


Ebay changed the feedback procedure and rules so this can no longer be
done. This was done quite a while ago-maybe 4 years.

"Sellers can leave only positive ratings for buyers. That means buyers
should feel free to leave honest Feedback without fear of retaliation. We
also have safeguards in place to protect sellers against unfair negative or
neutral Feedback."

The whole thing he http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/feedback.html
