    Indeedy i'm sure it is. If you've had a buyer giving you grief, not paying for ages... being rude to you then i would perhaps want to leave neutral or negative but we dont have the option anymore. Not all bad but some situations where it would be better to be able to leave "non-positive" feedback!

    Feedback is meaningless just hit them with an NPB.

    Classic example of a more experienced user trying to bully a less experienced one.

    Leave your negative, the seller can not leave one for you. You can not be charged back.

    The seller can't leave you neg in this transaction, however I was "lucky " enough to deal with a seller who informed me he can see I'm a seller as well, and if I leave neg for him, he will buy something off me using his other accounts and will leave neg then. Since then I strictly use one account for buying, one for selling. Thought would share.

    I agree with Kiwi-Fruit, it is always a good idea to have different accounts for both buying and selling, never use the same one.

    A good reason to have a string of low feedback buying accounts - you also have a better chance of getting paypal/ebay money off vouchers!

    Yes - up to 8 ebay accounts can be linked to one paypal account at any one time, but it is easy enough to detach and reattach accounts as needed.
