Starting in May, eBay sellers can no longer leave negative or neutral feedback for buyers. Oh yeah, THAT'S a good idea.

Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, I can see the intent - to break the retaliatory negative feedback cycle, which is a big problem on eBay (let's say that, as a buyer, I choose who I bid on stuff from very carefully). On the other hand, there really are some crap buyers out there, and eBay doesn't have any mechanisms in place to stop them. I really think some kind of "Feedback review" process that would let a buyer (or a seller) complain about retaliatory feedback would be a way better solution.

But that would require work on their part...and we can't have that, can we?

Oh no, definitely not!
