Please explain lack of negative feedback now.

Been ebaying foa few years now and luckily had no problems.
Last week thoughhavehad 2 non payers. Real pain.

Problem is- you can no longer leave neg feedback- so how is anyone supposed to know who is a good or bad buyer, or seller?

I have referred both to the resolution centre but nothing will show on their feedback totals.

They will get an unpaid strike.
I have mentioned in + feedback that buyer didn't pay! Only gets seen if feedback is checked by another buyer/seller but at least it is there. Agree it is a stupid rule though.

But where is the unpaid strike seen?

It isn't, except by Ebay.

This is why I tell buyers 'please leave feedback so I know you have received the item', and then if they become a pain I could leave 'positive' feedback in capitals saying whatever factual info.

I've been lucky so far.

Have you ever left "positve" feedback which is in fact negative and has them give you neg in return?

I don't leave feedback until the buyer has. I like to know the item has arrived and is OK before i do feedback.
