The eBay FB system is a nasty joke. If you are honest and file negative FB on a
bad seller, you get negative FB back. eBay WILL NOT look at evidence of fraud and
remove negative FB. Been there, done it, got screwed. Names upon request.

I no longer even look at FB. If a seller does a good job, I file positive FB. If
I get cheated, I wait until the time limit for FB expires and then file a mail
fraud complaint with USPS. They are on my side. eBay is on the sellers.

Good concept, stinking execution.

FWIW,
