I get feedback from buyers on about 50% of my transactions.  I agree that
retaliatory negative feedback is a serious problem with ebay's system,
though. I have one from a guy who they eventually kicked off the site for
scamming people, but they didn't remove the negative feedback he left.

I will think twice in the future before leaving negative feedback for
someone who has scammed me, because I know I'll get my feedback rating
dinged if I do.  Might be better to just walk away.
