I would like to know why seller are forced to lie about unfair buyers?
Why can't Seller leave a fair feedback ( negative for bad/ non payment buyer)?
The Ebay rules force Seller to lie about bad buyer.
EBAY DOESN'T WANT TO LOSE BUYER!!!
Seller are replaceable and Ebay does show this with unequal treatment.

Mentor2 years agoNo seller is forced to lie. Feedback is entirely voluntary, and any seller can choose not to leave feedback if the seller does not wish to leave positive feedback.
eBay found that when sellers were allowed to leave negative feedback for buyers, some sellers would use the threat of retaliatory negative feedback to discourage buyers from leaving well-deserved negatives for those sellers, or some sellers were leaving negative feedback for buyers and using the "mutual withdrawal" procedure to get otherwise well-deserved negatives removed.
This made the entire feedback system less effective for pointing out which sellers were not delivering what they described, which was the primary purpose of the feedback system. So eBay removed the capability to leave non-positive feedback for buyers in 2008.
