My opinion is that this allows buyers to hide the fact that they NEVER bother to leave feedback for the sellers from whom they purchase items. What other reason could there be? When feedback is private, which is disallowed for sellers, ALL feedback is inaccessible - including feedback left for others. It simply isn't right. It is yet another point on a long list of how eBay doesn't adequately protect the sellers. Give me the good old days from, I believe, two administrations ago, when eBay understood just WHO it is that built their empire.
