Negative feedback given but has disappeared

[theoldandthebald]

I gave negative feedback to a seller for what he/she  claimed i have not checked the parts comparrison chart !! I had done a comparrison check and the photo on the listing was what i wanted . I recieved a item that was poor quality and was not the item i ordered . They said i was in the wrong and would have to pay postage . lol.... My issue is how has my feedback dissapeared and if they have managed to get Ebay to remove it and have done this for other neg feedback how does that give a true representation of a company selling **bleep** !! how does that protect buyers or should i say how does it help a buyer to make up their mind whether to buy from them . If ebay has removed it then they should be giving the buyer the oppertunity to have it reinstated for good reason otherwise ebay are covering up bad sales practices.

Sellers can manipulate the feedback removal option.

I'll be in the phone to eBay as a seller issued a partial refund for an item I wished to return. The seller claimed it had been returned missing parts which is an absolute lie as the item & label hasn't been dispatched back to seller yet. The seller even messaged me saying, keep the item after they'd marked as returned. 

It appears eBay aren't allowing buyers to leave honest reviews.
