Leaving Negative Feedback for a seller for a bad experience or even neutral

Hey , So i was just wondering about Feedback

Example , say if i have a negative experience with a seller, and i might want to leave a Neutral or even a Negative feedback, doesnt it mean they can just  write a negative one to me even if i have paid instantly, and did nothing wrong myself  ? 

Thanks

Leaving Negative Feedback for a seller for a bad experience or even neutral

Sellers can't leave negative feedback, for the very reason you outlined. They can also be penalised for leaving a "negative positive" response. Sellers actuaslly get very little protection from eBay.

If a seller ever uses Positive Feedback to retaliate this is called a 'false positive' and you can report it to eBay to have it removed.

adding to the advice already given -

 

Many sellers will block buyers with private feedback.
