Why did ebay remove negative feedback I left for seller, but didn't even tell me they did this??!

Since ebay is damn impossible to get answers these days - sometimes I just want to close my account & tell ebay to get stuffed forever - please community tell me why negative feedback I left for a seller has been removed & ebay being the jerk they are, didn't even tell me they removed it!  

Since you can't trust ebay ratings and feedback anymore, I also left a negative review of the company on Google, to warn prospective buyers.  I think it sucks that ebay is so dishonest that they can't let negative feedback be left for a seller and their sneaky, not telling the buyer they have removed it.  

BTW I didn't break ebay policy, I bought a stuffed toy from a company which advertised it as 8 inches in size but it was actually 6.5 inches when it arrived.  When I contacted the seller about it, they had a bad attitude saying all the other feedback they receive is positive (mind you, they sell a range of items and all the feedback is listed as private, so nobody can see what item was purchased).  Anyway, in my neg feedback I said exactly this (the problem with the size) and that they had a bad attitude on response.  That's it.

The neutral feedback you have just left for another seller will also be removed if they report it. You are not allowed to use a second purchase to leave bad feedback for another item you previously bought from them.

The "false positive" feedbacks you repeatedly left for buyers who haven't paid or have displeased you in some way will also be removed if reported. Sellers are only allowed to leave positive feedback and positive coments for buyers.

If you don't take any notice of eBay's policies on leaving feedback it's hardly surprising that you're being reported at last. Feedback policy abuse can damage your account.
