I need the money as much as the next person, that doesn't mean I shouldn't enjoy the interaction with other people, does it?

My original idea for this discussion was not WHETHER a seller gives feedback or not, but WHEN, and the possible corruption of the system inherent in that.
NCXLightning; Unfortunately I find your third sentence above rather offensive. You are accusing me of hypocrisy. That has no place in this forum, please desist.
This has been an interesting and lively discussion and I'm pleased to have started it. We've had a stimulating exchange of ideas, but I think it's now in danger of becoming bogged down in a slanging match and I am not posting further on the subject.
Thank you to everybody who contributed.

I stand by my statement, but I do agree I might be too abrupt on this forum. I'm too used to a certain forum that has nothing to do with e-bay, and when debatable topics come up it is a bit heated.
I apoligise if I have offended anyone, that wasn't my intention, I will be less forward in the future.
