Default ebay feedback extortions are already starting...

Well this is the Shit List so I guess this belongs here as ebay have become even shittier.

With the new ebay feedback rules; (the seller CANNOT give negative feedback), this kind of blackmail was always going to happen. ebay is way too powerful and now, it would seem, getting stupider. You either comply, or get out and many thousands of people rely on ebay as their main source of income.

Read and weep!
  1. "...I want a full refund and I will keep both shirts because I don't want to pay money to send them to you. If you don't agree, I will neg you after the 18th and you can't neg me back".

  2. "...Dear XXXXXXXXXX,
    I received the folders today, and i am very disappointed. They are not all the same color.
    Some are darker vanilla than others. How can I set up my office with different color folders?
    I am aware-you say to ship back, well, I will be out about $4 shipping back to you, plus all my time, how i had to keep checking on
    the bids and monitor them, so i could win, then drive (with gas at $4 gallon!)- to the store to rebuy. Not to mention my
    now aggrevated major headache, which I am now driving to the store fro Tylenol!
    So- Heres the deal: You send me $75.00-I keep the folders and I will "think" about not giving you a negative, You are aware that I can now give you a neg, and you cannot reciprocate? My paypal for the $75 is: XXXXXX@hotmail.com.
    Thanks, Bob
