[Roadsters] OT- new ebay rules what the heck?

[s.ulrich]

I thought it was a lousy way to solve the problem too (retaliatory 
feedback), even never having sold there before it seems like a real 
shaft to the sellers.

All they needed to do was hold both feedback ratings and not display 
them until both were in. That way, one party couldn't hold the other 
party's feedback "hostage", as was apparently the problem they were 
trying to solve.
