I recently bought a Sony VX2000 with a couple of lenses and accessories on e-bay. I was very pleased with the transaction and products but then I got the following in an e-mail from the seller:

"THIS IS A AUTOAMTIC FEEDBACK PROGAM AS SOON AS YOU LEAVE FEEDBACK IT WILL RETURN THE FEEDBACK TO YOU.
ITS SIMPLE YOU GET WHAT YOU GIVE IF YOU LEAVE A POSITIVE YOU GET A POSITIVE NEUTRAL FOR NEUTRAL WARNING LEAVE A NEGATIVE AND YOU WILL AUTOMAICALLY WILL GET A NEGATIVE
Please take the opportunity to leave me feedback as well.
For your convenience, I've included the link below...."

WTF? Can they really get away with this shit - I mean if I wasnt happy with what I got I wouldnt want to fuck up my E-bay feedback rating by positng negative feedback even if their shit sucked. So, they pretty much give you no option to post anything negative about them, thus ensuring they maintain a positive rating regardless of how bad their products/services are. Can they really get away with this shit? Would E-Bay be interested in this e-mail or do they really not give a shit?
