Now: Both people have negative feedback, neither likes it, and now the Seller has a much LARGER chance of getting the feedback neutral and removed.
Alot of seller's leave negative feedback to every person who left them negative feedback, regardless of payment received quickly and no problems from the buyer.
CASE CLOSED.

Buyer's remorse is not a valid reason to leave neg feedback. Furthermore, feedback is supposed to be a representation of your overall experience with the other party, not just whether or not they paid you.
When I was an ebay seller, I left neg feedback in return for buyers who left me neg feedback for no good reason. I was not only justified in doing so, but I was also following the original purpose of the feedback system. It's not my problem, as a seller, if someone doesn't know their own dress size, decides that green doesn't actually look good in their living room, or their kid doesn't like the video game they bought for their birthday. If you leave me a neg for some stupid reason like that, it means that my overall experience with you was negative and my feedback to you should reflect that.
Of course, ebay has completely abandoned the principals of honesty and transparency that made it popular in the first place, so they removed the sellers' ability to defend themselves. At ebay, the buyer is always right, even when they're a thief, a liar, or a scammer.
