“He suggests a system in which after the first party (either the buyer or the seller) leaves a negative feedback, the other party’s ability to leave a feedback on that transaction is completely disabled.”

So if a seller wants to rip off a customer s/he can just leave bad feedback straigt away after the sale and disable the buyer’s feedback.

I think they should get rid of feedback for buyers. The buyer has to decide on how to pick the seller. The seller cant pick his/her buyers.

- Instead of evaluating a seller for a shipping and handling charge that the buyer already approved and agreed to when they bid, replace it with a one to five-star rating of: “Would buy from again.”

I agree to this as the shipping and handling charge is already agreed to by the buyer.

I also think that the shipping time feedback can be unfair at times. I ship from overseas and always a day or two after payment is received, yet there are some buyers who gave less than a 5 stars rating. There are many reasons behind this. The item could be held up in customs or by the postal system or the buyer simply have very high expectation of delivery time.

If the item is slow in arriving due to the postal system some buyers will give a low rating and this is very unfair to the seller/s.
