If the buyer leaves positive feedback you know they are happy, you sold your item and got your money, what more do you want, then you can leave positive feedback.
This is a bull***** practice and you know it. I can't believe you have the cajones to announce that to us.
As a buyer, if I pay you promptly with clear funds, a valid shipping address and enough information for you to connect the payment to the product, then my obligation to you has been completed and I deserve positive feedback. No ifs ands or buts about it. This is non-negotiable.
As a seller , your obligation to me is to promptly and securely pack the item I just paid you for and deliver it to the proper transfer agent for cartage to my domicile. When I receive the aforementioned package, if the product is in as advertised condition, this is when you the seller get your attaboy.
If you've done you job correctly there is no swordpoint to be held with.
I refuse to do business with any seller who advertizes that they hold my feedback hostage.
