It's not bogus. It's a way for the seller to charge more without paying the eBay fee, and it's a way of retaining more of the money in the event of a returned item.

The seller has a right to verify you're not going to return the item for some contrived BS reason (really buyer's remorse) before giving you feedback. Just because you pay quickly doesn't mean you're a good customer.
I have ONE negative feedback from a whacko nutjob seller. The item I bought never came. She had a tracking number but the number never showed up in USPS (I think that means that she had printed a label). There was no proof the item actually shipped. E-mails were exchanged without resolution - I left her a neutral, she retaliated with vitriol. It wasn't worth it, only a $6 item.... I'll be more careful from now on.
