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.
In theory this is true, however as has been illustrated here it is not that simple
the only problem with this is when the buyer decides to give negative feedback AFTER you have already given positive feedback for something that was the fault of the buyer to begin with, such as complaining shipping was too much when they didnt ask before bidding. This is the fault of the buyer, but they refuse to admit it and use the power of negative feedback to try and strike a blow.
by waiting till you see the customer is not going to pull a back stabbing maneuver before leaving your feedback as a seller, you are just giving yourself an ability to defend yourself.
