Ebay/Moral Question, I hate these people. Options

[cHinaman727]

I bought an intake from that eautosource guy on ebay a while back. I recieved it slowly, w/o communication, and bad packaging.

I left him a NEUTRAL feedback.

Anyways, 3 months later, I get an email from him.

Apparently, he left me a NEGATIVE feedback with this reasoning:

Feedback you left: (neutral) Good price/Semi-Fast Shipping/Bad Communication/Bad Packaging(loose item) **OK**
Feedback you received: (negative) please agree with the mutual feedback withdraw and remove your neutral feedback


Message from seller: I apoligize for giving you a negative but with ebays new policy your neutral counts as a negative for me so if you could please agree with this it would be great and help both of us thank you

If this were you guys, would you withdraw your feedback?

I feel that this isnt right! He deserves a negative feedback for blackmailing me like this and using my feedback against me. I left him what he deserved. I paid quickly, communicated like I should have and he did not fufill his end.

Tell me I have some protection against jerks like this on ebay!

Nope. eBay feedback system and eBay and Paypal protection systems are absolute rubbish - no protection at all. I saw one guy selling 100s of illegally copied CDs per month and then defaulting on a very high value item every couple of months or so. Feedback average was always >99% even though he was clearly ripping people off on the high-value items.
