Fee increases aside (no, I don't like them either), I'm not sure what to think of this. As someone that buys more often than sells (but I do sell as well), I find that over time, the trend has been for sellers to withhold feedback until after they get positive feedback. So, regardless of the seller's performance, if the buyer doesn't leave them positive feedback, the buyer all too often gets no feedback. If as a buyer, you felt the performace of the seller was less than stellar, or just plain bad, and you leave them negative feedback, the seller will retaliate and leave you the buyer negative feedback. IMO, because of this, everyone leaves everyone positive feedback, or none at all, in order to "play the game". The only obligations a buyer has, are: pay with a legitimate funding source, and pay promptly. I always leave prompt positive feeback for buyers that pay promptly, because that is the buyer's only obligation - to pay. Don't misunderstand. I understand that there are scenarios where as a seller, you'd like to leave some buyers negative feedback, but I think (I'm still tossing it around in my head), that if given the choice between the feedback "game" as it's currently played, and the new guidelines, I'd lean toward the new guidelines.
