Jeff D.I have to say I don't really see the point in leaving negative feedback to a buyer.
Sellers can't block buyers with negative feedback, or even very low percentages (as far as I know). So you're risking a retaliatory negative as a SELLER, which really WILL make a difference to prospective buyers. Your only hope in leaving that negative is that a seller will see the bad feedback and cancel his bid. But if he's smart, he will just snipe auctions, leaving that seller in the same spot you are in right now. So it's really a losing proposition to stick your neck out to essentially "trash talk" the buyer. Feedback for buyers is pretty pointless imo. Maybe someone can clue me in as to why it's necessary beyond a certain point.
As a related aside, I recently bought a card from a seller with a rating of less than 20 and 5 negative feedbacks in the last 6 months (3 in the last month alone)...all as a buyer. He delivered a great item in a perfectly reasonable amount of time.
