The way I see it, the whole feedback mechasim is floored anyway. When you purchase an item and pay for it one would expect the seller to leave you feedback, however many times this does not happen until you leave feedback after receiving your goods. Now here's the catch.
If you leave positive feedback more than likely you will be reciprocated with the same. However if you leave negative feedback and it is warranted, the seller will more than likely do the same just out of spite and it becomes a lose lose situation. So in short, why leave negative feedback when there is a good probability the same will happen.
For proof, you just need to see the thousands of tit for tats between buyers and sellers. Once the negative stamp is placed, thats it!!!
btw: if you've paid for your item and on time, then technically you've completed your contractual obligations and the seller has no reason to leave you negative feedback.
FWIW: I've purchased several things on ebay and 99% of things have been fine. But the odd item that I received that wasn't up to scratch I decided to turn a blind eye, moan for a few days and move on - and yes I ended up leaving an average 'good' feedback.
