they dont have to be involved in the transaction...it has nothing to do with admin...it is a place for people to post what they feel, how good or bad a transaction was, and a way to keep vendors honest...maybe that is why some vendors are doing this, cause they can, and know that there is no consequence for their actions...if you use paypal, you have only a month to file a claim...man, some vendors dont even start your stuff before that...how can you possibly make a claim on paypal then? the vendor has your money, and you can do nothing...with a feedback, the admin just keeps language, content, and coc within its boundaries, and let us tell others about who shafts us!! its not fair...we as buyers have nothing but trust to go with...you, Pete, trusted your seller, i recommended him...so what now? you have nothing, but wait and trust...you have done that for how long now? ya....
