[Ducati] Fw: ebay feedback

I have to chime in here as well.

The last 20 or so things I have purchase on ebay I have not recieved 
feedback because I have not left it for the seller.

I have contacted each seller letting them know that I am happy with the item 
and asking that they leave feedback for me, I will then leave feedback for 
them.

I get alot of excuses, the most prevaleant however is that they have an 
automatic return system that they cannot overide.  I think this is poor 
business.

If I purchase stuff on ebay I now know that I just am not gonna recieve 
feedback.
