Of course, it is true that some sellers would hold a buyer "hostage" until after the buyer posted feedback. Fortunately, I've never had to leave negative feedback one way or the other, though there was an occasion where I was close. Maybe a double-blind feedback system would be better. Neither the buyer nor the seller can see the feedback the other has left until both have left feedback. After x days, you could no longer leave feedback and if only one left feedback that feedback would then be publicly available. I’ve been both a buyer and a seller, but haven’t been a seller in years.
