selling on eBay: do you ask for feedback?

NEG >> How's this for your Feed back << Or something similar

There are no prizes for who has the most Feed Back
There are no discounts for who has the most Feed Back

feedback is reputation. When I bid on something, I certainly look at seller's feedback. Not a deciding factor, but important nevertheless.

Also, if someone leaves negative feedback, isn't there a way dispute it with ebay? Of course, it means time spent doing that, but I am not sure buyers can just randomly leave bad feedback without any consequences, don't they have to be ready to substantiate it somehow?

I shop by TOTAL Price
I make the purchase from the Seller that has my item for the lowest TOTAL Price
I pay with PayPal so if there should be a problem, I will get a FULL refund
Item price + what I paid for the shipping & handling

eBay will RARELY remove Negative Feed Back left for a Seller short of a court order
OR if the Buyer mentions a dispute in the Feed Back

Otherwise they (eBay) says it is the Buyers opinion and they can say what they want

There are no consequences for the Buyer that left it and they don't they have to be ready to substantiate it somehow
