Feedback -why must I give a 5 star rating to get one from vendor

[sameantha]

Some of the vendors I am buying from automatically have it set up to give me a 5 star rating only when I have given the same. They should be independent of each other.  I think this is a misuse of the system. I am reluctant to give any rating at all on these items

Sellers cannot leave Ratings for buyers. These are Detailed SELLER Ratings. No seller will ever 'rate' you.

Feedback is voluntary.

Sellers can only leave feedback that is positive.

Because all  feedback for buyers is positive, it is only egoboo, and has no bearing on the buyer's account.
