I too had some problems with feedback and think that ebay's policy on this sucks...I had some left for me for an item that I had NEVER bid on, never had the seller contact me about, and NEVER in a million years could find out what it was for and, when I looked at the "feedback I had left for others" tab, I found that I supposedly had left feedback on a porn item that I didn't win and couldn't bid on even if I wanted to (no CC on file), ebay refused to remove it even after I started getting sicko emails from porn sites.

However, you can now respond to feedback that other people have left for you...if you go into feedback forum and look for the link that takes you to something like "read and respond to feedback others have left about you"...you can reply to those stinkers that left the unjustified feedback. So, although you will have a negative, you may respond, and (most) sellers will be able to see that someone was just being a jerk.

But, (and here's my two cents again) I view feedback as just a subjective indicator and shouldn't be used for anything except telling people that you've shipped or received the item in question. There's too many people that abuse feedback, don't leave feedback at all, or won't leave negative feedback for fear of reprisals from an angry buyer/seller.
