Uh, no it's not. If both parties have to "agree" to show feedback, then sellers will never have to show that they received honest, negative feedback. What would a big seller prefer... if 1/100 feedbacks are negative leaving a 99% rating, or if 1/100 feedbacks are never seen, therefore leaving 99 positive feedbacks and a 100% rating? You tell me what system encourages predatory selling.
It takes 2 parties to make transactions, and I have yet to see a shortage of seller's in the history of eBay. You can damn well be sure that the recent decline of transactions is due to buyers jumping ship.
