Why leave feedback if the Audiogon team is just going to remove it?


I recently bought a power cord from member "troy10".

I left this feedback - which was later removed by Audiogon for what reason I have no idea.


Only leaving NEUTRAL instead of NEGATIVE on the off chance the seller did not actually know this power cord was not authentic. I currently own 3 LessLoss power cords and have two very good audio buddies that own 7 between them. I have also owned 3-4 more in the past as my system(s) underwent change. When this cable arrived, I noticed right away that it was missing the normal "LESSLOSS" decal and the "OYIADE.COM" decal on each end of the cable. When I contacted the seller, he said that just because there are no stickers, that does not mean that it is a fake. I checked my existing cables and called my friends to confirm as well, and all 10 of the power cords had both of these stickers present at each end of the cable. It was only after several messages back and forth between myself and the seller that he finally said "I removed the stickers". THIS IS INCREDIBLY DECEPTIVE... I now have to go through the arduous process of making a claim on PayPay to get my funds back...very disappointed with this transaction.

I had another transaction where I left NEUTRAL feedback... I was the buyer and the item that I received was not working.  I was merely asking for a return/refund from the seller.  After leaving the neutral feedback, the seller leaves me neutral feedback complaining that I was a bad buyer.  So, Audiogon decides to take BOTH of the neutral feedback off.  What a total waste of effort for everyone.  I do not understand why this is happening.
If they continue to remove any feedback other than POSITIVE, then how is any potential buyer supposed to know if they are dealing with a person on the up & up???
