I agree, buyers now no they hold all the cards and are using them to defraud honest people. Happens just as often as the opposite
found myself desperately searching for this link, so I think I'll make it a sticky as it is such a very helpful tool. Thanks rgjusa!
As for the "why's negative feedback helpful" question, let's look at a hypothetical where we look at the larger picture:
Hypothetically, let's say there's a guy selling the occasional fake tour club on ebay, but has hundreds and hundreds of positive sales from his comic book or baseball card collections and other low-dollar items. Those few negatives (or sometimes more telling, the neutrals) speak volumes as to how the "proprietor" conducts himself. Additionally, positives are extremely superficial, and are often held hostage by bigger sellers (and in this hypothetical, the last 300 or so have been nothing more than an advertisement for his pretend website).
Let's say, again hypothetically, that said comic book/tour club dealer has a %99.5 positive rating, a 2311 feedback score, and 3123 total positive feedbacks from 2322 members, with only 11 negatives. But if you look closer, you'll see that he's only left 1647 feedbacks with 13 negatives (and 6 neutrals), and looking at the dates--they're all retaliatory (again, in the Land of Make-Believe 
). That would definitely make me think twice about "knowing my source." 
And that, is a short tutorial on why toolhaus.org is a very useful site!

as a seller i am more interested in the non payment negative feedback.why ebay lets a buyer get a few "strikes" against them before they do anything to the buyer is crazy.the seller wastes time and money relisting the item.may loss money on the next sale compared to the non payers sale price nd has to wait several weeks for his refund of the fees while the non payers keeps bidding on other items.the buyer should not be able to bid for 30 days if a non payment is filed agist him or until he pays the seller for the fees he lost.
