   that is annoying and it's happened to me before so i know how you feel. I didnt have many watches so i had to get my success fee back and relist the item. It's a waste of time and very annoying.

   If you get your success fee refunded, won't the feedback vanish anyway? turn into another symbol.

   Thanks guys - I ended up doing a blue face as I offered it to watchers and someone else has bought it (although not picked up as yet).  Only $1 less than the silly woman won it for too.  I will ask for a refund of my success fee but you have to wait for 3 days after the auction has closed    |

   No you can still place feedback, I have had to do it a couple of times when people have won my auctions and then disappeared off the face of the planet. And yep rules say they get three days to contact you, I have always given people a week/3 e-mails, as I believe that is more than adequate.
You can also change negative feedback if they contact you with what you believe to be a genuine reason for not being in touch.
 
 edited to add that if you get the success fee refunded trademe do add a symbol and comment to say that the transaction didn't occur but its additional to the feedback not instead of it.

   You don't have to wait 3 days as you've 'mutually agreed' about it all. It's recommended that you wait 3 days if I recall, but seeing as you have gone through it all already that's fine.
 But anyway, you'll have to pay the success fee seeing as you offered it.
 
 I don't hesitate in putting negative feedback if someone di*ks me around - they agree to the rules when they sign up. You do run the risk however of them placing negative feedback on you.
