Mysterious removal of negative feedback on ebay

[echidna]

Its very rare for me to leave negative feedback on ebay.
And I do so under extreme circumstances only.
On the two recent occasions I have done this the negative feedback has mysteriously disappeared.
Enquiries result in the inevitable fob-off.

Bottom line is this: it appears the ebay rip-off merchants can easily get negative feedback removed simply by asking.
No evidence is required.
Anyone had similar experiences ?
