Is sarcastic "positive" feedback OK on ebay?

[cyberdan]

I sold something almost two weeks ago. The buyer never paid or even answer my two messages and ebays "where is the money" message. So had to go through the no pay route to get my fees refunded. AND, as you all know us sellers can only say nice this about buyers no matter how bad they are.

Well I started it nice but couldn't help the rest of what I said. This is his first f/b too ;( oh well, I don't care. It is probably one of many accounts he has.

This is what I said:

Great buyer? zero feedback, no pay, no message answer. SELLER BEWARE.

P.S. This is some commie, registered in the Russian Federation. But gave an east coast shipping company to send Billy to.

I have left false positives on every buyer that did not pay.

I have done the same thing. It's b.s. Sellers can't leave negative feedback

Wow, almost 15 years. I started selling in 2001.

I don't leave fb for buyers who don't pay. Even for the lunatic who bought a $425 bracelet, didn't pay, and then asked me to cancel it because she found a similar one for cheaper, who then left ME positive feedback saying how awesome the bracelet was.

What exactly makes this person a "lunatic"?

UH, she bought an item, refused to pay for it, and then left positive feedback about how awesome it is ... Not normal, IMHO. (I'm happy for the positive feedback, except it wasn't feedback I really earned, now was it?)
