1) the owner keeps giving me the run-around, saying he's sending me out a replacement cord.
2) Not sure this is really a "negative feedback" type thing... caveat emptor, and such - sure it wasn't the length I expected, but the length also wasn't stated anywhere (though that might lead one to assume it's at least nearly as long as the factory cord - which this wasn't).
The seller still hasn't left any feedback - even though I've paid... so I'm kinda thinking they're waiting for me to make the first move, and they'll follow suit... and that bothers me. I lived up to my end of the deal - paid in full seconds after the auction closed... but if I mention that the product isn't quite what I was expecting, suddenly I'm the bad guy, and a terrible buyer?
Maybe the feedback system should be blind. Meaning: you don't know what the other posted about you until you've posted your feedback about them.

Ok, you just explained why the seller should be able to leave negative feedback.
You, solely on your own, failed to contact the seller thru ebay message system and ask about the length of the cord during the auction.
You got the cord, the cord fucking works, but you made assumptions about the cord and never asked about it but now you think it's the sellers fault.
In this case you can't actually leave any factual negative feedback because the buyer did not misslead you about the length.
He didn't mention the lenght, ok.
Did he mention the color? What if you assumed the cord was black but it was red? Do you still have a complaint about that?
If you make assumptions and they don't come true then that it not the sellers fault. You have the full capability within ebay to clarify all facts about the merchandise thru messaging.
If you leave him negative feedback then he would be right to trash you in his feedback. So you are right about him waiting for you to make the first move.
Fuck him and he fucks you back.
And it's justified because you are the one that actually fucked up.
