I do agree with the comments above that sellers should be forced to leave feedback first, but the changes being outlined are still an improvement on the current system. The current system has evolved into one where sellers have left buyers unable to warn other buyers about bad sellers. I'd rather sellers having to relist than buyers being straight out ripped off and unable to say anything because of manipulative sellers.

I think it will work.
