"Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication is UNFAIR."
I don't like the word UNFAIR...what would work better?
It's for my eBay terms.

I wrote your sentence a half dozen different ways. If you want more options, contact me through my profile. Other editing might also be available upon request.
"Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication will do nothing to correct a buyer's problems or concerns."
"Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication is unreasonable."
"Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication denies the seller the opportunity to correct any discrepancies."
"Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication is detrimental to both buyer and seller."
"Prior communication, not negative or neutral feedback is the fastest way to customer satisfaction."
"The seller asks all customers to communicate grievances directly prior to posting negative or neutral feedback."
"Leaving negative or neutral feedback will do nothing to correct your problems or concerns. Only direct communication with the seller can accomplish that."
OK, I lied, there are seven re-writes.

Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication is impolite.

Leaving negative or neutral feedback with no prior communication
indicates that you are a semi-literate baboon with poor personal hygiene.

Try using a positive tone.
Please communicate with me to resolve issues prior to leaving poor feedback. Thank you.

I agree with Heather. A positive tone in these situations will always make your customers feel better about you from the beginning. How 'bout... "I will do my very best to be sure you're satisfied. Should you not be pleased for any reason, please contact me before leaving neutral or negative feedback." It's a little wordier, but it lets folks know you're out to please.

I agree absolutely! "Unfair" to who? Or what? This is not a complete sentence. I think "sh!tty" sounds better. Actually, I think "counter-productive" would be a much better replacement. Hope your memo has an agreeable, or at least fair, reception!
