Terrible feedback changes (none / 0) (#10)
by Rey on Wed Jul 02, 2008 at 10:35:44 AM PDT

I have precisely one negative feedback after 10 years on eBay of more than 900 sales and 200 purchases.

The neg was from a seller whose product description said the item had a warranty when it did not. The item arrived DOA.

After PayPal conducted an investigation and made him give me a refund, he left me a neg. eBay will not allow removal of a neg.

That seller receives an average of 55 negs a year, year after year, more than one a week. I have just that one in 10 years.

After Brian Burke's sly, wicked feedback changes at eBay, that seller has a 98% positive feedback record. I have a 97.5.

Do you really want to do business on eBay?
