    Interesting........AND strange! I punched up my eBay name and it only pulled up the one negative feedback I received out of 320 transactions, the rest are beyond stellar from buyers. I could not find all the pos feedback on that site. Maybe their live chat people can answer your question on this seller.

    Why is that they have many dozens of buyers and they always leave the exact same feedback?

    "The Very Best Of Ebayers A+++ Fast Payment! A Real Pleasure To Do Business With!"

    Very fishy.

    eBay and PayPal are both screwed up.

    The big sellers all hold your feedback hostage until you leave them positive. The key is to look at the number mutually withdrawn and add this to the negatives. I don't deal with anyone with more than a few negatives.

    The feedback wasn't cleaned up. If you look page by page, you'll see the comments that were "wtihdrawn" (but they remain on record forever).

    A good reminder to look at each page of feedback when bidding on big items!!! Set to "View 200 per page" & then happy reading!

    I have one withdrawn on my record, from a big auction house. They promised no hassle returns, yet when I asked for an RMA, they told me if "they can't duplicate my problem" they would carge a 15% restock fee. WTF? As the problem was intermittent, I just decided to bit the bullet, but wanted people to know... so I left feedback on the 90th day :) Well, apparently this doesn't stop them from retaliating!!! They were able to respond (after 90 days) with a negative mark on my record. *******s! I had 100% positive feedback (even from selling $10,000+ items) yet this $100 item caused my record to be tarnished... eBay sucks!

    +1 Try not to deal with big sellers!

    P.S. - Avoid a company called 2nd Turn Electronics.

    A seller left a pair of retaliatory negatives for me after earning his negatives. He then tried to negotiate a mutual withdrawal. Sellers pay $25 per transaction for an arbitrator to help negotiate an agreement for both parties to withdraw their negative. That's why ***** sellers leave negatives. They hope your feedback is valuable enough to you that you will basically lie for them. No way. I didn't do a damn thing wrong. No withdrawal. I made a website instead. It's only one page, but I love knowing it's a thorn in ohojim's side. www.ohojimsucks.com I had to celebrate the day my site turned up #1 on a Google search.

    I give REALLY good service to all of my eBay customers, but if I even smell that a buyer may give me a negative, I'll hold his or her feedback until they post their feedback. THAT works!
