Heh! Last weekend a seller with a positive rating of 37 put up a high-end
laptop for a one-day auction. Checking his ratings showed that all were from
him being a buyer for items under $5.00 (lawn gnomes, figurines, paperback
books, etc.).

He evidently thought a good positive rating would influence buyers too.

You need to watch what you buy and from whom.

I have over 250 successful transactions. I only got
screwed once for an item that didnt show. I contacted
Paypal and they got my money back.

I've also sold a bunch of stuff on there too. Really cant
complain about any of it. Some of the stuff I sold was headed
for the trash but someone out there wanted it and I got some
money out of it.

Well, if one doesn't use tools available... :(

I do (check) religiously (so to speak) and haven't ever had a bad
experience. Any reputable seller will give shipping const assurance and
it's easy enough to facotr that cost into the max you're willing to
bid...

Best buy so far was < $5k for a 40-ft JLG boom lift that's been a
life-saver on the barn roof, much else...

I had a guy non ship, but was afraid to leave a negative seller
rating.

You see, when you do that, the seller turn around and makes up some
lie and leaves a negative rating on you.

Ebay lets them do it, so don't ever leave negative ratings on
someone.

I wouldn't hesitate. I once got retaliatory feedback from a shitty seller.
You can respond to feedback and offer to explain if other ebayers want to
inquire. If you only have negative feedback that is obviously retaliatory it
shows.

And one of the Judge Judy wannabes awarded a defamation settlement against
an ebay buyer who intentionally left false feedback with the intent to
effect future sales of the seller. They can't get too carried away with
false negative feedback.

I did complain to ebay about the retaliatory feedback.... did absolutely NO
good. So I responded to the feedback.
