I have a question for some of the Ebay regulars on this forum... Do sellers somehow artificially boost their feedback scores? It seems that every seller I see has at least 97% positive feedback, even if they appear to me to be selling junk. Are they inflating this somehow? Even that guy aboncom has over 99% positive feedback.
Lots of people are scared of retaliatory negs--but--more people just can't tell junk when they see it.
Yes, there is a degree of "artificial" feedback and as DJ pointed out the fear of "retaliatory" feedback. As for Abon the feedback is 99% because 99% of his buyers are clueless when it comes to coins.
Anybody who buys from Abon is 99% stoopider than the rest of us Ebay claims that 80% of neg feedback comes from 3% of sellers
