<p>[QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 330712, member: 9308"]One other problem with these types of auctions...pile lots, grab bags, rolls, etc, is it gives seller a chance to mfg the lot to the price realized....buyer never actually sees what they are bidding on. Seller can say...ok, a $40 worth lot, or....OK, WOW, a $100 lot.......all with the same pic !!!</p><p> </p><p>Remember this when bidding. Toolhaus will always even the feedback scale, along with the star rating system. High volume sellers can make feedback get burried real quick. The star system is a more accurate indicator of the sellers acuracy, buyers less prone to let seller off the hook when they can do it anomously, so a high percentage feedback MAY sometimes be misleading.</p><p> </p><p>Ways to hide bad feedback:</p><p> </p><p>Method #1...shill buyer who buys a bunch of items and leaves a bunch of quick pos's to bury the neg/neutral</p><p> </p><p>Method #2...reply to all feedback received, even pos...to say thank you, it hides the bad from the front page quicker</p><p> </p><p>Method #3...a high number of mutual withdrawls is the most obvious</p><p> </p><p>use this as you would any advise or blah blah....take it or leave it</p><p> </p><p>EDIT: it just occured to me, I have a high number of repeaters from a buyer, right after a withdrawn, lol. I have nothing to hide...just a coincidence. I am slightly less crooked than most crooks. Do your own research and as always, my comments are my opinion only.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

Ways to hide bad feedback: Method #1...shill buyer who buys a bunch of items and leaves a bunch of quick pos's to bury the neg/neutral Method #2...reply to all feedback received, even pos...to say thank you, it hides the bad from the front page quicker Method #3...a high number of mutual withdrawls is the most obvious use this as you would any advise or blah blah....take it or leave it EDIT: it just occured to me, I have a high number of repeaters from a buyer, right after a withdrawn, lol.
