<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 820919, member: 13650"]I have to agree. After you get so many positive feedbacks with varying descriptions, what's one more? Especially if you're mainly a buyer. They're mainly there to give people a rough idea of what kind of ebayer you are. Several hundred or more usually means somebody is pretty active. Less than a hundred I'd say would be classified as a pretty casual ebayer in general. Zero feedback really needs to be approached with caution. IMO, some people have fake account out there that they used to bid stuff up with. </p><p><br /></p><p> I just had somebody bid up an auction with zero feedback, it ended, and I never heard from them again. As a seller, I am no longer allowed to leave negative feedback and ebay didn't suspend their account. So he's still out there. I just had to deal with the hassle of getting fees refunded and re-listing. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> I think you're blowing it out of proportion. There may be a very small percentage of that going on, but there are many, many coin dealers selling thousands of dollars worth of coins on ebay every month. And when they're in slabs, there's pretty much no B.S. I think it's very obvious when you're dealing with a dealer. In fact, I'd say there are very few non-dealers on ebay. But you are right. You can't always go by feedback alone. There are many idiots who get ripped off and don't know the difference. And they leave wonderful, positive feedback. Even for obvious fakes! Feedback is only valuable to a point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
