But those sellers don't last long, their negative feedback would pile up so fast they would be gone in no time. I don't buy from ebay rookies who would do something so stupid....Thats where the feedback comes in.
The feedback on ebay is not worthless, it is very valuable IMHO. Perfect? no, but if you really learn how to interpret it with experience it is very useful. I not only check every sellers recent feedback, I look for their responses to negatives they may have, some are absolutely incredible and I avoid those sellers like the plague. I also check BUYERS feedbacks when I am selling high ticket items. If a bidder has some recent non paying bidder feedback or shaky buying feedback he is not only history on that auction, he goes in my banned bidder file.

I think you misunderstood my meaning. What I mean was if the discription was way off, quite possible the seller was cheating, and he/she knew it. ===== Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
