Looks like they were asked to leave Amazon 2 years ago:
Quote:Positive: - - - 68%
Neutral: - - - 6%
Negative: - - - 26%
Almost 900 of 3500 total feedbacks there were negative. :

Totalcampus also was kicked off Amazon 2 years before eBay got around to kicking them off.
Quote:Positive: - - - 59%

It appears eBay will allow its users to be ripped off for far longer than Amazon will.
They already ran off so many buyers.
I guess it is only fair they continue to run off sellers too.
I'm glad when I see big guys go down.
Sad when a seller just can't turn a profit there anymore
but good when it is these multi neg folks.
Shows that it can and does happen to all.
I just can't wait to see when Express comes online.
This is going to be VERY interesting for sure.

It would take a lot of effort to achieve 41% neg/neut with 13,000+ feedbacks.
:blinkie:
eBay does seem to have started cracking down (a little) against the worst offenders since Buy Essex's buyers filed the class action against eBay/PayPal/BuyEssex last Spring. 5 sellers in the 100,000 feedback club have been NARU'd in the past 7 months (and a 6th was kicked off eBay last January). Even with the recent NARUs, eBay continues to allow its biggest fee payers to get away with a lot more (i.e. INR complaints, SNAD complaints) than Amazon allows.

Is it an involuntary vacation or were the profits too low (or losses too big)?
They're not listed as NARU but they suddenly went from 5-6,000 sales a month to 0.

Answered my own question.

I wonder if they celebrated this bit of eBay history at eBay Live: during Live!: about the same time Billy Cobb was giving his keynote speech one of Meg's favorite sellers (the one with a FB of 89.2%) become the first ever eBay seller to achieve 20,000 unique negatives :
Quote:86.1%
Whoah! That's a serious batch of negatives, that is.
I understand that the more sales you make, the more likely you are to get an unhappy / psycho / vindictive customer--but that 86.1% is chronically bad service.
netclearances was probably the WORST FVF avoidance sellers EVER.... My A#1 case-and-point as to how some high-volume sellers could consistently get away with something the rest of us couldn't.
... 'bout bloody time they were NARU'd... something tells me it had nothing to do with fee avoidance, though.
