I was wrong. Very wrong. eBay has 3 shooting star negative feedback sellers (sellers with over 10,000 negatives) not 2 as I originally stated. I missed this one: 15,773 negatives and a 88.3% feedback percentage. :blinkie: :blinkie: :blinkie: :blinkie:

Why would ANYONE buy from a seller with 88% feedback??? They have quite a few bids on their current listings as well.

This is unbelievable that they are still allowed to sell and yes why are people still buying from them Smileyyellowbang

I think most buyers just see the 100,000+ feedback ratings of these sellers and don't bother to look at the feedback page to see all the negatives. Also, to buyers who are new to eBay a positive percentage of 88% or 92% might seem like its really good. I personally think it would help buyers more if eBay changed its percentage numbers to the same system Amazon (and eBid.tv) uses with a separate percentage breakdown for positive, negative, and neutral.

OK, so who wants to post a link to this thread during today's Bill Cobb/Trust & Safety Town Meeting and ask why eBay hasn't done anything yet to help the 1000+ buyers this month who didn't receive their items from this one seller? :twistedevil:

totalcampus now only needs 48 more 'item not receiveds' to hit 11,000 :blinkie: ...and the seller with 10,331 negs who was NARU'd by eBay is featured at the top of Overstock Auctions home page today : Smile

Isn't it possible the only reason eBay kicked them off the site was to cover eBay's own ass in the class action suit?

B-)

I'm just asking because one of eBay's largest sellers has received over 1000 negative feedback comments containing the words 'item not received' THIS MONTH alone and eBay has yet to take action.

FYI the seller in question now has over 11,000 negatives so the problem of the rules not being evenly enforced for this seller and customers getting burned while eBay sat by and watched has been going on for a few years...perhaps this was allowed to happen because until very recently the seller used to have 150,0000-250,000 items listed and eBay was receiving a large amount in listing fees every month.

FYI-This is an eBay Stores question since the eBay store in question is still open.

Just to follow up, many of the comments left for this seller by buyers contain phrases like "ebay was no help", "I won't buy on eBay any more because of this", so eBay's failure to act on this matter has hurt ALL eBay sellers.
