I think what is meant is "caveat emptor".

Here's a seller on ebay that has Radio-Mart beat by a long shot. The
seller id is: bargainland-liquidation. This business has over 12
THOUSAND negative feedbacks.

Yeah so? They have *hundreds of thousands* of positive feedbacks.

Do you suppose that negative feedback has
ANY meaning to the administrators at eBay? Forget Radio-Mart and his
negative feedbacks. This seller could really teach him a few things.
rgds,

I seriously doubt that a buyers feedback rating has any effect on
eBay. Furthermore, this is as it should be. The feedback is there
such that each participant can make their own determination on whether
to deal with an individual or not.

Nothing to see here, move along....

zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
sort them into the correct order.

RRAB fine for dissing vendor never bought from: $300.

He is doing good at basic math.

And you're doing 'good' at basic English.



Hey Joe, Bite my ass. How's that?

Shouldn't the "B" be lower case? ;-)

Ebay's feedback reporting is almost meaningless. Take the example of
radio-mart.

In 2003 his alter-ego, gottahaveit1995, was bidding radio-mart's auctions
and even listed feedback (positive, of course) on radio-mart's feedback
pages. Radio-mart appeared suspended in Spring of 2004. Some three months
later, radio-mart reappeared as a registered user and started selling again.
The feedback from gottahaveit1995 on radio-mart's feedback page then
(conveniently) disappeared....yes, ebay erased it!

The bottom line he if ebay "fixes" someone's feedback to coverup an
obvious fraud....how much credibility does ebay have, let alone their
much-faulted "feedback" system.

To me, the feedback system remains a joke.

Shouldn't "lower case" be lowercase?

If you listen to clark Howard, he will tell you that.
