Another Battlefield?

So are the 86 Neutrals, and if you read some them, they could very easily be negatives as well.

And after reading some of their negative feedback it appears this outfit also has a horrible cellar.

I think it actually represents an improvement for this seller as well. I remember him being in the 98's.

You do realize, like bid retractions, they eventually get removed. This guy, like Battlefield can never stay clean, they always have neutral and negative feedback.

Call me silly, but I'll stick with those that have very few neutral and negative feedback scores.
This last seller I just purchased from was clearly a mistake on my part. It won't happen again, I promise.

I assume by "they" you mean negatives. They do. The positives get removed too. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is that in the past 12 months the guy has had 24,997 transactions in which feedback was left and 24,782 were positive. That's 99.1% positive in the last 12 months. That's a pretty solid track record.

I do some selling on Ebay and I've learned that some buyers are just jerks...about 1 in a 100....which could explain why only 99 out of 100 of his transactions end happily ever after.

Not saying this guy couldn't clean up the one percent a little, but I think the evidence shows he's not intentionally trying to rip people off.

Now I get why you are trying so hard to defend them.

Of course there are jerks out there but please explain how many have perfect, or 100% positive feedback?

I'm not defending him. I just think you're overreacting to a seller with 99.1% feedback. Especially one as high volume as him. You do that many transactions, your bound to have an issue with a buyer once in a while.

Like I said...there's one out of every 100 buyers. I think you may be one.

100% Postive feedback for me by the way.

I'll tell you what... Go buy a group of cards from Battlefield0516. Same premise 15k+ positives and "only" 129 negatives. After you get your cards, closely inspect them and compare to the auction scans. EVERY ONE of them will have some kind of clean up done, some more than others. Flaws will be hidden, corners will be worse on the card than in the scan. If you can live with that then leave all the positives you want. But you can't tell me that seller, despite 15k positives, isn't a crook!

But let's not forget that Battlefield isn't even close to 99% successful. While I totally agree with you, the severity of the photo-shopping and over-illuminating the flaws with bright scans is so blatant that they are much lower than a 99% rating. Along with 15K positives (allowing for a lot of "satisfied" buyers overlooking the touched-up flaws), instead of 129, you will have more like 450 negatives.

Not the same premise. Battlefield's feedback rating is 97.8% That's a huge difference. Nobody looks at 99+% positive and raises an eyebrow.

97.8% is not considered a good feedback rating.
