Real or Fake?

If I only bid with sellers with 100%, I would miss a ton of great stuff because of the plethora of “Karen’s” out there. The percentage means jack, you have to look critically.

I admit I don't buy much off of eBay anymore, but in 679 transactions in the past I only bought stuff from 100% feedback sellers. Probably missed out on things over the years, but I never had an issue or incident in all 679.

Not trying to one-up, I have left feedback for almost 7000 transactions and have had far less than a handful of issues. There was no relationship with 100% feedback I noticed. I do use logic, someone with sub 90% may be avoided but one negative in hundreds of transactions is either an honest mistake or a complainer to me.

I also know how many sellers are held hostage by bad buyers threatening negative feedback if they do not submit to extortion for money or held over a barrel by empty box return scams. I refuse to let those people be bullied by people wasting good air.
