Has ebay created insanity?

Maybe you didn't combine shipping on multiple purchases?

It seems that about 95% of buyers are pretty good, the other 5% are a funny bunch, you could give them cards for free, ship for free, and they still would find a problem and complain. I guess it's just the way of the world.

Free is free no matter how many you purchase. I do agree that someone could give a lower rating because there not satisfied with something else.

I had no idea any of this was going on. I have never bothered with the "star" portion of the feedback rating. I just leave them blank out of laziness. I had no idea I might actually be doing the sellers a favor.

How is it that sellers who routinely pass off counterfeits as originals, or who sell cut-out pictures from magazines as baseball cards, are still running rampant on ebay. But sellers who get a rating of better than "very good" in every category can be booted off? Totally bizarre.

Probably bc these sellers are not as concerned as others when their discount goes from 20% to 15% would be my guess.

That makes a lot of sense.

I was kidding.
