What's the big deal with 100% It's not like you get anything from it. As I said before, I've probably done close to 175 transactions on ebay (buying and selling) I have three NEG. from sellers that outright screwed me and then left NEG, feed-back on top of it because I told the truth. Again 100% positive gets you what? I feel good knowing I exposed those a$$whipes for who they were, so I have 99.8 % out of 175 WHOA nobody deal with me I might screw you too!john.django said:BTW mine is 100%

When I search for an item to buy (not necessarily Fett-related), and several sellers offer that item for the same price, I use feedback as a way to measure a seller's credibility. For instance, if a seller consistently misspells words or insults buyers for leaving derogatory feedback, I stay away from that seller.
And I usually trust 100% sellers first (so that I don't have to read the others), so it helps to keep that percentage high...especially if you're selling on eBay as a business.
There are sellers that receive an unusual amount of negative feedback due to clueless, uneducated or uninformed buyers, depending on the category of the sellers' items ("I thought this was for a XBox, not a Playstation- what's the difference?"). I don't hold that particular feedback against them, but then again, I tend not to buy anything from eBay unless I know exactly what I'm getting. When in doubt, it never hurts to send the seller an E-mail for more information.
In summary, if you're just buying things from time to time on eBay, 100%feedback is probably not that important. But if you're a seller, your rating can set expectations for your customers.

Guys! Somebody needs to body slam this guys shoty quality and keep others from getting burned! Otherwise, what's the point of learinging the lesson? To just keep learning it over and over and over again? Don't worry about the negative feedback thing, it doesn't mean squat! For Instance, a couple of weeks ago I won an auction for a low number 12" HELLBOY action figure from SideShow Collectibles for $29.00 bucks, not bad since they dont make them any more and they usually go for double that! But, then the Seller ( pinkeeleo ) wants to charge me $18.00 dollars to ship it from NY to WI, COME ON!:angry This thing doesn't even weigh a pound! What a friggin joke! So I told the seller he was trying to gough on the shpping end of things, because the figure went for alot less than they anticipated! So they leave me negative feedback, call me a deadbeat and that I should be blacklisted! So I look at the seller's feedback history and the next transaction they sold to another buyer got negative feedback and now it says that seller isn't even a user anymore. This all just happened in the last two weeks. So my point is, someone goes to look at my feedback and it's spotless and everbody else is singing my praises, then you see this one blemish, who care's! It's the other guy that looks like an idiot that's smokin' crack!!!
YOU GOTTA GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT YOU CAN TO, BRING THIS GUY DOWN!!!

Oh, I completely agree with you on those points. I will look at the feedback rating of a seller before I buy something, and if it doesn't give me a "warm fuzzy", then I'll pass on the auction.
But say it's something I want, and they have a 98.3% instead of 100%, I'll probably still bid. The total number of transactions figures into this too.

I know it seems that neagtive feedback means very little. But much like Batninja, I use rank sellers based off of that. And when you are like me, and hardly use ebay at all, one negative would KILL ME. That's why I try to warn people here. Besides, Ebay for some strange reason wouldn't let me leave feedback on amiadfilter (I gave him a month to send the stuff), so after a month, it pretty much expired, and acted like it never existed.

I wish I had read this post a few months ago before buying a bucket from Amiadfilter. This was my first bucket purchase and I didn't really have anything to compare the quality to, but it did seem rather sloppily made and not very good quality (very thin). Not to mention the jackass took like three and a half weeks to ship it to me. I had to send several nasty e-mails to him and he finally mailed it. I left negative feedback for the delay in shipping.
I was thinking about laying another layer of fiberglass resin on the inside of the bucket and reinforce with fiberglass sheeting - anyone had success with this type of modification for reinforcement and is it a good idea?

Wow, I just bought a bucket from this guy... I wish I would have known before hand... it turned out pretty good... I'm going to have to do ALOT of sanding however.
And the inside needs ALOT of work.
Thank fully he sent it to me quickly, but the resin parts he sent are pretty crappy, I'll need to purchase those again.
My biggest complaint was that his ebay auction said no sanding needed, but it's going to take alot of work!

The resin RF posts he supplies have been recasted from my aluminum ones. I contacted him a couple of times to stop this practice but now he just mentions in his auctions that the post doesn't come with the kit, but he supplies it anyways.
I believe Karma will get this guy one day.

I bought a helmet from him about a month ago and as soon as I opened the box, I requested a refund through Paypal and eBay. He responded back that he wouldn't send a refund until he received his helmet back, so I threatened him with selling me an item that wasn't as pictured (He's now selling a (MS bucket with the seperate keyholes for the back). Basically, we all could get refunds and shut him down for selling non-pictured items pretty quickly. I got my money back ASAP and now I have the worst bucket I've ever seen. If it's not too late, send requests through Paypal and you can get your money back for an item that wasn't pictured. Maybe, if we all work together, we can put him out of business for good. Karma is catching up to him.

I'm going to leave him feedback at the last possible minute, he's a known retliator. I have reported him to the proper people at Ebay and they are currently resolving several cases against him.
