[i]Would you buy from someone with 2000+
positives and 5 negatives. Seems like good odds to me. Only 5 unsatisfied customers ( and 3 of them were
retaliatory feedback for deadbeat buers.) I like them odds.[/i]
Seems a bit two-faced to me.
You get to explain away your negative feedback ("3 of them were retaliatory", yet you automatically assume that someone who has 1500 negs has had 1500 justifiably-unhappy customers and, further, that they were unsatisfied because the seller has too much volume to contend with. What do you base your belief on? It doesn't look like experience. Let's do the math:
2000 auctions over four years (assuming generously that all your customers left feedback) only works out to about 42 auctions a month.
So it doesn't sound like you know anything about the challenges a high-volume seller might face.

Can you imagine what kind of feedback that most e-tailers would have if they used the eBay system and it was mandatory that they had to show it on their web site? I think most eBay sellers go out of their way to make the purchase a positive one for the buyer.

I don't think it is two faced. The original seller pegged in this thread is not here to tell his story, someone else started this thread. I would certainly listen to his reasons and before buying I would read the feedback. I have had many more sales than the feedback reflects. I do not go hunting for feedback and in all fairness disgruntled buyers and sellers are more likely to leave feedback than happy ones.
AS to high volume sellers, that is the point, if you cannot handle the volume, you need to reconsider your business practices. How can some of the high volume sellers do it???
