Ok, it's almost 2 a.m. my time and I can't sleep. What do you think about sellers who list tons (meaning thousands) of items yet won't show their feedback? One I keep up with never seems to get many sales. Prior to going "private" this seller had many negatives.

I guess for me, like another posted, any negatives I have or may get in the future would be a learning experience and I'd hope that all the positive ones showed bidding prospects I was worth taking a risk on.

By the way if you're curious on who I'm following (maybe I should get that "find info on anyone" cd, ha ha) just email me.

I hate private feedback... see no reason for it.

There are actually a few very legitimate reasons for private feedback (besides hiding negs).

If someone doesnt want to want me see his/her feedback then I wont bid on their auctions. I would rather bid on an auction from someone with no feedback them someone who hides what other think of them. Feedback is there to tell you how well you can trust someone. If they are hiding their feedback then what is it they dont want you to see???

I agree with sweil. If sellers want my bids, they will have open feedback!

I've never come across anyone with private feedback *touch wood* i would be wary though of anyone who was hiding fb.

In general most people think it's a bad idea to go private.

I have read about newbies making their fb private because eBay suggest its an option when sorting out disputes. Not good.
