Here's an interesting story:
Last week, a customer won a $2 item from me. He pays immediately by Paypal and leaves me feedback very shortly after that. Of course, I haven't sent the item yet, which raises flag #1. He e-mails me and emphasizes that he really would like me to leave positive feedback because he needs to get to 10. Flag #2. I look at his feedback history, and all his feedback is related to items less than $3. Flag #3, so I put him on my watch list. Sure enough, two days later he has ten items listed: all camcorders, digital cameras, etc. Two days after that, he's NARU.

intersting twist
Before feedback had to be tranasctional realted I was in the ebay cafe one day and some guy comes on ...Just lost his job needs to support his family wants to run dutch auction but needed a feedback OF TEN
Soemone else ...a shill maybey ...comes on and says he folks lets help him out and sure enough in 5 mintues he gets 15 glowing feedbacks from folks in the cafe who now nothing about him other than he just posted a sob story
I followed his id for a while and he was ripping folks off right and left finally NARU
