I  have  been  an  ebay  customer  for  over  10  years  and  realized over  the  years  that  especially seller  with  500  feedbacks  or  more  obviously  have  a  way  how  to  keep  their  positive  feedback  clean.   To  me  it  looks  like  ebay  gives  them  special   treatment  removing  any  negatives,  since  these  customers  mean  so  much  cash flow  for  ebay.

Just  one  example:  Look  at the  feedbacks  for  user "infinity enterprises"  -  this  guy  claims that he has  had  over 1500 happy  customers  on ebay.  However his  feedback rating is only 735.  If  you  take a  closer  look  you  will  see  that  any  rating that  obviously  was not  positive,  was  withdrawn. Sometimes  with  a  so  called  "mutual  consent"  which is  questionable.  I  gave  a  negative  to a  car  dealer  in the past  and  it  was  removed  with  this  "mutual  consent"  note  without  me  ever  agreeing to  it  or  being  notified.   I  believe  that  the  so  called  "Feedback"  on  ebay  is  consumer  fraud  because  it  tries  to  make  people  believe  that  nobody  ever  had  a  bad  experience  with  a  particular  dealer,  even  if  this  is  not  true.

I  have  seen  these  kind  of  feedbacks  with other  "Performance  dealers"   many  times.   Buyers  followed  up  on  their  feedbacks  explaining  that  they  were  extorted  or  threatened   to  give  a  positive.  If  I  look  at  the  feedback  for  a  particular  dealer   I  don't  care  about  any  positives,  I  only  look  for  negatives  or  for  "mutually  withdrawn"   feedbacks.  Ebay  does  not  even  give  you an  option  to  select  only  negative  feedbacks,  even  if  it  would  be  a  piece  of  cake  for their  programmers.
