When buying on ebay, carefully scrutinize feedback. Use the sort button, and just look for feedback as a "seller". Feedback as a buyer is meaningless.

This particular seller has been active on ebay for over 10 years. Anyone active that long has figured out what is required to keep customers happy (and not get lousy feedback!!), yet he is still getting a ton of negative feedback! This is a pretty clear signal, AVOID!

7 neutrals and 13 negatives in the last six months = don't bid on this guy's auctions! And read some of those neutrals and negatives. Its one thing if the seller charges too much on shipping, or has heartburn from one buyer, but feedback like this:

"I haven't received the item nor any response from the seller regarding shipping."

"Have not recieved my order, no response from seller!"

"Did not ship after payment. Did not reply to emails. Did not receive item. Avoid"

"Poor comms, sent wrong item, Case filled, Refunded"

"Not happy. I bought WHITE buttons got GREEN buttons. Over a month to deliver"

"Spindle not for thick cups. No communication. Had use buyer protect. AVOID!"

"caution con man"

"Item was cracked and in bad condition."

Someone as active as this seller, for as long as they has been selling, should be working to attain and keep top rated plus seller status. This takes superb service, and the seller is rewarded by ebay with some sweet discounts! Good for both buyers and sellers.
