Yes, having come back to ebay recently after time away, the sheer volume of Chinese sellers is an eye opener.
I must admit I have purchased a fair few (30) items from them in the last couple of months, partly just to get a feel
for what they are selling and the quality level and I can't think of one that had over 99.5% positive feedback with
some a lot worse.
So far (touch wood) haven't had anything go missing but a couple are overdue.
Fakes - hard to stop for sure.unless it is a registered trademark, then you can stop them (or at least have the listing removed).
Re "very low defect rate"
How do you see a sellers "defect rate" ? I can see the gold stars ........
I buy mineral specimens from China (amongst other places) and most of my regular sellers have 100% feedback. The few that don't have 100% have got negs for really stupid things. One copped a neg because the outside packaging was dirty. Someone else got a neg because they spelt the buyers name wrong.
I guess it depends on what you're buying. The junk sellers seems to have lots of negs.
