Fake Reviews

Attention Ebay! Ebay needs to do something about so many positive fake reviews. Otherwise people would be avoiding ebay because of the trust issue. Some positive fake reviews are so obvious as on the seller site. I wonder how high with the ones not so obvious. Thank you.

Not sure why you are posting 'Attention eBay' here?

Nobody from eBay staff read here, no matter what their blurb says

Common knowledge that all websites either have fake,positive reviews or never publish the negative ones

Plus, as you agreed not to name and shame when you joined to forum, a mod will remove the seller/site name when one is next on line

People need to exercise common sense when buying from any website

And that seller has not even sold anything yet

As for people avoiding eBay, that is like saying people will avoid drinking because some people have issues with booze

Ain't going to happen

It is with good reason that you cannot name and shame on the boards.....the seller you have mentioned does not have any reviews on any of the items I looked at.

With a feedback score of 96.6% I woiud not even think of buying from them anyway.

Are you sure you are not confusing reviews with feedback?
