Why is it that so many Chinese sellers have got such bad feedback yet ebay still let them trade.

Is ebay blind to the fact that these chinese sellers have got horendus negitive feedback or is it a money thing i will not deal with them again.

HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW MANY CHINESE SELLERS  HAD  NEGATIVE FEEDBACK IN THE LAST MONTH? YOU WILL BE SUPPRISED AT THE NUMBER AS I WAS, TAKE YOUR PICK .UNTILL  I WAS BITTEN I  HAD NOT NOTICED THE NUMBER OF NEGATIVES. WHICH MUST NOT BE GOOD FOR EBAYS  REPUTATION!

I tend not to shout.

I don't buy much from eBay, as the things I buy are better bought in a real shop.

If I was to buy on eBay, I would certainly check the seller's feedback PRIOR to bidding/buying.

So, the onus is on the buyer to check BEFORE they buy, asd it always has been.

Caveat emptor.

International sales are at a higher risk of complaints especially due to cheap=slow shipping. Given that Chinese sellers are virttually all interbational sales with cheap/slow postage, as well as often cheap made items, it amazes me that they manage to keep their fb as high as they do.
