I've been looking at some of the big companies that have relatively recently adopted eBay stores. I'm taking about the companies that have long established bricks and mortar stores. Most of ones I checked have pretty woeful feedback (and some star ratings). The three I looked at were all in the 98% (98.2, 98.4)
The three I looked at were two electrical appliance retailers and a car accessories supplier.
Their high amounts of neg/neutral feedback came with comments from many disgruntled customers.
It makes me wonder if these sellers are really suited to selling on eBay and their feedback is pretty damning for the companies (which I had never heard any bad feedback when they were just B&M stores).
I'd be pretty devastated as a seller if I had their feedback & defects & I'd probably have limitations on my account (and the 21 day PayPal funds hold).
No doubt there are a separate set of rules for these companies however.

It is not that many years ago that I was in the Lladro section of the store and I noticed one of the staff members looking at me. She was an elderly lady but something looked familiar about her. I went over and asked if I should know her from somewhere. She replied that she recognised me from the time when Peter's was a small gift shop on the other side of the street.....the staff consisted of Peter and his wife and she was the junior assistant.
That made me feel rather ancient to say the least of it.
