I just had someone bid on an item of mine, and as always, I check out the feedback they've left for other people. I noticed he had left a red dot for someone for item not received. I decided to see what that sellers feedback was to see if the buyers red dot was justified. OMG!!! Out of 15 feedback, 6 were red dots for item not received, 1 was a grey dot for significantly not as described and several of the green dots were for not received. Now....the DSR, WOW......item as described - 3.0/5.0 from 13 ratings, communication - 2.8/5.0 from 13 ratings, postage time - 2.5/5.9 from 11 ratings and postage cost - 4.4/5.0 from 15 ratings. Current feedback percentage 77.8%. I don't think I've ever seen anything quite so appalling! I've never seen the line of stars looking so white and I've done a fair bit of buying over the years. Interestingly, they have nothing listed at the moment!
I guess this person is who we should aspire NOT to be.

I think they have no listings because
ebay won't let you sell with stars that
are dinged so badly
77.8% doesn't wash with ebay

I should have mentioned that my comment about the no listings was sarcasm. I'm surprised that it was even allowed to get that low before they were restricted. The last red dot was only left a few days ago, although looking at her completed listings, she hasn't sold anything since May. It doesn't look like she's a buyer on that account, so hopefully no-one needs to worry about her being a bad buyer too!
And to think, I thought my life was over when my 5 star ratings dropped to 4.9!!!

LOL, yes, I think the little gifs do make a difference! I'm still looking around at them on different sites.
