If generic NPB buyer feedback was linked to the successful closure of NPB disputes then this thread would not exist.

The OP would not have had their bad experience, the numpty non paying bidder would not be able to buy, the previous negative positive ffedbacks would have been strikes rather than words on paper

.......... THAT LEAVE A HUGE BREADCRUMB TRAIL AND HIGHLIGHTED A SERIAL  NPB TO ALL THAT READ THIS THREAD.................................. (IS THAT NOTHING////////)

 and ebay would not have profited from all those extra relist fees :|...... or the profit gleaned from all those external ads that surround sellers items......... 

a system designed to fail will generally do exactly that....

I wonder if ebay consider it a failure if they still profit from it ?:|???.......
