quote:As a buyer, I felt uncomfortable purchasing from such sellers.
Well that was your choice and visible on the sellers profile, I always check out an unfamiliar seller if I intend bidding on an expensive item, just like I wouldn't buy a car from a dodgey geezer down the pub !
And if the seller lost sales that is his personnally inflicted problem.
This scenario of crippled feedback is one thrust upon us by greed and those that have a vested interest in not upsetting greedbay because their business is significantly dependent on them.
Still that's business dog eat dog !
