Members without scruples- a continuation


This is a continuation of a discussion started by Sagger on 01/11/02:
Regarding Audiogon's feedback policy, how is a potential buyer going to research a seller's (or vice versa)feedback rating to determine its validity? The very real possibility exists that an unscrupulous person could create multiple accounts, then leave positive feedback for a main account. Once that positive feedback is established in the main account, the person could use that account to hurt other members.

I would say that on Ebay about 15% of the sellers are either non-professional or thieves. I have seen many auctions go down, most good, some not so good. Of course on Ebay, you have a lot of pawn shops listing, who not have a clue about their stuff. A problem the Ebay system however, is that people are afraid to bash sellers because the feedback is usually sent back at them!

I am a big fan of TALKING personally, with anyone with whom I am looking at a potential large purchase. GOOD LUCK.
Perhaps I am naive, but I most people to be honest.
