100% on 135 items.

Sounds even more dodgy in that case if you ask me.
at how suspicious people are on here. after 135 transactions they have 100% positive feedback, meaning nobody has been disappointed out of 135 transactions. what gives people the idea that a buyer/seller is dodgy just because they haven't responded within 3 days. not everybody is an internet whore. maybe she didn't check her ebay account for a few days? i very rarely check my ebay account, even when i am selling i wont log on every day as i don't have time. some people just have wayyyyy too much paranoia

Yeah, because Ebay has zero fraud on it and it pays to be trusting of everyone on there.
Dont be stupid, you're the sort who some dodgy Nigerian is dreaming of finding so he can take you for all the monies you have. Fact is Ebay is riddled with dodgy cunts, accounts with good feedback are hacked all the time and used to sell stuff to people.
If someone has enough time to sell something on ebay then they should have enough time to go on for 5mins and answer any questions - not take 3 days before going back on to see whats happening.

Someone could very very easily "sell" 135 items for pennies to a "buyer" to get excellent feedback before scamming a lot of money.

Hope it's something with a big turbo instead of a boring n/a wasp engine.

Your feedback only goes up one everytime you buy off a different seller/ sell to a different buyer

Yeah, and you could buy/sell 135 things for a £1 or less. Then scam for loads. Ebay is easy to scam from if you wanted to do it.

If someone has enough time to sell something on ebay then they should have enough time to go on for 5mins and answer any questions - not take 3 days before going back on to see whats happening.
as said, if you were to try this scam then you would need to create 135 different ebay accounts how much time do you think these badgers have surely if they were gonna spend all that time creating 135 different accounts they may aswel go and get a job as they will have to do it all over again once the account is blocked. plus for a simple fact doing that 135 times would involve some serious ebay fees.
plus i resent the fact you saying i am the sort who some dodgy nigerian is dreaming of finding.
1. your blatantly generalising and effectively being racist. . . there are white british people who scam aswel!
2. im not daft enough to purchase anything off of someone who has blatantly been thick and sold an item to the same person 135 times thinking it would get them 135 positive feedback. i always check a sellers feedback history to make sure there is nothing dodgy, and any negative feedback i read to see what the problem is.. so don't start saying 'i'm the type of person these people are waiting for' when you know naff all about me.
fact is you're just blatantly paranoid. i just have one question for you how many spliffs you had today then?
like i said not everyone has time to go on the internet everyday. or maybe the seller has been to busy arguing with some paranoid person on a forum, thus taking their attention away from logging onto ebay to check messages, causing them to forget. oh wait, that sounds awfully familiar

Steven_r, what has the number of spliffs smoked got to do with anything? How many speed bombs have you been doing to give a reply like that?

tbh I read the first line where he think you'd have to create 135 accounts and couldnt stop laughing whilst reading the rest.
You've just backed up my opinion that you are a Nigerian's wet dream.

Its fun to let people play the guessing game. I know how frustrating it is when other people do it so I enjoy having the chance

that steven guy is a twat.
someone hacked my ebay account when i had about 15 positive feedback and started selling mobile phones with it.
obviously they didn't send them so i had to phone up and report it.
it's easily done, you don't need to create 135 ebay accounts for 135 positive feedback. they just hack an account.
