He had a 98.5% rating. The last bad ratings came in after he quit selling I bet. He is/was #330 on the top 500 feedback ratings too. Like the Everly Brothers once rang " It Hurts To Watch Good Love Go Bad ".

Ebay already has stringent requirements to list items in the wine and medical equipment categories. Why don't they simply require a $50,000 bond to list in the computer category? It would probably result in a 95% drop in consumer complaints to the FTC and make for more favorable press for Ebay. At the very least, it would seperate the crooks from the honest sellers.

Looks like this guy got burned on his " 99 cent ~ no reserve" sales technique...can't stay in biz very long selling 'puters for $42!! I don't think his intent was malicious - if you look at the sales prices on the negatives - he wasn't getting rich!

I agree with that last post. The guy may have just given up and didn't care about the last auctions or he may have went broke. A lot of sellers pay mega ebay fees every month and they have trouble paying their bills in the down economy and weak ebay selling market. I wonder how many other sellers in that top 500 are gone. I bet ebay knows.

Jack..There is no link that I know of. The wine category is a beta that only a select few registered sellers can sell in. They have to have a liquor or wine seller's license in their home state and include some Ebay approved text in their auctions, in addition to agreeing to acceptfull liability for any laws that may get violated. As far as the medical equipment category, anything subject to FDA approval can only be listed by a bonafied dealer or business that is licensed to dispense these devices, and they have to inclede their entire business name and address plus some other required (by Ebay) wording in the description. I don't have the link any more, but Ebay mailed it to me when they nuked one of my auctions for a neuro-stimulator a few months back

I agree with neglus. This is a prime example of the limits to "eBay selling success".
Unless you have a product that no one can copy or undercut the price or also buy from the same wholesaler, eBay is not the way to build or maintain a long term viable business.
