Maybe not a big deal, but interesting to note that ebay is starting to delete item #'s on feedback prior from 1999 and earlier.

Wow... seems a lot of users that are no longer registered. All or most had great feedback... it looks like they just walked away.

are these sellers with 3000-10,000 feedback selling 99 cents CD or low priced items?
The more they sell,the more money they lose.
Selling on Ebay is not a profitable business,most of us are either in denial or too ?? to admit.

Some probably had to go out and get real jobs. Yuck....that may be what I have to do.

Some could have maxed out on their credit cards,
I remember years ago anything everything sells and sells for good money so some sellers will buy many from wholesalers and set up auto listing unleashing 5000 items per month and then the biddings get lower and lower,first they barely made enough to pay Ebay and wholesalers,then they dont make enough so their credit card debt piled up and finally they have to call it quit.
Those days will never come back, a 75 cents stone pendant sold for 50 dollars?

This is nothing unusual. If I go way back in my feedback I find large numbers of NARUs.
Death is not an adequate reason to get you suspended at eBay. Someone has to report it. My Stage IV Lupus patient/customer who died in the middle of a bunch o' transactions wasn't NARU'd until months later. (She stiffed a lot of people...if you'll excuse the expression.)
