129 negatives IS terrible, regardless of the number of positives.

So are the 86 Neutrals, and if you read some them, they could very easily be negatives as well.

And after reading some of their negative feedback it appears this outfit also has a horrible cellar.

I think it actually represents an improvement for this seller as well. I remember him being in the 98's.

You do realize, like bid retractions, they eventually get removed. This guy, like Battlefield can never stay clean, they always have neutral and negative feedback.

Call me silly, but I'll stick with those that have very few neutral and negative feedback scores.
This last seller I just purchased from was clearly a mistake on my part. It won't happen again, I promise.

I assume by "they" you mean negatives. They do. The positives get removed too. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is that in the past 12 months the guy has had 24,997 transactions in which feedback was left and 24,782 were positive. That's 99.1% positive in the last 12 months. That's a pretty solid track record.

I do some selling on Ebay and I've learned that some buyers are just jerks...about 1 in a 100....which could explain why only 99 out of 100 of his transactions end happily ever after.

Not saying this guy couldn't clean up the one percent a little, but I think the evidence shows he's not intentionally trying to rip people off.

Now I get why you are trying so hard to defend them.

Of course there are jerks out there but please explain how many have perfect, or 100% positive feedback?

I'll tell you what... Go buy a group of cards from Battlefield0516. Same premise 15k+ positives and "only" 129 negatives. After you get your cards, closely inspect them and compare to the auction scans. EVERY ONE of them will have some kind of clean up done, some more than others. Flaws will be hidden, corners will be worse on the card than in the scan. If you can live with that then leave all the positives you want. But you can't tell me that seller, despite 15k positives, isn't a crook!

I couldn't agree more!

Exactly, because so many of those positives are people who aren't paying attention, don't bother leaving negative feedback or think it's just not worth it, or are just tolerant of customer service.

I left positive feedback for Battlefield after the first transaction. It was only one card and I didn't look close enough to see what was on the card but not on the doctored on the auction scan.

On a separate note, Irv, I called ebay to register a complaint about Battlefield and offered proof with photos I could email them, and full details if someone from their investigations would talk to me, via email or phone. Three weeks later I've heard from no one and received no emails.

Sadly, all 10 cards I returned were re-listed and sold before I got my refund. My refund was held the full 15 days Ebay allows because I left negative feedback. One of the cards was a 1960 Mantle AS. In addition to their normal "cleaning on the card scan", there were 2 spots on the back of paper loss. The auction description stated "absolutely no paper loss." That card was sold the next time for $264! I originally paid $72. Of course, that 2nd transaction received negative feedback as well. It never ends.

Totally flawed logic. Anyone who's ever provided a service of any kind knows a person is more likely to leave a review after a negative experience than they are after a positive one. That's a fact of doing business.
