Ok, Ive received a few negative feedbacks from the same buyer through no fault of my own. The seller mis-read the advert and said not as described when it clearly stated what it was for!

Anyway, out of interest, when your looking to buy an item, do you actually go onto their feedback and view the feedback scores and comments? If you do, and they have a few negatives/neutrals does this put you off buying from the seller? Or do you just bid purely on what up for sale and that listing alone?

I have over 1000 feedback so im still on 99%. I now have 3 negatives (all from this person) and 6 neutrals (again 3 from same person as delivery delayed due to buyer not collecting from courier depot!) over 4 years on ebay. Do you just look at the actual percentage and if thats ok, not bother looking at the actual comments or ratings?

Do other ebayers find themselves receiving more neutrals/negaives since they changed the rules meaning sellers cant leave bad feedback for buyers? Also, have sellers noticed that more people are bidding and then not paying as they know they cant get a negative from the seller now?

Input appreciated on this. Cheers
