Holy mackerel. That guy's got 140 neg for the last month alone, and is averaging 70+ neg per month over the last year. Even accusations of selling stolen goods. It's a shame such a beautiful bass is in the hand of such a shite seller.

That's Ebay valet thing.
When a person is not capable to list his own item they'll ship it to them and they'll do the pics and listing for extra money.

And the greedy douche bags at Ebay have no problem with it 'cause he's averaging over 32,000 sales per year. So if he has over 32,000 sales/reviews and 800 are negative, that's roughly 2-1/2%. Not such a terrible percentage overall when you think about it the volume of money he's making for himself and Ebay. Just hope you don't end up in the 2-1/2 percentile.

Caveat emptor

Exactly. Despite it being a low percentage of sales, I would have expected that there would still be a minimum amount of negative transaction feedbacks that would be required to maintain "eBay Valet" status. I don't care how many items are being sold. If you are sending 140 bad products out the door every month with no satisfactory resolution, something is wrong.

I wonder if the middle-man seller isn't just inheriting something they know nothing about and taking the owner's word for the description.
