Ebay profile check

Love that moment when someone spends a little bit extra for your high priced BIN, and then you check their profile and they have a rich history of buying and selling high dollar cards. What a relief!!

Again - wish these guys could have badges or something to ID them as pros. Also wish the returners & problem buyers could be more easily identifiable as well.

    One thought on this: you'll notice that more often, a seller will agree to a lower best-offer if it comes from an account with a great buying history but no selling, as compared with what they agree to for an account that is a seller account. Definitely true that a bit of disparity exists when selling to a collector vs. to a seller who might want to flip the item.

    Ebay used to have a "problem buyer identification system" whereby sellers could leave negative feedback for buyers. Some sellers abused it, but overall it worked quite well in my opinion.

    However years ago Ebay eliminated it, and of course now sellers can only leave positive feedback for buyers which rendered it very close to useless.

    Regardless of not being able to leave buyer negative feedback, I wish ebay would have a visible count on each ID for # Unpaid Item Strikes and also # of bid retractions. Additonally, I'd like ebay to issue an automatically generated negative feedback left by their system to a buyer who gets an unpaid item strike for that associated item.
