yfei07 has 84.5% positive feedback, but he seems to sell Chinese fakes.
I never purchase from those with less than 99.8% positive feedback. That being said, that alone is no guarantee to avoid fraud, only education is. There are numerous hucksters and criminals on eBay, as with many other sites.
Reported to get it shut down.

The feedback algorithm is a joke. It doesn't differentiate feedback for buying or from selling. You can buy 1 thing or 100 things, and never sell a thing, and get 100% feedback (a buyer never gets negative feedback). Furthermore, feedback is not weighted based on sale price or other factors, and it also ages off quickly. Negative feedback rolls off your current record.
Being an avid merchant - both buyer and seller - I have developed a knack for determining fraudsters and it's rather nuanced. Dealing with hacked accounts is the most difficult to prevent.

No, it's gone after reporting.
The seller went the volume sales method selling them for less $8.00 and quantity discounts instead of auction method where they no doubt could have gotten more.
Good to see EBAY actually take down and item,seller also has an ASE eagle for sale as well.
Said 40 or so were sold lets see how many auctions and posts here will show up.
just noticed the ASE
not sure what to do about that
$14.66 each!
