just the percentages. Go to the feedback pages and look at the comments.
Sometimes people will leave a "positive" feedback token but the comment
contains some less–than–flattering remarks like "Took a long time..." or
"Nice, but not new as claimed...", etc. And also look for "mutually
withdrawn" numbers.

Shoes sold on Ebay
fivefe...@yahoo.com
2/15/2006 12:01:45 AM
I am bidding on a pair of shoes. I noticed that just about every pair
of shoes the seller has ever sold has something like this in the
description, "These are true first quality (brand name) and were
purchased by me at a Chicago area department store."
Her history shows she has sold a lot of shoes. How could every single
pair be purchased new and then resold on Ebay for likely less money?
Am I slow today and not thinking of something obvious? Am I just
paranoid/suspicious for no reason? Do I need to read Ebay For Dummies?

LOL! NO way! you're not a dummy! I think what you're saying makes
perfect sense. I suggest if you do business with her to thoroughly
research her return policy. This way if you receive them worn, you can
get your money back. Or you can just let her know of your suspicion.
If she really wants to sell them she'll offer you some type of
explanation. Hope this helps!

Are the shoes all new? If she's selling some new and some slightly used
shoes, she may just be a shopoholic unloading her extras. I've done a
bit of that myself...
