oooo....oooooo........ooooooo.........but........but.........he has 100% feedback!!
 
The ebay system is pretty well designed to give most people 100% feedback. Most sellers wait to get their positive feedback before giving the buyer positive feedback. Therefore buyers are deterred from giving true feedback (where it would be neutral or negative) in some cases in case they get negative feedback in return.

I always admire those vendors who give positive feedback to buyers before the buyer leaves theirs. Very rare but it does happen.

I imagine this seller intends to go back later to complete the entry. Otherwise I don't know who they expect to bid.
 
I think a lot leave 'tactical' feedback. The fun ones are where very negative feedback comments are left but with a positive feedback score. Users can risk doing this with large scale sellers who often have automatic feedback setup, i.e. once item is paid for and positive feedback is received then they leave automatic positive feedback. Of course the vendors computer can't read or understand the comments.

Having said that, I enjoy ebay when I get time, especially for hard to get items. I've also sold quite a lot of horse gear (with better descriptions/photos than this example) where I've had zero response to putting it on the yard noticeboard. I've always had positive feedback to date (-for what it's worth). It does help when you are selling though - and it's always nice to get good feedback.
 
to me it sounds like these people don't know what they're listing.. stolen? :P
i hate it when people don't bother to describe things and expect them to sell! and when they have things in black and brown and show only the black! i need to know what shade of brown!
