The battery seller I am talking about has sold a lot of product. I wish I could go on what you say here. The problem is that, of course I'm just guessing here, I bet most people understandably value their Ebay feedback and assume they will get retaliatory feedback if they give legit feedback to one of these companies. And then if they go ahead and do it, they are usually intimidated into removing it via tactics like I experienced here. Now, it should be obvious, but I will add that I am only talking about one Ebay battery seller here. And maybe what we need is a thread where we share user names of the Ebay companies that people have had good and bad experiences with. I do think it's a bit of a crap shoot at this point. I have seen earlier threads here on this subject, but I haven't seen much specific mention of the better companies to deal with. I must emphasize here that the risk you take with them is not necessarily the low quality and the hidden costs that end up showing up on the bottom line. The bigger risk IMO is that you will not be able to give legitimate negative feedback (if you feel that way) unless you are willing to have them stick you with the same and then say, well I'll remove yours if you remove mine. I guess to some extent it depends on what kind of Ebay we want to have. I know, I'm dreamin here, but what if there was real feedback on there?
