I have not had a single bad experience with buying from eBay sellers with >99.8% feedback, but multiple bad experiences buying unusual items from <99% sellers that I couldn't find with better sellers. It's worked well for me.
- rorykoehler 10y agoGenerally on ebay I assume you are buying a mass produced product. If you receive it in time and it's not broken then you're happy? How about more subjective things like Yelp reviews? Edit: I don't buy on ebay however rating brigading has made reviews/ratings on amazon practically useless for products I've never used before.
- qq66 10y agoGenerally, I'm buying old camera equipment (25-60 years old). The condition of these items varies widely. The 99.8% sellers take every trouble to find every scratch / fleck of dust / etc. and photograph/document it. The <99% sellers take photos in more flattering light and don't mention things that wouldn't be grounds for a dispute. I only buy from a <99% seller if the item can't be found elsewhere. For Yelp, I've found that a 4+ star restaurant with >100 reviews is almost always good, although I wouldn't say that I can detect a difference between 4-star and 5-star places.
