yes, but not sure everyone starts with £130 ... everyone buys small consumables eg batteries/T-shirts/... before they move onto 'big' stuff. - no ?

Don't do it OP. My matesold to a 0 feedback person once - the bloke turned up on his doorstep holding a stripey beach towel, and then ate my mate's cat.

5+ feedback or go home. Unless you hate your pets, I guess.

I started at 0 feedback once. Back in January 2001. I even remember the first item I bought:

An Aeris (even though they spelt it Aerith) wall scroll.
Blatant thread hijack.
But relevant.
True story bro.

Surely you buy what you want to buy, no?

Still too soon for me to talk about Aeris

we have just as many issue with people with 100 / 1000's of feedback as those with zero. Some people are honest and other arnt, the feedback no marker on what kind of person is buying.

echeque payment does not mean anything either, its just how their account is set up to pay via paypal.

After all these years of buying stuff on eBay (never sold) I've only just looked at what my rating is.
I've only ever bought stuff so I would have been shocked if I was less than 100%.
I had no idea I was actually rated.

as a buyer you can't be anything other than 100% as sellers cannot leave negative feedback about poor buyers.
