I recently read a post by Ebay user info_s**4u telling people to stay away from any Ebay user who does not have 100% feedback.  Basically, reading the post "PROTECT YOURSELF ON EBAY" seems to be written by an unhappy Ebay user who cannot even claim to have the magical 100% positive feedback (their feedback is 97.1%).  The author goes on to manipulate this forum/guide by listing several web sites outside of Ebay that are libelous to Ebay and its users.  The author even goes so far as to tell you how to list the sites in the guide without the policing of Ebay.  Amazing.

Well, since I was skeptical I checked out one of the sites, only to find it impossible to navigate from all of the pop up advertisements.

What is the bottom line here?  Take all of the advice you get (even mine) with an open mind.  Be smart.  Do your homework.  Use common sense.  Let us all try to make Ebay a productive and fun place to trade and do business.  If you aren't happy about something, you can always to go the Site Map and delete your account.  Some people are doom and gloom and misery loves company. 

Let's move on and have a great time.
