If he gets a negative, it would show but the comment would be private and the item description would not show. It would not say 100% positive. So if that "sex toy " does not work, the buyer can post a negative and no would know what was the item if it's a private ad.
He has all of the feedback from buying. Ebay doesn't separate it feedback from buying or selling. This account has NEVER sold anything. If I start selling, it would show the feedback above and 100%. And before someone writes, ONLY sellers can get negatives.
Some sellers set their feedback to private because of what they sell. We don't know what you are looking at so cannot comment on the why's. Unless the seller has it set to automatically leave feedback for every sale, it is not automatic for every seller. Sellers can only leave positive feedback for their buyers.
his feedback in marked private so he not allowed to sell, why would anybody do that ubless they were covering up bad feedback?
Because they don't want anybody to back-track through their feedback to see what they have bought? If you go to the feedback that a member has left, then look up that comment in the seller's feedback, you can see the listing title.

Because they are buying sensitive items and they are worried the seller will leave feedback identifying that they bought seggs toys. Or fetish diapers. Or pink furry handcuffs.
Not what I meant. The OP seemed to describe someone with literally zero feedback, so that's how I answered.
If they are just a buyer, ALL buyers have 100% Positive feedback, because they can ONLY receive Positive feedback. No seller can leave Negative or Neutral feedback for a buyer.

·3 years agoYou can set your listings to private. But you can't set your feedback history to Private if you have any active listings.

OP3 years agohes not a seller only buys and has all feedback private. so you dont know anything about his record if everything is automatically positive. right?
soh.maryl
·3 years agoActually, since buyers cannot be given negative or neutral feedback, you wouldn't know anything about his record, even if he did have feedback.

·3 years agoKeep in mind too, not all buyers leave feedback.

·3 years agoLook at it this way instead: Everyone STARTS with 100% because it wouldn't be fair to start everyone with 0% rating.

·3 years agoActually, anybody who has not gotten any feedback within the past 12 months shows as 0% feedback.

·3 years ago"Seggs toys" are not the ONLY item for which a buyer would prefer that his feedback be private.

OP3 years agoso he could really have 100% bad feedback if its marked private and a seller would think he is 100% positive. correct?

OP3 years agothats just bad policy, they could be scamming sellers and no one would know ever know about it. or what am i missing?

·3 years agoNO. 100% positive means 100% positive just like it says.
