How and why is it possible to hide feedback this thoroughly? | Selling

I was on the fence about a buyer's offer, so I decided to check out their feedback, see if they're rough on sellers. But I've never seen this before, no visible comments whatsoever, not even 'left for others.' They have no items for sale and no Sold's history. But apparently they've had 2224 positive feedbacks as a buyer. So I'm assuming they did something in their settings to conceal everything but the numbers. This definitely does not sit well. First of all what does a buyer-only have to hide, when they can't receive negatives and it doesn't even show what items they bought in the sellers' positive comments? Secondly, why does eBay enable hiding feedback left for others, when it's obviously useful information (like for a seller considering an offer)? Incidentally when I said I was on the fence about their offer, it wasn't the amount (it was reasonable) but because they made it via email, as I do not (yet) have 'Make Offer' enabled on this item, just posted it a couple hours ago. I used to have a real stick up my butt about people sending email offers, but eventually I stopped being so irritated by it and even accepted a few because they were reasonable, and they were good buyers. But this one, I'm not only ignoring; they're going to my BBL. -Oh that's another thing, their username is a totally random-looking string of numbers and letters. I don't trust 'em!!
