Facts: You can't receive negatives as a buyer. Only buying accounts can have private feedback.
Does that mean Ebay will remove any negatives if you make your account a buying account with private feedback?
Otherwise how do you explain the selling history with private feedback?
I'm not sure what you mean: you don't "switch" from a selling account to a buying account. You can buy and sell on the same account.
Yes, I know buyers can receive only positive feedback. But, again, I think you've misunderstood "buying accounts" in regard to private feedback. I can sell, sell, sell on an account, but if I choose to switch to private feedback, I can no longer sell on that account--that doesn't mean it's been "switched" to a "buying account." And no, eBay will not remove negative comments when a member makes feedback private.
Many members utilize separate accounts for buying, selling and/or posting. Some sellers utilize separate accounts for selling different types of items or different price ranges of items, etc., to organize their own business in a way that is most efficient for them; however, they could still buy (or post) with any one of those accounts. There is no "official" eBay recognition of "buying" and "selling" or "posting" accounts. None of the accounts are treated differently by eBay.
Only the OP can explain why s/he switched the account to private feedback. Perhaps in anticipation of future negative feedback from the scammers who are eating him/her alive? Perhaps s/he didn't realize that switching to private feedback prohibits further selling on the account? Who knows.
