That might be a very good idea as I see you seem to buy a lot of stuff from China... notorious for shipping that takes ages and ages to arrive, sometimes because it's been shipped slowly because of the mass of orders they do get, and very often simply because it just takes that long.
Lots of merchandise from China is cheapie junky merchandise, so although the photos seem pretty enough, there's a disappointment waiting when the package is opened.
Many China sellers are adept at getting unhappy buyers stalled long enough to make it past the length of time that negative feedback can even be left, and are also very adept at getting it removed, either by paying a buyer to remove it, or by finageling eBay to do so, one way or another.
Most China sellers are VERY good at knowing eBay policies, and knowing exactly how to apply them, which is more than most eBay buyers do. So even when buyers are very well protected, they often do so much wrong that they ruin any chances they might have had by their own handling of their complaint so poorly. Truth. Sorry about that.
You have left a whole lot of negative and neutral feedbacks for sellers over these past years in proportion to your received feedback numbers, but even more than that is that so often the positive feedbacks you leave have little digs and picky and even negative comments attached, so obviously THOSE didn't quite please you in one way or another either.
I think many of those are also sellers from China, so I might suggest that just because the prices are cheap, you might be happier in the long run to buy a bit less from sellers you are so often unhappy with.
