I buy on E-bay very rarely - prefer to pay more and buy from a reputable dealer. But in some cases i have to, so I have maybe 10 feedbacks over the past 10 years - all positive, of course.
I sell a lot of macs on ebay and I get A LOT of people just like this. Very rare buyers that are willing to pay a bit more to buy from a seller with a rep like mine (over 1000+ and not a single neg in 11 years) - and they are pretty much my favorite group.
'Serial' ebay buyers - people that buy EVERYTHING on ebay (and hence have a large, perfect fb record) can be some of the most bothersome.
"...and there are many who buy a few items five years ago and then a computer..."
these buyers are a rather sizable portion of my sales...
PLUS consider the simple fact that most scammers don't open the bidding on items that have a long time to go before they're done - they go for the BIN deals and press the seller to send it overnight - 'money is no object'.
