Private feedback is a red flag ABSOLUTE GUARANTEE you are dealing with a === Not really. I have a favorite seller who has her feedback private. Not sure why. She has no negatives. She also keeps her buyers’ identities private. She doesn’t sell porn or such–just high end items of a particular category. Maybe she doesn’t want spouses / gift recipients to find out how much was spent? She doesn’t want her Momma to know she’s buying lingerie.
=== Nope–Not lingerie either. ===

Not anymore. It used to be that they had to remove the whole thing, but now they can remove just the response. — Joanne

I have some issues with a bad buyer I haver to resolve before making my feedback public again. he said some bad things that were not all true. and I just need to corect this situation. So if your buyer was at fault and you responded factually to his feedback in your profile then what have you to hide? If there are lies in your feedback and you have responded with a statement to that fact that any level headed person will see the neg for what it is and ignore it.
Neil has it right, tiktak. Hiding all of your reputation because of one person’s opinion makes no sense.

If a seller has private feedback, I won’t buy from them… (IMHO, bad idea in any case.)

The only time I was ever burnt bad was from a seller with private feedback. I was new to eBay, and didn’t know better. But, I’ll never buy from someone like that again.

So if your buyer was at fault and you responded factually to his feedback in your profile then what have you to hide? If there are lies in your feedback and you have responded with a statement to that fact that any level headed person will see the neg for what it is and ignore it. Anyone who does not is the sort of person you don’t want as a customer anyway. However if the buyer There is no reason for private feedback due to negative comments unless you have something you don’t want others to see that will give them the impression that you’re a wanker. In fact there is no real reason for private feedback at all, some people think it will stop others from seeing what they are buying but they forget about the advanced search facility that shows what they are bidding on never mince only the auctions they win. — Niel H

Absolutely keep it public. If your feedback stinks THAT much, open a new account and sell from there. I would definitely trust much more a zero-feedback seller, that a private-feedback seller. And there are good reason for this. Scammers keep the feedback private and/or private auctions to avoid that people can inform each other. AS

<< I have some issues with a bad buyer I had a situation with a seller a year or so ago. I bought six items from him in six auctions which all closed at the same time. Before I could pay for the items, I was unexpectedly called away on business. Due to the nature of my work, I was unable to take care of these auction items until I returned home. I immediately e-mailed the seller, aplogized for the delay and said I was ready to pay; all I needed was a grand total. He e-mailed me back and said he had tried to e-mail me for two weeks and got no reply. He relisted the items and left six neg. feedbacks on my profile. I e-mailed him repeatedly attempting to resolve the situation to his satisfaction and all I wanted in return was to have the negs withdrawn. I offered to pay for the items even tho they were already sold to someone else. I offerd to pay the fees from each auction. This guy became beligerant and I was offering him money! I gave him several chances to avoid my leaving negs for him. He said go ahead. So I did. Then he responded to the negs by calling me names. Anyway, my point is, I got this big chunk of negs and took my lumps. I kept it open for all to see. I truly believe that beecause I did not hide my feedback, potential buyers trusted me. My sales did not suffer from this. Some e-mailed me and asked for details which I freely shared. They were appreciative for my openness. Tom

It’s somewhat of a turnoff to me, but if the feedback number and percentage rating can still be seen and is considerably high, I would not completely rule out buying from someone with private feedback. Why would you _want_ to have your feedback private?
