For a while I did some buying of stuff on eBay to jump-start our museum. One
thing I learned is to look at the feedback score of a seller. Anything less
than 99% should be a huge red flag unless the seller has only a few deals,
in which case one misunderstanding can kill the number. 

255 transactions is enough to get a good picture. < 98%. Run, don't walk, to
the nearest exit. At the very least this guy is going to be argumentative.
Also note that not a single one of those negatives was resolved
satisfactorily.

HTH,

Gil
