Feedback Demand - is this the norm now?

Removal of a factual feedback comment by eBay could prevent other sellers from knowing that the buyer is being investigated by Police. If a seller checked a buyer's feedback, but warning comments were removed, and the seller entered into a transaction with the buyer (to later be defrauded by said buyer) then eBay could be charged with "obstruction" and possibly "aiding and abetting". A moot point but actions have consequences, even if by a large multinational (as Microsoft and eBay can attest to).

Are the details of police investigations a matter of public record?

But isn't that suggesting that the person is guilty of a crime? The police might have given it a crime reference number but it doesn't mean anything is going to happen until it is investigated and the CPS agree to prosecute. I can understand eBay having to supply any information required in law to the relevant authorities but can't see how they could leave such information on a public site?
