    You can make feedback private. It is in the feedback preferences. But once you have done it you can't change it back again.
    What, never? :eek:

    Edit: If that really is true, it would be nice of them to warn you here or here.

    You can revert to public feedback.
    I had a friend change her feedback to private becuse of an defamatory comment from an aggrieved buyer.
    She mange to have it removed by Ebay and changed her feedback to public again..

    I would leave that one alone and save your pennies.

    Feedback should not be private and why would he/she want to hide if if they had nothing to hide!?

    Hmm sounds dodgey

    I've seen (and bought from) worse. It's the private feedback that puts me off. If you could see what those negs were for, then the seller might not look so bad, but you just don't know.

    You can see what the negs are for, there is a way of getting round private feedback. Depending on whether they are a buyer or seller use this,

    http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQtZvbQQsofindtypeZ2

    You put their ID in, which brings up the list of auctions they have bought or sold in. In this case seller, then just click on the buyers feedback star and when that brings up the buyers feedback, you just click on "left for others" and look for the feedback they have left for the seller, rat-bag-co-uk in this case.

    Most of his feedback looks good,

    I wouldn't buy from them, but it's up to you if you are prepared to loose the money - the good feedback may be bought - yes you can buy feedback
