    Yes, but most people buy and sell at some point. So if they get an unpaid item strike when they are in the role of buyer, then I would definitely want to know about it when I am then considering purchasing something from them, as it is a very clear indicator that they are unreliable and untrustworthy. Given that you cannot leave feedback for someone when an unpaid item strike occurs, there is no trace that they have caused problems.

    Most regular users of ebay though who buy and sell will use different accounts, very few will buy and sell on the same account.

    Really? I didn't realise that - in fact I'm surprised it's allowed as it seems a little dishonest. Well I guess I am just glad that I'm not a regular eBay seller, as all it not what it seems :confused:

    It's not at all dishonest, it makes perfect sense not to use the same accountt both to buy and to sell and ebay allow us to have as many aco!!!!s as we want.

    I have several buying accounts, but only about three selling accounts now as I've shut down some of my lines and didn't need the different ID's.
