    :eek: Would not have thought it would have been anything like that as if you get 1 negative it knocks a decent amount off your score but then it takes you an eternity to build back up

    I have 436 positive feedbacks and some non paying scammer (idiot) negged me and other sellers for a laugh so my rating is 99.8% so even though I only need 0.2 it will now take a while to get it back up

    Ebay make you laugh when they say that they will remove feedback if it meets certain criteria but I think they only remove it if the feel like it as it seems hard work for them, I have heard if you are abusive in your feedback or give personal information then they will remove feedback but don't know if they give you a warning or anything

    I've been stuck on 98.5 for ages now and havn't had a negative for about 6 months but I've had about 500 positives. I think you have to get a hell of a lot of positives to wipe one neg out.

    Yes your percent goes up but you will never get back to 100%.

    and looking at that guy, the 2000 figure quoted above would be about right

    Yes but if you look its because he had 3 ratings mutually withdrawn. Putting him back on 100%.
