Fake feedback

The winner of one of my auctions stated they were paying by cheque but it has not come so far.:confused:
Did a little investigation regarding their feedback but it all seems to be fake........:eek:
every time I look up the transactions (and sellers/ buyers) the feedback is not listed on the other parties feedback.
Does this mean they are scammers should I report them???:rolleyes:

    Doesn't that mean that they just didn't bother to leave feedback for the other party?

    They don't sound the most socially responsible of ebayers.

    You cannot leave feedback for someone unless you have been in a transaction with them, so feedback in that respecy cannot be fake.

    Like Moglex says, it just means they don't leave feedback for other people.
