Buyers may make their feedback private if they have bought a surprise gift.
I very rarely bid on items where the feedback is private.
never really thought about it like that ethel, it would take too long to wade through.
if i was selling something embarrassing to customers i don't think i would go private just to save their blushes as it gives out negative vibes to buyers as they won't be aware of your reasons and will just assume you have got too many negatives and don't want others to see.
mmmm....its a bit of touugh one - get more buyers because you spare their blushes but get less trust and therefore less buyers in return...catch 22, eh?
mind you, would that mean any feedback you left would not be visible too, because surely thats where the buyers would like to be most hidden in case their family looked at it?
people who have their feedback set too private have something to hide. I bought a fake off someone, and after my complaint he instantly set his feedback to private. I wished i'd checked his mutal feedback's as these were all negative speaking. It cost me �7 to send the fake back. Also be carefull and check all the feedbacks, as many are sometimes fake as well, esp from china, africa, holland and ireland. you can genarlly tell when they are all from the same area, or all from people with less than 10, or "no longer registered users" Take care and be carefull.
