Look at the recent reviews. Seems ok at first, except for the negative long-winded one near the bottom.

Actually, upon closer inspection, they're basically all FE.

Now go search the forums and see what has been happening. Just a reminder for us "newbies" to watch out!

has been a member for 5 months
was last seen: today
ranked in the top 2% of sellers with 96.9% positive feedback from more than 300 transactions
has 892 fans

How are they in the top 2% of sellers? I'll research the math but, for now, that number will inform my transactions as much as yahoo's "o-rank" affects my fantasy draft, simple clutter.

Cinco, it's because he has so many customers leaving "5/5 FE" reviews, and many fake ones from himself. Some of the other 5/5s are from people who received 50% refunds, which are also likely successful scams (send a postal note with no address to the correct zipcode, and then show SR Staff the Delivery Confirmation saying it was sent but never arrived at the address)

Such a frustrating topic, for both vendors and buyers. It can only be clarified by close inspection of

1. Feedback
2. Seller's profile
3. Forum History/Feedback
4. Re-examine 1-3.
