Just a quick note about eBay shopping: I was recently tricked into withdrawing a neutral comment about a seller. The withdrawal request implied the user had left negative feedback about me and wished to mutually withdraw. I agreed to do so, since the effect on me of negative feedback, though technically libelous, might be more damaging than one neutral comment among thousands to them. The reason I left the neutral comment in the first place was that he seller took so long to deliver my item. So I withdrew the comment only to realize they’d never left feedback on me whatsoever. Watch out for this practice if you want to have a say in how eBay sellers conduct business.

Also, I've received about one message every two days asvising me my eBay account has been suspended and I need to log in to rectifiy the situation. Of course this is just a phishing scheme from criminals trying to collect eBay usernames and passwords to do who knows what with. Watch out for those as well.
