Yes and no.

Members who left positive: 15
Members who left negative: 2

How can that be as there are 44 so called negative ratings? 43 of them
apparently come from the very same bidder .....
Sure there is stinking something, but it's not clear where the odour is
coming from.

Ebay could do better than that imho. To offer an option to have bidders
identity disclosed is calling for fraudulent actions.
Anyway, bidder's only safe way in this respect is not to bid at
disclosed auctions.
