Odd, those sound like followups to negative feedback. Maybe he asked to have some negative feedback removed, and somehow his followups got turned into feedback?

Every once in a while, someone really DOES go fuck themselves.

They're really early, from 1998. Probably back when ebay allowed you to give feedback to anyone regardless of a transaction, even to yourself. What happened here is the first guy who left a negative was originally Cdarnell and then changed his account name.

This is right on. I have 3 Neutrals - 2 of them I gave myself because I was defending myself from a negative before there was a "follow up" feature. Also, you used to be able to give people positives without having an auction #, so we gave each other feedback all the time :)

lol. Back then you could also bid on your own auctions before they had reserves. LOL
