Hahaha! Hey check this guy's auction. He's selling positive feedback. For 30 cents he'll give you some positive feedback to boost your ebay score up! I bought one just for the heck of it!

Hehe seen a few of those, but they are usual hidden with a free ebook etc. I wonder why he wrote 30 cent instead of 1 cent.

Wow, I think it actually costs more to accept a paypal payment. This guy is losing money.
Maybe he is doing this to boost his own rating.
And by the way, this is against ebay policy: LINK (http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/feedback-manipulation.html)

Well of course I have seen all kinds of strager things like that on ebay, but still is kind of funny.
At the same time though, I think its a bunch of shit and very very stupid because a seller just getting on ebay to try and scam people could get a few good feedbacks first, and that would make more people then feel more comfortable buying things from him now that he has a couple positives instead of just a zero, new, feedback rating.
I will definately be reporting this when I get a chance.

Isn't this illegal according to eBay's TOS?

Well thats original... I remember back in like 98 or so, when eBay was a bit younger, MTV had some big charity auction going on, and everyone was leaving feedback for MTV saying something like "Leave me + feedback, and I'll do the same for you" (this was when you could leave feedback for anyone with an account, you didn't have to win any auctions if I remember correctly).
I was young myself, so I did it... and got banned for feedback solicitation.

This guy's account screams future/past scammer. Sell 50 of these fake positives, wait 100 days for the links to die and then scam away on a couple of high dollar items. What a jerk!!

Holy Shit, EXACTLY! That's exactly what I was talking about in my above post, but might not came out the same.
I would have so won this and after I got the positive I would have left him a neg.
"Seller did not leave interesting positive feedback didn't get everything I payed for"
