:Q I can't believe people still do that (actually I can because I have people ask me to do it all the time...) but Paypal even specifically warns against sending items to unconfirmed addresses. Every year I would change the address on mine, once they are confirmed, they stay that way so all you have to do is select which address you want it sent to after that.

<sigh> and people think selling to Eastern Europe is such a bad idea...

That's right! If my fees etc. go towards BW charges, I want to get my money"s worth.

That's not true, since without positive, there is no negative.

But I understand what you're saying. But still, you can't honestly say that, for example, 5,000 feedbacks with 100% wouldn't be impressive and give you confidence that your transaction is going to go smoothly.

What I mean is, the comment itself is utterly meaningless, and that's what the OP seems to be complaining about. You could click positive and enter "the bluebird flies at dawn" and it'd be no different than "A++++++++++++++++++++" I mean, who's better, a seller whose comment was A++ or the seller whose comment was AAAAAA+++++++++++++ ??
